I've learnt over the years that children are such a blessing but that they are only with us for a short time before it's their time to take wings and fly, so that during the parenting time we teach and guide, support and discipline (when appropriate) so that when that time comes, they will be ready to fly no matter what i.e. spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally etc.
It also brings to mind those children who are in vulnerable situations and need caring adults and caregivers to support their needs as they continue growing which is why as a family we support World Vision and sponsor a child in India and acknowledge that it takes a village to bring up a child.
For the evening, she went with her dad and siblings to watch the Chinese circus 'Zirkar' who are touring in Auckland for a short season and enjoyed the clowns, juggling, magic shows, tricks of the trade and surprisingly no animals although it's neat to see that there are fewer caged animals being accepted into circus performances.
Another year older and enjoying the view...
