We all want to be good mums and we want to like doing motherhood. The trouble is, it's hard to work out what's good and harder still to be happy about it. This podcast is a long meditation on what Jesus has to say about what's good when we're raising children. It so happens that joy sneaks up on us when we get on with doing it.

Long thought, digestable bites!

So thankful for this long thought! It’s harder in these little years to get deep nourishment so I’m grateful for how deep this truth goes. Often helps me see ways I need to change and turn back to the way God has designed the world. Simply and beautifully expressed, not rambling but carefully crafted.
