As my husband drove the babysitter home after our date night, I went up stairs to check on our son. Every night when I put him to sleep, I always pray over him. The prayers usually sound very similar: “Father, thank you for allowing me to be Isaac’s mommy today. Thank you for all the wonderful activities we shared together. Please put a hedge of protection around him while he sleeps. Help him to have the most beautiful and peaceful dreams. I pray that You fill his room with angels and fill his heart with love, hope, peace and joy. Surround us with the love of Jesus Christ and the blood of ... Read the Post
You are Beautiful
Sometimes I become so busy and self-absorbed that I forget the beauty of the people I care about. I forget the beauty and respect that I have for my husband. I miss the beauty and strength that I see in my sister. I overlook the beauty and the joy I feel for my son. And I see through the beauty and wisdom of my friend. Worst of all, I close my eyes to the beauty and majesty that exists in God. But I am reminded. I am reminded by a song on the radio, the words of a believer and the glory of the sun-touched bay that God is beautiful. He is beautiful and He has created everything in this world ... Read the Post
Stuck
About six months ago my son moved from his highchair to a booster seat. We would buckle him into the seat and scoot him up to the table to eat. He started wanting to buckle himself into the booster seat, which was difficult because he had trouble clicking the latches together. When he finally learned how to do it, he was ecstatic! Every time we would try to buckle him in, he would throw a fit. He wanted to do it all by himself. He continued to buckle himself in every time he sat at the table, even when it was apparent that he no longer needed the support. My son didn’t care. He liked the ... Read the Post
Light's Aquarium
In the house I grew up, there were large skinny windows on either side of the front door. These windows allowed sunlight to shoot into the house like laser beams. One of these laser beams landed directly in the middle of the staircase that was located in front of the door. I used to sit on a wooden step and allow the heat and light of the sunbeam to penetrate me. I waved my hands through the sunbeam and exposed different parts of my skin – face, arms, legs, neck – to its light. I would stretch up on my toes and reach my hands up to the ceiling so I could drown my entire body in its warmth. ... Read the Post
Power of the Flashdrive
For some reason my computer would not read my camera card. Every time I would stick the tiny disk into the USB port, the computer refused to open my picture folder. I'd have to put the card back into my camera and continue taking my family photos. However, after several weeks and dozens of photo ops, my camera was jammed packed with beautiful memories; and I desperately needed to upload them to my family blog – the grandparents were waiting! So I decided to put the pictures on my laptop, save them to a disk and upload them to my home computer. I forgot how large photo and video files are ... Read the Post
