25 Christ-Centered Christmas Books For Your Kids
As the local librarian in our small town, my husband gets to make all the purchasing orders for books at the library. (Yeah, I kind of think he has the coolest job EVER!) As we get closer to Christmas, he always finds himself frustrated when trying to find a balance of new Christmas books. You see, pretty much every single new book advertised about Christmas has to do with Santa Claus. It takes some serious digging to find a new children’s Christmas book that is about Jesus. Now that we have two kids of our own, we are always hunting for Christmas books that will focus on Jesus’ birth.…

Practical Steps To Take If You Feel Unqualified To Teach Your Kids The Bible
Okay, I have a confession to make. Some days, I feel overly confident in my ability to teach my kids the Bible. They are so young which means we are still working on the basics. Also, I would like to believe I have a decent grasp of the Bible, academically speaking. Then the other 360 some days of the year, I find myself fighting feelings of being unqualified to train my own kids from the Bible. I question if I am doing enough, ponder if I am capable of doing it well, and doubt whether I said the right thing at all! And my daughter is just now getting…

The ABCs of Thankfulness for a Christian Mom
Ever since I can remember I have rejoiced over the time of year leading up to Thanksgiving. Cozy evenings with my family in front of the fireplace reading and playing games in the firelight. Piles of leaves that I would stomp through for hours on end! (This one has lost some of the enchantment now that I am an adult in charge of the raking rather than just a cute little “helper.” :)) Although now I delight in watching my kids and dog carry on the tradition! And most of all, the change of pace. We would slow down from the busy planting and harvesting seasons on…
