I've just been to Tempo for Tots. This is a little music and story time for toddlers. It was a really good time but is folding because so few are attending. Our village has lots of toddlers and we can't understand why they are not turning up. It is free so there is no question of people being unable to afford it.The parents also have to stay, perhaps if they could leave them they would use it, but that's not what it is about; it is about enjoying music and movement with your child.Families are so fragmented today, often with both parents feeling it is necessary for them to work. This means children are often with child minders. Time spent with our children is precious time.
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
