Fulfilling the Great Commission Through Adoption
Our dear friends are adopting a child from China next month. They already have four biological children, but the Lord has moved them to express our adoption in Christ in a tangible way. Their adoption will be a visible testimony to all who know them of God’s pursuing love for His children. As the old hymn proclaims, “Jesus sought me when... [Read more of this article]
Be a Voice
God created each of us. All of us. We are not various races of people, we are one…the human race, created by a loving God. Over the ages, a tiny little lie took root and grew. A lie that says all human life is not equal, not precious, not a right bestowed by a loving Creator. It is not a political issue; it is a human rights issue. It is a God...

Show Me How: Starting a Homeschool Co-Op
Starting a homeschool co-op can be as simple as a few moms meeting together and teaching various skills to your own children. Or, it can be as organized as meeting in a church on a certain day every week for an entire semester and having parent volunteers teach elective classes. If you are thinking of starting a co-op, here are some things to... [Read more of this article]
Moms’ Gifts of Love
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 I am sick of laundry, dirty dishes and filthy floors. I am the mom, not the maid! Have you ever felt that way? As a mom of many, I must admit I get to this point more often than I care to admit. A... [Read more of this article]
God of This Family
It had been a hard day mentally and spiritually for my family. The radio blared in my mini-van as I tried to focus on praising the Lord. My head was telling me even the Lord could have problems calming this massive storm. As I drove with tears streaming and my heart laid bare before the Lord, I felt hopeless. I needed encouragement in a serious... [Read more of this article]

Home for Christmas
The first time I went home for Christmas, I was in my freshman year at college 1500 miles away from the military base in New Hampshire where my parents lived. My flight was to put me in Boston by 6 p.m., but bad weather delayed it. The counter agent promised to get a message to my parents that my plane would be late. I arrived in Boston three hours...

Christmas Petit Fours
When I tasted these delicious petit fours at my sister’s baby shower, I knew I had to make them for my family’s Christmas celebration. Although mine did not look as perfect as the ones I had eaten at the shower, they were every bit as yummy. These decadent treats are well worth the extra time and effort they take to make. I owe a debt of... [Read more of this article]

Our son Todd was preparing to move from Germany to Israel. God had led him to visit Israel several times and burdened... [Read more of this article]
Our Merry Little Christmas
I awoke with anticipation. After years of illness, I finally had the energy to host the Christmas gathering for our kids and grandkids. Our home sparkled with festive touches, and the dining room table looked beautiful with our best china and silver. Soon the smell of fresh yeast rolls and simmering beef stroganoff would greet the family. In my mind,... [Read more of this article]
The Real Meaning
My grandparents did not have fancy Christmas decorations. In fact, their Christmas tree was so small it sat on top of their TV. After Christmas each year, Grandma wrapped the tree in Saran Wrap ( lights, decorations, and all) and put it on a shelf behind her bedroom door. Tiny twinkling lights and decorations covered the tree and on top sat a gold... [Read more of this article]
