A Truth We Are Believing
Hebrews 1:3
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
Jesus Christ is infinite power mixed with radical love.
A Way We Are Living
Parenting a child with complex medical and special needs, three other kids, ministry, and over a decade of graduate and post-graduate studies makes it feel like we are always making significant decisions.
One of the most helpful questions we have a habit of asking when faced with decisions is “What will get us more of Jesus?”
It is a simple question but the answers have meant decisions with profound outcomes.
A Book We Are Reading
We love children’s books! Our house is filled beautiful picture books! We have read thousands of picture books to our kids and yet one of our favorite authors remains Robert McCloskey.
Whether it is Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, Make Way for Ducklings, Time of Wonder, or Burt Dow, Deep-Water Man. His books are gold!
An Idea We Are Pondering
Most of the sweetest moments of our days with our kids come when the homeschool books get closed, the scheduled stuff is over, and we can just live, go on adventures, laugh so hard we cry, and enjoy God’s good gifts.
Don’t make life so complicated.
Enjoy its simple joys with precious people.
An Item We are Recommending
A travel game changer for our family has been the Safety Sleeper.
It fits into a suitcase, can go anywhere, is safe, and takes about 20 minutes to set up.
Before getting this for our oldest son, Levi our travel possibilities were zip! But since buying one of these almost 10 years ago, Levi’s safety at night is no longer a reservation to getting away as a family!
