The Power of a Parent’s Blessing
This is a powerful message for all parents. Blessing your children and speaking life into them while they are growing up should be mandatory.

Frustration Turned Around
I had been frustrated and stressed out for awhile. I literally couldn’t think straight. I couldn’t focus. It was getting to the point where I just wanted to stay in bed, even though I couldn’t. I kept complaining about how I felt. I told God I just needed a break so I kept trying to […]

Being a parent carry a great responsibility. Our basic tasks are to feed, clothed, shelter, and protect our children. However, I would like to add one more basic task to the list. That is, to tell our children what God has done for us. It is imperative that children learn how God has worked is […]
My Grandson, a Gift from God
On June 21, 2010 I was telling my friend that I missed my grandson. I don’t get to see him like I did when he lived with me. I’m always wondering what he is doing. He will be one-year-old next week, yet he has more common sense than an adult. He is so smart. When […]
