Look at the letter my children received in the mail last week! They were so excited! :) The kids had to decide what they might take for a long trip NOW. We had all kinds of interesting things we were bringing. :) After we discussed what we would like to bring with us, we talked about what the Pilgrims actually did bring. Mrs. Linda had a scavenger hunt prepared with clues to some of the items that the Pilgrims may have had with them. The kids had a lot of fun finding a Bible, dishes, ...

Day 9: Praying the Beatitudes
The beatitudes, found in Matthew 5, are one of my favorite passages in the Bible. Recently, I have been reading through the gospels and looking more closely at the words of Jesus. As I was reading through the beatitudes it struck me that the path to blessings in Christ is the opposite of the ways of the world.

Day 6: A Prayer Testimony
I've always known it was important to pray. But, I haven't always known the life-giving, sustaining POWER of prayer. I've been a Christian for 20 years now, but only in the past 3-4 years has God stirred my heart for more communion with Him. A few years ago my husband and I were in a rough spot. And I will be the first to admit that I was not praying regularly for him. I was in the bad place of allowing every little thing to get on my nerves or frustrate me. I was focusing on the negative, ... Read More about Day 6: A Prayer Testimony
