Hi Mom, This month, we’ve been focusing on different ways to connect with your kids. We’ve saved the one nearest and dearest to our hearts for last—books.

Discover the Easy Way to Pray Every Day With Your Kids
Mom, do you pray with your kids? Here's some thoughts that might inspire you. I’ve prayed with my kids every night since they were little. This means I do the lion’s share of the praying while they stare at their gummy vitamins and wait for me to say “Amen” so they can eat them.

Do You Feel Truly Accepted by God?
Hi, mom. I have a confession to share with you. Maybe you've felt this way too. It’s easy for me to believe God loves me. I can understand He has forgiven me. But making the leap to believing He has truly accepted me is another story. Perhaps that’s because we experience so little true acceptance with each other. The preacher talks about grace but gives us a list of rules to follow. Friends promise to always be there for us, only to turn their backs when we don’t meet their expectations. ... [keep reading]
Did You Know Your Life Story Has Been Written by God?
Hello, mom. This Scripture was on my heart to share with you today. In Psalm 139:13-16, David the psalmist sang eloquently about the loving writer of our script: For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
