Teach Thankfulness with A Thanksgiving Tablecloth – 30 Days of Fall Devotions

Any mom worth her weight in diapers knows the first words we teach our child are thank you. I can still see my chubby toddlers taking cookies from the hand of their great-grandma and quickly walking away. No matter which child it was, they were NOT predisposed to use the two words we'd rehearsed for months. I'd scoop each one up and bring them … [Read more...]

"Look both ways before crossing the street." "Eat your carrots." "Did you say thank you?" I've said these words more than I care to admit.

The Fragrance of Fall – 30 Days of Fall Devotions

Fall. It's a season that colors the world and has a smell all its own. The fragrance of fall  is an intoxicating mix of simmering cinnamon sticks and cloves on my stovetop, or the heady scent of bubbling apple cobbler baking. My sister, Amy, was visiting a few weeks ago and we were browsing through boutiques downtown when I handed her a yummy … [Read more...]
