Its been a great relaxed day today. Sarah has been getting ready to take her youth group to Soul in the City and I have just been pottering! I like days like today when I have nothing in particular to do; especially when I have not had a proper ‘day off’ from work for over 2 weeks.
We have spent a lot of time together as a family today and this afternoon we went to The Strand and played Crazy Golf. I won … not that I am competitive of course! Its great to be together – it reminds me that too often in mission it it so so easy to neglect the more important things like family.
I really do not want to be one of those ‘good’ Christians who has a ministry where they see lots of other people become Christians but their own children don’t because mum or dad are strangers due to ‘church’ and ‘mission’. Is it selfish of me to think actually I will be happy only if all 3 of my children remain with God?

Rob, I think it is hoping for the best, thinking you will only be happy if your children continue to know God as they are growing up, not selfish at all.I also think it is very important to enjoy the time you spend with your family, all too often christians involved in the church as their job can forget they need to in-put into their family, as well as their congregation…Just a personal thought. (though I probably have no right to say it, as I’ve never had children or been in that suitation, but hey, I’ve said it now)Joe Friday x
