The Beautiful Lady of the Magic Bucket


Not a great photo, but this is Michelle - "Aunty 'Chelle" to our girls who adore her - an unsung hero. When she had her last baby in hospital, she marvelled at 'the magic bucket' wherein one put baby's dirty nappies and lo, and behold, they disappeared and came back clean!
To us homebirth mothers, she has provided, after every birth, a 'magic bucket' for a whole week after the baby was born.
To us mothers of small children, she has been a practical support and a sanity break.
To us who shift house, she has been the cleaning brigade without fail.

In the words of Kadesh: "I LOVE Aunty 'Chelle."
"Aunty 'Chelle is beautiful - beautiful from God."

Matthew 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
