Jesus is watching you!

This weekend has been quiet and relaxing, (so much I even got to change my blog template!) a real contrast to last weekend which had Beth out starting her new deli job, friends over for breakfast, friends dropping in and Megan having her friend Ffion staying over.

Megan & Joff have just got in from their youth club. Tonight they went on a 'night walk' stopping off at pre-arranged homes for hot chocolate and soup etc. I am really thankful to the people that put such effort and care into my children's lives. It's normally me doing all the youth stuff for other people's children so it is so nice to be on the receiving end.

This morning in church we heard a story of a thief who broke into a home, shining his torch on a laptop he heard a voice: "Jesus is watching you!" he froze, his torch went off and listened in the darkness.... Questioning his imagination and promising himself a nice long holiday, he returned to putting valuables in his bag. "Jesus is watching you!" came the voice again, he span round shining his torch looking for the source of the voice, he saw a parrot. "Was that you?" he asked with no response. He noticed the name tag on the parrot's cage said 'Moses' and asked "What kinda weird family names their parrot Moses!" to which the parrot answered "the kind that calls their guard dog Jesus!"
