Glue

Glue. It's what holds us together, what binds us.

I look at my little family and think about what holds us together. I think God's love is the glue that holds us together.

I think of Jesus' instruction to us : To love one another as I have loved you. And I look at the love my girls have for each other, and in that, I do see the love of Jesus.

Today we went for a trip to the Trafford Centre and they had money to spend and thus a list of shops they wanted to visit. One of them was Waterstones ( a book shop for any unfamiliar with it). They wandered through the children's books and neither of them demanded, asked, requested anything for themselves. Instead they each pointed out books that the other would like.

"Esther, come quick, there's a book about owls."

"Phoebe, look......no come here.....it's a rabbit book."

"Esther, I've found an emergency vehicle!"

"Phoebe, I'm going to buy this one because it is about a penguin and I'm going to read it to you."

The last one was purchased and I'm sure they will sit together and Esther will read it to Phoebe.

It was lovely. And then the curled up together on the sofa, each looking after the other, watching Frozen together. The film is all about love, and how an act of love saves a life.

I look at my girls and see love. Love as the glue that holds us together, Love like the Father's love for us, to send His Son to the cross to allow us to live....and to love. And I pray that love will live between sisters, and between each of them and God forever.
