Trying this little prayer cube with my toddler!
Mac is 2 and a half as of May 25… he’s usually ecstatic about food and snacks but recently, not so great at sitting down to finish dinner. Being an adult convert to the faith, I’ve never been one to pray before meals.. something about it just always felt “cheesy”. You all know I pray…

A Little Inspiration from Sally
When I get the chance to catch up on my daily devotionals, I grab “Mom Heart Moments” by Sally Clarkson. This is by far the best devotional I’ve found and she has several other books in the same religion/faith realm. There’s no pressure to read these daily (although I try), I simply read the dated…

Easter Crosses for Jesus
I’m a tad late here posting about Easter but I wanted to share pictures of my sweet Mac and get some more ideas for outside “crafts with a purpose”. My husband and I are lucky to have a fairly large yard – perfect for accommodating a wild toddler who seems to enjoy having a mama…
~keeping faith & family close to heart in a modern world~
“As the sparrow finds a home and the swallow a nest to settle her young, my home is by Your altars, LORD of hosts, my king and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They never cease to praise You.
PSALMS 84
Blessed the man who finds refuge in you, in their hearts are pilgrim roads. As they pass through the Baca valley, they find spring water to drink. The early rain covers it with blessings. They will go from strength to strength and see the God of gods on Zion.
LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob. For a sun and shield is the LORD God, bestowing all grace and glory. The LORD withholds no good thing from those who walk without reproach.”
