Insects

My 9 year old son has been learning all about insects @ school and for home-work this week he had to write a 4 paragraph story entitled

WHY INSECTS DONT MAKE GOOD PETS

Because you can easily lose them. And they will eat your vegetable garden. And They are pests because they might set up camp in your sisters bedroom. And your mum might have a heart attack if she finds one in her bed. They might drown in your mums coffee or get decapitated in your air-conditioning unit.

They might sting you if you don't have any shoes on. They might go up your nose at night and tickle you so you wake up. Dust mights can give you asthma. Your nits might get jealous because there are other insects in the house. They might squish between your toes.

They might have a fight with your vacuum cleaner. Or you could find one thinking your butter's a swimming pool. This could be quite an expense to register your insect pets. How would you make your decision which insect to bring for pet day at school?

When you get your photo taken with your pet, people will think it's just a self portrait. They might go down the plug hole. The land lords may charge extra rent. Max my dog might get jealous. M.A.F. may visit and give you a heavy fine.

These are just some of the reasons why insects arn't good pets!

TXT MSG (Dad replys) GOD is good

I wont blog my immediate response !!

Yes I agree God is good - as I think of the effort both the boys put into their games and the friendship and the hot chockolate to warm us all up, I admire my children - they know God is good, even in the cold difficult patches

GIVING THANKS FOR THE BEAUTY IN MY LIFE JUNE 2007

Trying to decide which photograph to publish on blog and remembered Joy Cowelys poem found in "Psalms for the road". This is the first verse.

Let us give thanks for the beauty we know, Autumn colour and wet spring blossom nature pinging against our hearts, causing them to slow in awe, thanks for sunlight green in a wave, for diamond bright beaches and starry nights, thanks for the beauty in childrens eyes.
