Sharing Some of My Blessings With You
Growing in Faith
Part of the Story
My boys have gone a kick where they enjoy making books. They draw sequential pictures to their stories and occasionally add some words. Then they will assemble their books with a three-hole punch and three pieces of yarn. Earlier today my son was sharing one of his...
Thank God He’s Not Like the Weatherman
I’ve lived in St. Louis for the last nine years, and something happened for the very first time this month… The weatherman got the snow forecast right!!! Granted the snow forecast for St. Louis was 2-10 inches of snow… but we actually got what was predicted. People in...
Swinging the Bat
Sunday after church my kids were playing in the gym. My kids love to “play sports,” but they have not really been trained or taught how to play most sports. They have some basic knowledge of how to use the equipment, but proficiency is not a reality. They definitely...
Change of Perspective
My children love to do the Hidden Picture puzzles in magazines. We have a stack of Highlights magazines on our books shelves that have accumulated over the years. Yet, these magazines continued to be viewed over and over again specifically for the Hidden Picture...
Embrace Change
Well, I think it’s officially fall in Missouri! One day it was over 70 degrees, then a cold front came through, and now it’s 40. The cool crisp temperatures have been anticipated, but when they finally arrived it shocked us all. This morning my kids wanted to go...
It Takes Some Practice
This morning I was working with my first grader on his math assignment. I looked at the problem and said, “What’s six plus six?” Within a matter of seconds, he spewed out, “Twelve.” I read the next problem, and just as quickly he answered it. Suddenly his eyes...
The Indication Light
Last Friday my kids had a doctor’s appointment. Since my morning was a little out of routine, it really didn’t surprise me that I forgot my cell phone at home. Oh well, I figured. I will be home in an hour, and I probably won’t even miss a call. I really didn’t even...
Misplaced Puzzle Piece
I love dollar stores! Seriously- I refuse to buy some items at regular stores when I can pay ¼ of the price (or less) at the dollar store. Recently I had to go to the dollar store for one of those items with my kids. My kids are aware that the only place we buy...
Temporary Bubbles
Bubbles! This morning I sat outside watching all five of my children happily play with bubbles. Smiles. Laughter. Blowing bubbles at each other. Running around in circles. Comparing the sizes of bubbles. Popping. Blowing. Repeat. So much fun! For about 15...
Good Guys VS Bad Guys
My kids really like the show “Wild Kratts” right now. As a parent, I like it too. They get to learn about wild life in an entertaining way. Since my kids are into the super hero thing, the good guys verse bad guys approach while applying science couldn’t be more...
