Prepare a Meal and Share God’s Love with Others
At home, our meals are simple. Homeschooling three children and chasing after a toddler has forced me to rethink meals. I love to be in the kitchen, creating, but I’m trying to accept the demands this season of life places on me. Hence, I am looking for quick and easy meals that are also healthful, fresh, and filling. Maybe you are looking for the same thing. Preparing a meal for people is one way to share God’s love. I encourage you to reflect this love to the people in your sphere of ... [keep reading]
What Your Daughter Needs to Know About Faithfulness
Being faithful in our walk with Christ is a good reminder for adults and kids alike. Share this excerpt with your daughter from God's Girl Says Yes and encourage her to be faithful to Him, no matter what. *** “I know the plans that I have for you.” This message is from the Lord. “I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future” (Jeremiah 29:11 ERV). I love reading this verse because it reminds me that God has good plans for us. But did you ...

Leading Your Kids in Prayer is Simple. Here’s How
My favorite definition of a leader is this: A leader is someone who goes first. I like it because it’s simple, it’s practical, and it makes leadership achievable. Something anyone can do who is willing to get out there, give it a try, and learn from their mistakes. The people who follow find direction and courage in the steps of the leader. Sometimes they get a good laugh watching the leader make colossal blunders. Hopefully, the leader laughs too. Leading in prayer can be like that. ... [keep reading]
What My Dad Taught Me About Affection
Father's Day is here. As a dad and a husband, this is supposed to be a day celebrating me. But as I look back on what my dad taught me, I realize this holiday has the potential to be so much more. It’s difficult for me to separate any memory I have of my father from the smell of Old Spice. For anyone unfamiliar with Old Spice, it is a quality cologne that can be purchased wherever other fine fragrances, such as Aqua Velva or Skin Bracer, are sold. It has a distinct, aptly named aroma that ... [keep reading]
Don’t Wait to Teach Your Child the Importance of Being Patient
I know myself well. And truth be told, I’m not always thrilled about that. By knowing myself, I am fully aware of my shortcomings. And they are ugly. In fact, being in short supply of patience often tops my list. There are times I beat myself up for how I’ve handled a situation or how I’ve behaved (and I’m supposedly a grown-up!). At my age, I scold myself, I should know better! I’m extremely grateful God doesn’t base his love for us on behavior…if he did, I might very well be in perpetual time ... [keep reading]
When Your Heart is Breaking, Hold On for God’s Healing
Have you ever envisioned something a certain way only to have it turn out differently than you planned? How did you feel about that? Happy? Probably not. Disappointed? That’s more likely. Maybe you even felt disillusioned? That’s the way I felt in 1999 when my wife suggested we adopt all our kids. I adamantly resisted and even flat-out said “No!” Not that I was against adoption or caring for children who weren’t biologically ours. I just didn’t fully understand how adoption works. ...

What Happens When You Can’t Hold it Together?
One of my favorite places on earth is unreachable without a four-wheel-drive, off-roading vehicle. You won’t see tour buses. No tickets are sold for it, and there isn’t a concession stand available for visitors. Topping out at almost 12,000 feet in elevation, Columbus Basin, in the La Plata Canyon of western Colorado, takes my breath away. I’ve stood at the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China, but man-made monuments pale in comparison to the majesty of God’s declaration of sovereignty through ... [keep reading]
How Do You Help Your Child Deal with Fear?
Because we’re human, we know fear. We’ve experienced it, looming over us, daring us to a challenge. And when we become moms, we suddenly discover fears we never knew existed: “My baby isn’t crawling yet, there must be something wrong.” “Maybe I’m too strict with my children, or maybe not enough.” “I’m raising my children as believers, but what if they fall away when they’re older?” “What if I become ill and can’t take care of my child?” Or, “I do my best to keep my child safe, but what if ...

From a Mom’s Heart – A Special Prayer for Mother’s Day
Mom, this is for you on your special day. Give thanks to Him for all He's done in your life. He loves you so much! Lord, look at my little ones. They’re looking to me for love and guidance, for truth and knowledge, for help in navigating this big, big world. I’m overwhelmed with the beautiful responsibility and so very grateful for this most-important life work. You are my provider, my encourager, and so I turn to you. Father, I give my heart to you—please fill it with patience. They’re ... [keep reading]
