Family Prayer Time

Do you have a time in your home when you do family devotions and pray together? When my first three were little, we didn’t find this important, but thankfully God changed our hearts, and we sit down for family devotions at least five times a week now. Coming together to read God’s Word and pray

Looking for Those Teachable Moments

  “MOM!” How many times do you hear that word in a day? Over the past 25 years, I have heard that word at least 50 times a day. I remember the first time our oldest son said it.  I cried.  I thought it was the sweetest word I could ever hear.  Now, I will admit

Being Content Right Where God Has You

  As a stay-at-home mom, I know I have felt like nothing I was doing was of much significance. I have had many pity parties for myself. I have questioned God as to how I could be a witness for Him if all I do is wash dishes, do laundry, and clean toilets. It took

The Most Important Subject

  Several years ago, my husband and I were convicted of not spending enough time in God’s Word as a family. It wasn’t a vital part of our lives. We would have a Bible class during school, but it wasn’t a priority. It was just another subject that we studied as part of our curriculum.

Family Rules

  Every now and then our kiddos get out of sorts. They forget every single ounce of character training and they rebel against our rules. It’s never a pretty sight, let me tell you. As parents, it is our job to train and correct them. When they choose to forget what we have taught them

The Positives and Negatives of Homeschooling

  As a homeschooling parent I have many days where homeschooling is a joyous experience, but then there are those days, that I look at myself in the mirror and just have to ask, “What are you thinking woman?” I am sure you all have been there. On the good days, I feel like I
