Digging into the past

A picture from when Premi was just a few months old - probably late 1974.

The amazing thing for me is that I am now 7 years older than my father was when this picture was taken. And still feel like a little kid - though we have two bouncy ones of our own - and are praying about when God wants us to open up our home to one or two more...

One thing is for sure - my respect for what Mum and Dad did for us kids - and what Amma and Appa did for Sheba and her siblings - is sky high.

We always knew that parenting was an impossible task - and are finding that to be true - but thanks be to God for grace - and that too in very large doses!

He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change. - Gerard Manley Hopkins
