A Mom's Prayer

I pray Heavenly Father that you will pour out your Holy Spirit on me and my family.
Continue to show me your ways. Show me how to be faithful in my roles as wife and mother. Clearly delineate for me the tasks I am to do in your service. Help me to manage my time well and do all for your glory.

Amen.

To My Heavenly Father



Thank you for your wonders
I praise your majesty
The howling wind
The beating rain
All act at your command.

I remember your past faithfulness
O Lord of Lords
Thank you for your deliverance
Thank you for your guidance

Help me to obey
Help me to serve
Help me to love
Help me to be of good cheer.

Amen

Review: Help Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed!

It was my pleasure to review this book for Mind and Media. Although billed as a children's book, this funny story of government interference run amok is more appropriate for older teens and adults who will more fully appreciate the political implications of the story.

In the story, two young boys who have learned the value of hard work from their parents decide to start a lemonade stand. They are diligent and conscientious and produce a good product much to the consternation of the town liberals. From the mayor on down, the liberals set up so many roadblocks and limitations that the boys' original intentions of starting a simple, high-quality business became lost.

My son, who is 5, seemed to enjoy the story. He did not understand the details but he liked the idea of two boys starting a lemonade stand. He did appreciate that they were opposed in their efforts and he understood that the boys were right to persevere anyway. I did have to try to explain in gentle terms what a liberal was and let my son know that they really are not under anyone's bed.

I found this book to be amusing with great colorful pictures. My husband likes to use it to educate liberals about the problems with liberalism. I am not sure how I like it as a children's book but maybe I will try again when my children are older.

Bible ABC Learning Kit


Check out our Bible ABC Preschool Learning Kit. It includes vintage illustrated Bible cards, Bible stories and letter recognition sheets for your preschooler. The cards can be printed on cardstock and placed on a wall or they can be printed on regular paper and you can help your child make a scroll from them as you explain that God's word was originally printed on scrolls. Also includes a few crafts and other activities, a beginning catechism and more. Let me know what you think.
