We are too busy cultivating our outward thankfulness to realize what we are actually doing. In snapping selfies during the holiday season, our narcissism spills over in edited images of ourselves: 'Here's me being thankful!' or, 'Here's me with the 24lb turkey I cooked!' and again, 'Here's me with my family!'
Remember why we are celebrating, why do we want to be with these people? What joy can we bring, what can we learn?
“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and give thanks continuously... Because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”

Professor Landon does an excellent job at providing context on when, why and to who The Prince was written.
Why are these things important? What is the reason for doing them? What value will they bring to our lives?
To be able to share what we have with others and to bring joy into other's lives by using the gifts and talents we have been given. Also to not feel so lonely.
To provide space for life to happen.
To provide more time to enjoy each other's company, to do the things we love and for Brandon to discover the world around him.

Caught the train from Loganlea to Southbank. Not as many people there as I would have thought, we ended up getting a seat on the river wall right across from one of the barges. It was really nice to get to sit with Brandon and he had a huge smile on his face when the fireworks started. He loved the noisy fireworks. It was a nice to relax after a not so great week. Brandon managed to stay awake for the train trip back home and he amused a girl waiting with us when he was asking if we where earthlings and if there are any people that aren't earthlings.
I didn't get much chance to rest because I had to look after Brandon and Bradley, very tired and cranky all day except for the show.

A strange tale, a love story where there is not much evidence of why they love each other? I can see why it was shocking for its time but divorced from it's time it is just a tale of annoying kids in young love do terrible things.

We parked on the road as it we left home fairly late and it didn't look like there was going to be any parks available so we had an extra 800? m walk. We scrambled down the rocks to find a good place to setup. Brandon loved the water and it wasn't to cold. I wish I had brought my togs so that we could have swam a bit more but Brandon still had fun playing in the water. He made it most of the way back to the car park without complaining but struggled to walk back along the road to where we parked the car but made it in the end. We had lunch on gallery walk and picked up some wine and chocolate before heading home.

A very uneven movie. As a culmination of 10 years of Marvel movies it is almost perfect. Everyone fits together, the villian has depth, old movies aren't re explained and the movie has a compelling story arc. But the tone is very uneven, on screen carnage followed immediately by comedy robbed the story of some of its depth, and the deaths at the end are meaningless knowing that there is a second moving coming and upcoming movies announced.
Not what I was expecting at all. Much darker and deeper, more philosophical. What happens when human desires and emotions are decoupled from human biology.
RIned while we where at E&B, thankfully it didn't last long and we had finished eating.
Not the most relaxing day. Spent the morning cleaning the outside table to do craft with Brandon and he wanted to do the craft with Benita instead. He then asked to play Mario Kart but wasn't interested in racing properly or watching me play.
Very long day, the kids had fun and Brandon was thrilled to see Alex but we didn't end up getting to see/do that much. I think we could have more fun doing something else.

We are told that Christ was killed for us, that his death has washed out our sins, and that by dying He has disabled death itself. That is Christianity. That is what has to be believed. Pg 55
But the Christian thinks any good he does comes from the Christ-life inside him. He does not think Good will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us. Pg 63
Human beings judge one another based by their external actions. God judges then by their moral choices.
...
Some of us who seem quite nice people may, in fact, have made so little use of a good hereditary and a good upbringing that we are really worse than those whom we regard as fiends. Pg 91
... I want to make it as clear as I possibly can that the centre of Christian morality is not here. If anyone thinks they Christians regard unchastity as the supreme vice, he is quite wrong. The sins of the flesh are bad, but they are the least bad of all sins. Pg 102

Consequently, if you do not listen to theology, that will not mean that you have no Ideas about God. It will mean that you have a lot of wrong ones - bad, muddled, out of date ideas. For a great many of the ideas about God which are trotted out as novelties today are simply the ones which real Theologians tried centuries ago and rejected. Pg 155
It is a 'Christian idea' in the sense that great and wise Christians have held it and there is nothing in it contrary to Christianity. But it is not in the Bible or any of the creeds. You can be a perfectly good Christian without accepting it, or indeed without thinking of the matter at all. Pg 171

Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. – Luke 6:28
Repeatedly, the Bible counsels us not to avoid conflict, but to meet it head on. In doing so, we send a message to our spouse that we will continue to love and pursue a relationship with them, regardless of what’s going on in their life, that we accept them for who they are, and want nothing but the best for them.
When a spouse snaps at you because they’re frustrated, instead of retaliating or walking away, step in and give them a hug. Ask them what’s going on.

Exodus 17:14-16 NLT After the victory, the LORD instructed Moses, “Write this down on a scroll as a permanent reminder, and read it aloud to Joshua: I will erase the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” [15] Moses built an altar there and named it Yahweh-Nissi (which means "the LORD is my banner"). [16] He said, “They have raised their fist against the LORD ’s throne, so now c the LORD will be at war with Amalek generation after generation.”
Deuteronomy 25:17-19 NLT “Never forget what the Amalekites did to you as you came from Egypt. [18] They attacked you when you were exhausted and weary, and they struck down those who were straggling behind. They had no fear of God. [19] Therefore, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies in the land he is giving you as a special possession, you must destroy the Amalekites and erase their memory from under heaven. Never forget this!
1 Samuel 15:2-3 NLT This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has declared: I have decided to settle accounts with the nation of Amalek for opposing Israel when they came from Egypt. [3] Now go and completely destroy a the entire Amalekite nation — men, women, children, babies, cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and donkeys.”

Hi
We are concerned that for the third time this year Brandon has come home injured without us being informed. This includes an extremely serious bite and swelling and scratches around his eye.
It is very frustrating to not be able to talk to Brandon about what is happening when we are not being told the circumstances around these injuries.
We are also concerned about Brandon's behavior at Kindy and his struggles to make friends. A few steps have been made towards helping him in this since the middle of the year progress report, but we feel not enough is being done. We where only just informed on Monday that he has been hitting his friend Mackenzie. Benita was told it has been happening for awhile, and yet this was the first time we had heard about it. Not only that, but Benita was only told about it because she approached the staff member about him being hurt by another child in a completely unrelated incident and the response she got was that he's been hitting Mackenzie when he gets upset that she's playing with other children and won't play with him. When Benita tried to enquire further about why it might be happening, so that we can talk to him about it and find a possible solution, we where unable to get any helpful feedback and was just told he's just lashing out and that we should talk to him and that Mackenzie should be able to play with other children. Which we do understand, but if he's lashing out because he feels lost and has no other friends, it would be helpful if he can be guided towards other friendships.
Can you please explain what you will be doing to
I am happy to have a meeting about it if that is necessary.
I am deeply concerned about the conduct of the staff at Goodstart My Warren Park as on multiple occasions my.child had come home injured with no communication on that it happened or incident report. This includes facial injuries and a bite causing significant bruising. When this has been raised with the teachers and director our concerns have been dismissed.
