2011-10-25T23:44:00.000-05:00

I know there are so many wonderful books available, but I stumbled across this one and must share. It is a simple (that is key, right?) journal. A place to jot your thoughts, prayers, and happenings. A place to write down something funny your kids said, a birthday, something you are thankful for, or a memory. Anyone is welcome to look at it or write in it. You can have your child write their name so you can later see their handwriting. It is a place to record the “little things” you might have otherwise forgotten, the silly little things you don't want to forget. Anyhow, I love it. I think you will too.

Tonia
P.S. They have a Mommy Version too! :)

{Where do we go?}

{Your Marriage}

2011-06-09T08:54:00.000-05:00

Is the adversary attacking your marriage? Don’t let him defeat you. Go after your marriage. Possess the intimacy in your marriage. Maybe you are suffering from guilt from past sin or hang-ups in your mind from your upbringing. Don’t let the enemy deprive you of God’s perfect plan for you. Don’t let the adversary take hold of one little foothold. Rise and possess your marriage in the power of the name of Jesus, the power of the promises of the Word of God and the power of the blood of Jesus. (Leviticus 26:13)

Do you need someone to talk to?

is!

So cute!

Did you know that a newborns brain is composed of nearly 100 billion brain cells? For the

brain to work properly, those cells need to start communicating with each other. The more connections they

make, the better. Music, rhyme and intentional play help your child's mind develop.

Sing some songs about Jesus today!!

important through the remainder of the winter months.

{Missed Opportunities ~ from: Biblical Parenting}

2010-11-12T11:47:00.002-06:00

Every day parents have opportunities to touch the hearts of their children. Sometimes it's through a story or a hug, or an apology, but often it's through the daily correction that children need.

Addressing the heart is important. Unfortunately some parents respond to their children in ways that miss the heart. One of the mistakes parents make is that they make excuses for their children. We've all heard them.

He'll grow out of it.
She's so cute.
At least she's doing what I asked.
He's tired.
He's just going through a stage.
At least she's better than other kids her age.
That's the way kids are.
She's a teenager.
He's a two-year-old.
He's a boy.
She could be a lot worse.

Each of these is an excuse for not disciplining and often represents a missed opportunity to teach or direct a child on a deeper level. Remember, we aren't just trying to help children change on the outside to develop appropriate behavior. We're trying to help them change their hearts.

Since these statements might have truths behind them, we may choose to discipline a little differently, postpone a consequence, or redirect children. There's nothing wrong with that, but we must be careful not to ignore heart issues in the process.

Look for ways to challenge your children on a heart level this week. You'll be surprised at how many opportunities are out there.

This parenting tip was taken from the book, Home Improvement, The Parenting Book You Can Read to Your Kids, by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN.
