We are HUGE Veggie Tale fans in our home. From Larry Boy, to Penniless Princess, to the hilarious Silly Songs, and everything in between; Veggie tales are always a great way to teach valuable lessons in a fun way! My Review of Beauty and the Beet Beauty and the Beet did not disappoint! It was an amazing story of unconditional love and mercy. As an adult, even I was able to take a valuable lesson away from this fun film. We can say "love one another" and say that we "love" people, however, it can be very hard when the people we are supposed to love are extremely unlovable! This story showcases just such an issue. Loving the UNlovable. Showing mercy and kindness to those who do not deserve it. A task that is easy to say we will do, but very hard to actually live out. My 10 year old … [Read more...]
I Want My Children to Be Kind
I desire for my children to be kind. They know this. We talk about it and I pray it for them. Honestly, the report I most enjoy hearing from school about my girls is that they are kind to others, helpful in class and protective of each other.

I knew my daughter wasn't doing it on purpose, she loves this friend, but she was so caught up in her own excitement that, in her … [Read more...]
We Need Only TRUST our Trustworthy God!
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind. Do not rely on your own insight or understanding. - Proverbs 3:5 The longer I walk with the Lord, the more I realize He just does not do things the way I expect Him to. I sit here and fret. He remains calm and in control. I wonder how we will afford to eat this month. He makes a way unexpectedly. I worry and cry about Christmas for my kids. He reveals a better plan than my own. I am amazed at the grace, love, and mercy of our God. He is amazing and awesome. Who else can we put all of our hope and trust in?? No one can meet our needs like Daddy God. He will never leave us or forsake us. His love for us is deeper and wider than we could ever imagine, and like a dear sister told me this week: He wants to pour out His love on us extravagantly! We need only TRUST our trustworthy God! Let's Pray: Father God, thank You for pouring out Your love on me each and every day. Thank You that even though I do not … [Read more...]
