Friends
God is amazing! He provides us with glimpses of His character through our friends and relationships. We can see His nature reflected in the eyes of those who come in and out of our lives. A few nights ago, I explained to my daughter, “there are friends that stick closer than a brother or sister, […]

Sad
During the week, the little one told me he was sad, but he does not know the reason for his sadness. So, we did one of the things I do when I am sad- Sing songs of praise and thank God! I do not only sing because I am happy, I sing when I am […]
Disobedient to Parents
You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have […]
My Goal As a Parent
Our ultimate objective as Christian mothers is to see our children walk in their God-given destiny, not to make them happy. A variety of things make our children happy. No boundaries and late nights watching television make kids happy, as does a pile of sweets and loads of soda, as does letting them run wild […]
Comfort
Peanut butter and Jelly are comfort food to me like friends who comfort. There are sweet jelly times and sticky, gooey, salty moments with a few crushed nuts added. A tall glass of milk or your favorite refreshing beverage helps the sandwich bites to go down. I have been blessed with older women who mentor, […]

Great Peace For Our Children
All your children will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their peace. Isaiah 54:13 (NLT) For the past two weeks, this scripture has been bubbling up in my heart each time I pray for the little ones. I declare it over them with all my heart. My greatest desire is that they […]
Tokophobia

Healing Through Sacrifice
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. […]
Empty Pouch
Recently, I asked the little one to give his brother an empty pouch of caprisun in exchange for a full pouch of caprisun. He refused my offer because a full pouch was not in sight. I was upset that he could not look beyond the moment and help solve the problem at hand (calm his […]
Unoffendable
Have you ever tried being friendly, but you were not treated in a friendly manner? I experienced that recently and it did not hurt my feelings.

Daughters and Fathers
