Persistence

I have been reading  this morning about the persistent faith of the Canaanite Woman in Matthew 15:21-28. Jesus speaks on a number occasions about us being persistent in our faith, in our requests and in our Walk. Of course this isnt the only point that this story brings out but it is what has spoken to me today. Not to just be persistent when things are tough but all the time.
I was then watching a short video clip of the twins having a surfing lesson with daddy, persistence is required on all parts in this!

Devon in the Sunshine

We have been away in Devon for a week, hence part of the reason for no blog for a while, the weather was beautiful so there were walks in the park, on the beach, lunch on the harbour at Mevagissey in Cornwall, visits to the farm and the first surf of the year. Lots of fun and food stops!

(I pinched the first four photo's from my son n law)

We have just got back from our holiday, we had a great time, beginning in Wales for 4 days with our daughter and her family. Wales was beautiful, we stayed in a cabin, went in the sea (which was very cold) and did some sight seeing. We then went down to Devon to stay with them for a further week before taking my Mum away to the North Devon/Cornwall border. The weather wasn't too good but we had some trips to the beach, visited a couple of National Trust houses,and ate loads of food! Our children have a beit of a mixed heritage...my husband was born in London but his father's side are from Cornwall and his mothers from Ireland. I was born in Surrey but my maternal grandparents were from Wales and Yorkshire and my paternal grandparents both from Lancashire. Three of our children were born in Cornwall and one in Devon.
