Did you know there is a difference between being nice and being kind? When you’re nice you tend to be really agreeable. It is a surface level action. When you’re kind you tend to be very genuinely compassionate at a deep level. Sometimes in an effort to not seem mean or offensive, people are too…

Little treasures
I realized today that I have not really talked about a certain topic. It is definitely a heated topic, even among Christians. Though I know I must speak for those that cannot.

Victorious
My youngest son and I sat and played a few games of chess. He beat me every time, though I don’t mind. I loved watching him use his skills and put them into action. He is quite clever at this game, and to be honest, I am unsure that I will ever beat him at…

Grateful for the seasons
