Back in March we held a Thanksgiving service for Rhian (our second child).  We did this as we wanted to acknowledge publicly that Rhian is a gift from God and say thank you for her.  It was great to have a number of friends and family all together to share this occasion.  The service was made up of singing, prayer and a short talk, followed by food, cake and bouncy castles.

For me having children has raised big questions.  It’s one of those big life experience that makes you think.  I want the best for my girls, but what is best for them?  As I’ve pondered this it leads to more questions - what do I want in life for them and what is it to live a satisfying and worth whiled life?  One minute I am thinking about changing nappies and who’s my favourite Disney princess the next I am pondering the meaning of life!
