We are back after a one week break. During our unannounced break, two of our readers reached out, one to check if we left her out of the distribution list while the other was wondering if we were testing to see if people will read without the weekly reminder prompt. These two individuals by theirContinue reading “Worth the Find II”

Worth the Find
One of my favourite games to play with my children is a treasure hunt around the house. I always begin by drawing a picture of the house, next I put together some treats and then I move around the house to locate the best spots to hide the treat and leave them clues on theContinue reading “Worth the Find”
Bow or Burn
Every coin has two sides, just like every story. The side that we choose to hear and retell and the side that we prefer not to speak of. The gospel is not different. A lot of times, it is easier to take in the good – the blessings, miracles and promises. But our faith isContinue reading “Bow or Burn”
Lest We Forget 2
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayers. Acts 2:42 Last week, we reflected on the ways of the early church to remind ourselves of the basics. We talked about the importance of studying the Word and Fellowship with other believers. One of my early memoriesContinue reading “Lest We Forget 2”
Lest We Forget
We got together as a family to reflect on the month of May, my husband decided to do a roll call of the things that we are thankful for. As he called out the different reasons, I realised I had forgotten some of them. It was like I replaced the things that happened early inContinue reading “Lest We Forget”
All
This week, my household encountered the music of ‘For King and Country’. We have listened to a few of their songs without realising who sang them, but we spent a lot of time watching a video of their song ‘Amen’. The video is amazing with lots of meaningful aesthetics and each scene symbolized an aspectContinue reading “All”
Eyes on Us
Children learn a lot by observing, they have their eyes laser-focused on you even when you are not aware of it. My husband and I agree that our parents are our greatest influencers. I see a lot of traits in my husband that make me say, “the apple did not fall too far from theContinue reading “Eyes on Us”
Are you there?
During our morning prayers, I overheard my husband say the words, “Father, your presence is all we need today”. Those lines are not new but today, they stopped my own prayers and my thoughts began to wander, as I stopped to ponder on those words. Father – a parent figure; Presence – a state ofContinue reading “Are you there?”
The Office of a Parent
Many years back, on two occasions, I had the opportunity to speak to our church on Parenting. The messages were titled ‘Like Arrows’ derived from the Bible verse in Psalms 127:4 and ‘Godly seed’ from Malachi 2:15. As I prepared for those two sermons, one thing stood out clearly, parenting is not a natural progressionContinue reading “The Office of a Parent”
What Manner of Love?
It’s love week, yes oh! All over the world, gifts will be received and given, a fine display of creativity as boy and girl, man and woman work overtime to impress and outdo. Pockets will bleed in the process and as I sit I have no idea what I have planned. This week, we tellContinue reading “What Manner of Love?”
