Things we do for our children

I was trying to think about what to write this morning.  Thoughts were going through my head.  One of those thoughts was that I am going to Chuck e Cheese later with my six year old for a birthday party!!  That made me think…oh the things that we do for our children. I wrote earlier

Hearts Everyday: Day 1

I saw this challenge sometime last month and knew I had to do it! These are for all 6 of my kids, plus my husband! Cover their doors with positivity all month long.

What We Love #Thisis38

My Devotion this morning finished with this questions.  What is it that God made you to love?? The answer to that is children.  Mine, of course.  Then my niece’s, nephew’s and friend’s children.  I have had multiple jobs where children were the center of my work.  Working at 2 child care centers, being the children’s

Ten Minutes to DREAM

What dream is in your heart that you haven’t seen God do for you yet? There are a lot of dreams on my heart right now.  Things that I have been talking to God about, been brave enough to talk to God about since the first of the year. I have often thought, I am

Our 6 children
