Playtime

My husband left for Belgium on a school trip early this morning and friends with a new baby came to our home for lunch after church.

After our guests had left, I went upstairs to check all was tidy before we settled in front of a film together.

I was moved. This scene spoke so much to me of a happy time spent playing together, alongside each other, in a safe and peaceful world.

There's just something about children being happily engaged in their own doings. Love the peek into their afternoon play.
