Grown in Faith

What if we looked at people and thought, “that’s someone’s child” no matter their age? Would we treat them with more care and compassion? Would we be there for them more, especially when in need. If we see a homeless person, someone with a disability struggling, or somebody just going through a hard time, would…

I watched a video of a man whom walked around saving people from devastation and destruction. Initially, it looked like he was doing opposite of that. There was a part in the video where he pushed someone. A second after that, a tv fell from above. Though it seemed like the man was just pushed,…

Some people seem to have cookie cutter lives. Their lives seem to be shaped and cut out perfectly. Their recipe for life appearing flawlessly. Then, although we might be happy for those people or even admire them for it, we start comparing. Although we forget that we don’t see what goes into making things so…

It’s always a wonderful thing to see anybody praising God. However, there is something quite special about seeing a child praising God. When I hear my youngest genuinely praying to God, my oldest singing along to songs of worship or even when I see any child praising God. Whether it be through prayer, saying scripture,…

Forgiveness is an act of grace. An action much easier said than at times done. Someone recently really upset me. Although I think there was more hurt and disappointment, than anger. This person humbly apologized to me. I almost immediately wanted to be prideful though. I wanted to say more on how upset that I…

It was quiet, except for my music that played. Our kids were busy in other rooms of our house. I had been doing dishes, as my husband folded the laundry. I walked over to him and asked him for a dance. So, there we were slow dancing in our living room. It was an unexpected…

My youngest son baked some delicious chocolate chip cookies the other day. He read the recipe, followed its instructions and even did the math to double the recipe. Though I was present to oversee him, these cookies were made by him. The cookies he made had turned out wonderful, and I was proud of him!…
