Little Mama Homemaker

This exact same week one year ago was the first time we walked into this church. Over the past year I have been in complete awe of all that the Lord has done. The ways that our family has grown in a way that our primary focus is not success or achievement but glorifying God, is such a testament to His sanctifying work and not ourselves. Friends and community that have become a family have loved us and encouraged us while also pushing us through hard things has filled a hole in my own life that I felt so deeply. It’s been such a privilege and honor to be involved in serving the church alongside so many selfless people that gives us such a sweet picture of sacrificial love. Yesterday we celebrated a name change that mirrors a church that is intentional about preaching the gospel and loving others as Christ loved us and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of Risen Church and to watch how God is made much of.

I pray that for however long they are in our homes, we would enjoy our children.

Right now is the time to connect with them.

Engage with them, look them in the eyes and have a conversation.

Play what they enjoy and learn something new FROM THEM.

No matter how old they are, read a book with them. At this point start a whole series of books!

Ask questions. We may all be sick of talking about the news, but we ARE talking about it, so ask them how they feel. Comfort them and don’t dismiss their fears. Don’t be afraid to be honest and vulnerable with your children. Remind them that you don’t hold all the answers, and you may be concerned too, but our security and comfort lies in God.

Let’s not get years down the line and wonder how our kids got to where they are, because we haven’t fully known them.

Be their safe place.

Take this OPPORTUNITY to be present, love and enjoy your family. Pray WITH them as you pray FOR them.
