The test scores were in. I breathed a sigh of relief, told my son I was proud of him and went to bed. The next day, I couldn’t resist. I told my boys, “Don’t ever let a test dictate what you can or can not accomplish.” I was thankful my son did well, but what

  We had just sat down for family prayer when out of the mouth of my thirteen year old came these words, “Mama, You are so lucky. We all have issues. I’ve got eczema, Josh has feet issues (don’t ask) and Daddy has a cough, but you don’t have anything…You are so lucky.” For the record,

Have you ever wanted to tell the world to just slow down and wait for you? I have. There was a season of my life when I felt as if everyone else was progressing to the next level of life while my life was in standstill mode. It’s hard to be thankful during these “standstill

Not sure how I missed it, but I did. The big warning on the side of the taco shell box that states- do not use in toaster oven. Well, I did exactly what the box advised me not to do. I wasn’t trying to be rebellious. I was just trying to heat up some taco

Have you ever had one of those amazing cleaning days? The kind where the whole family gets involved in the work. Folding laundry, mopping floors, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms.  Like little elves, everyone does their part. And voilá, within hours, your home is clean. What would have taken you all day is done before lunchtime. There
