« Previous Entries Thursday, January 1st, 2009A New Year - A Renewed Determination
Wow! Another year has come and gone. I can’t believe how quickly time is passing.
We have one major goal for our family in 2009.
Consistent Family Devotion
We want to have a consistent time of Bible Study in our home with our children. Our older boys are pretty well versed in the stories in their children’s Bibles as we’ve been reading from them […]
Keep Christ In Christmas Carol Contest
O Come All Ye Faithful
What Child Is This
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Away in a Manger
Silent Night
Don’t you just love Christmas Carols! I could go on and on listing my favorite songs of this season.
I love to hear these songs (all year round really). And I love to hear children sing.
Seems like the perfect time and […]
It’s Thanksgiving….GEEZ!
We went to my sister’s house tonight for a little pre-Thanksgiving gathering and when we arrived there, guess what they were preparing to do???
They were putting up their Christmas tree!!!
WHAT!
Who are these people (if it’s you, I’m so sorry!) who put up their Christmas tree before Thanksgiving. One at a time people! I can’t work […]
Have I Become A Prude?
I took my sons to see High School Musical 3 last night and we had a blast! I loved the singing and the dancing. I found myself clapping after every musical selection.
I did have one complaint. I think some of Gabriella’s dresses and skirts were too short. When she’d spin and dance they would come […]
Fireproof - The Movie
Have you heard of this movie? If not, here’s the website www.fireproofthemovie.com.
My husband and I went to see it today. What a powerful message. Our culture is so quick to say this isn’t working, so let’s give up. Or this marriage isn’t fun or fulfilling or what I thought it would be. Or I’ve changed and you […]
Yes Ma’am, Yes Sir
Bralon, my oldest son has received a lot of my attention lately. He’s in third grade now and he has tons of homework. We’ve been spending a lot of time together working on getting all this homework done.
Plus, it’s so much fun to talk to him because he has such interesting things to say. His perspective on life […]
Let Me Pray, Let Me Pray!
That’s what my 3-year-old says everytime someone says it’s time to pray. It doesn’t matter where we are, home or church or how many people are around.
And it’s always the same prayer.
“Lord thank you for this day. Thank you for this food. In Jesus name. Amen.”
Whether we are blessing our food or closing our Bible study. […]
Determined to Get Focused
I am determined to not let my busy schedule get in the way of leading my children to Christ!!!
It’s so easy to put off devotion and prayer time.
It’s so easy to send the kids to read their Bible on their own.
It’s so easy to let the Children’s Ministry do all the work.
But no more!
I’m determined! […]
Don’t Quench the Spirit
Have you ever tried to explain this concept to your children?
We have a little devotion book that we started and the lesson for today was from 1 Thess. 5:19 “Do not quench the Holy Spirt of God.”
What was helpful was the boys were told to get dressed for the day and they were disobedient and […]
A Real Bible
“Mommy, we need a real Bible.”
That’s what my two sons told me after Sunday School on Sunday. Their teacher told them that they needed to bring a Bible that they can look up scriptures in.
“And these Children’s Bibles don’t have books and chapter, they just have stories.”
So we are on the hunt for a good […]
