Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
But seek first His (Jesus) kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

This is an amazing scripture because it shows that the Kingdom of God is a government under-which laws we can choose to live and reap the benefits from living righteously (in right standing with Jesus Christ). Importantly though, we must not seek after the benefits the Kingdom of God provides to its citizens, but seek the Kingdom itself first.

GROSE FUN AT THE RIVER

“The Grose River has its catchment in the northern section of Blue Mountains National Park and flows into the Nepean River at Yarramundi, near Richmond” (www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au).

“The Grose River and its tributaries have eroded an extensive labyrinth of gorges and canyons through the Hawkesbury (upper) and Narrabeen (lower) group sandstones, exposing cliffs of commonly over 200 metres and up to 510 metres in height” (www.colongwilderness.org.au).

So this is where we visit regularly for a bit of afternoon leisurly fun - a great alternative to the beach which is more than an hour away. There is a convenient extensive sand bank for the littly’s to play on and what great fun it is to swing into the water from a rope hung on a tree!
The sand bank wasn’t always there and has been caused by clearing, urban expansion, changed fire frequency and the roads built around the river catchment.

We taught the dogs to dive under water after sticks - the photos speak for themselves (look in the ‘having a great time’ album link).

Lynda and Natalie have finally arrived in Australia - WELCOME and we are looking forward to the many laughs and conversations to be had.
