Guess who I saw today....

...I saw the Queen!!! Yes, the real, live Queen of Denmark!!!! Her summer residence is not far from where I work. I had just picked Andrew up from the train station and was driving him out to my work. He cleans some of the class rooms on a Friday afternoon. Well as we are driving I can see this big black, lovely, exspensive looking car coming towards me, I recognise the number plate, its got the Royal creast on it. I started to get so excited and almost made Andrew jump out of his skin as I shouted, "Someone from the royal family is in the car coming towards us, look, look, LOOK!!!" I slowed down and as it passed there was our Queen sitting with a beautiful hat on her head....must have been going somewhere special!! I was over the moon!!! "That was the Queen!!" was all I could repeat. Andrew looked at me like I was crazy and slowly shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and said "So?" (Honestly young people today!!!) Anyway it really made my day!! hahaha

So I left Andrew off at work and then I took myself off food shopping.


Meanwhile Leah was on her way into Copenhagen on the train. Today they were recording the first 8 programmes for the Childrens TV show. All week the team have been busy getting the set ready. I cant wait to see the finished programmes.

Leah came home after a great afternoon. She really enjoys doing this, even though its hard on her hands and arms. She is sure building up some muscles!!! I am sure at some stage you will get to see a clip from the finished show!!

I´ve learnt to mind my own business!!

How I learned to mind my own business ~

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were shouting, '13....13....13.' The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see what was going on..... somebody poked me in the eye with a stick! Then they all started shouting '14....14....14'...

(haha Just thought I would bring a smile to your face!!! Thanks Jeff for sending this, I laughed my head off!!! haha)

And just to end....I discovered something new today! Did you know that the Irish discovered Africa?!! Check out the clip below.....

Celebration...

...it has been a wonderful morning of celebration! Wonderful music, wonderful songs with powerful words, a great sermon, sharing communion and fellowshiping with each other afterwards over a cup of tea/coffee. The focus through it all being that Jesus is risen and is alive today!

We eneded the service with a beautiful song which I had forgotten about. Its been ages since I have listened to it. The words are fantastic and so, once again (sorry I always seem to post music things!) I have posted it down below. I just wanted to share it cause the words spoke to me sooo much and it blessed me so much.

Sundays arrived!!!

and Jesus has risen!!! He´s alive, He´s conquered death!! I love Easter Sunday morning. I am just about to head off to church for the Easter celebrations but wanted just to post a song that I have been listening to while getting ready....My Redeemer Lives!!! (not the same one as Lisas,) its just a celebration song that reminds me MY REDEEMER DOES LIVE and because He lives I want, and can, get to know Him and the power of His resurrection....Have a wonderful Easter Sunday!! I have got to go, dont want to be late!!! Bye for now

Because of me....

....and because of you Jesus came. Just wanted to take time today to think about the real meaning of Easter. Just been thinking about Gods love for me. How can I ever doubt His love when I know what Jesus did for me. "...his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond that of human likeness. " Isaiah 52,14

He let that happen to Him because of His love for me. Have a listen to the song below, you probably know it well, but its a favourite of mine. I just listened to the song put together with clippings from the film The Passion. The words and pictures spoke so deeply to me and I was reminded of that verse from Isaiah. But I was also reminded about all the wonderful things that are now mine because of Jesus...

I am now forgiven (Col 2,139
I am now a friend of God (John 15,5)
I am now Gods child (John 1,12)
I have now peace with God (Rom 5,1)
I can come BOLDLY to the throne of grace (Heb 4, 14-16)
and I am loved (always have been!!!...in that while I was a sinner Christ died for me!)


Just a few thoughts I had this morning while listening to this song. Have a listen... I found another video with the song on it, so its NOT the one from the passion. The one below doesnt have the violence in it.

Ikea show room NOW open

...yes, the Ikea show room, based in my living room, is now open!! haha The only thing not from Ikea is the pillows on the sofa!! haha So heres the finished project:-) It has been soooo much fun, shopping and organising it all.

I love having a desk. Although I havent had to much time to sit at it, I know I am going to spend many happy hours there. Only a few cupboards left to clear out and organise. Where do we get all the stuff???!!! I have cleared out and thrown out so many bags of stuff today and it was only in October that I last did that. We just love to gather stuff, but now theres a bit more space again, at least for another few weeks!!

For those who want to see the house via video just click below:
