I recall reading, in the not-too-distant-past, a blog post about how women are supposed to be the “Keepers of Memories” in the home. At the time, I chuckled to myself and kind of brushed off the importance of this aspect of home-keeping, because I’m so bad at it. We’re on our eighth child and my…

Doing the “Hard Things” in Parenting
Some things are easy and some are hard. There are things that come naturally and things that don’t. Another way of saying it is that we are gifted in certain areas, and others…not. Seems obvious, no? But one thing that I constantly have to remind myself of, is that when we do the hard things,…
“Practicing Hospitality”
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

As I write this, it’s been almost a month since my husband surprised me with a challenge: I want you to stop buying groceries. Let’s use up the food we have in storage and eat from the garden until we leave in February. What?! I’m sure most of you are unaware that our family of…
