Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal
Ladies of Landover,
I am feeling a tad down. Mr Luke is up in the Kimberley region at Brother James' diamond mine and I am feeling like a solo mum down here looking after his three boys.
Sister Rebekkah tells me that I am doing a good job with the children. We have got ourselves in to a routine. I am not sure that Matthew, the 8 month old, though really understands the importance of giving thanks to Jesus for the food he blesses us with before we eat. He seems to think that as soon as the plate is on the tray of his high chair he should have a spoonful of food in his mouth. In fact he cries if I make him give thanks to Jesus. I even tried singing our prayers but that didn't seem to help either. Because Matty is not my biological child I am reluctant to use physical discipline - even tho I have Mr Luke's permission to do so.
Potty training for mark (aged 2) has gone totally haywire. I think he misses his Daddy. So he is back in nappies fulltime. We will keep persevering.
John (aged 4) is a pleasure. We made a Noah's Ark card to send to Mr Luke today. I cut the animals out and Johnboy coloured them in and then we pasted it to some card. And we talked about how God sent the floods to kill everyone because they had been evil. But that he saved Noah and his wife and a boy and girl animal of every kind. Johnny was a bit worried about God causing another flood. Particularly when it started raining this evening. He seemed very frightened to go to sleep. But we prayed that Jesus would keep us all safe. He knows that God only kills sinners.
Of course I don't have as much time on the internet now - being a fulltime mum. But I am managing to spend 10 minutes 6 or so times a day in the prayer closet. I am a little behind in my personal bible study as I am spending more time reading biblical stories that I can teach the boys. But it is all good.
