A Heart to Serve

There were many times when my children were very young, and I was walking the untrodden path of a first generation Christian mother, making choices that extended family considered to be nuts (or worse), that I spent time lying in bed awake at night, wondering if all of this labor was in vain.

Spicy Overnight Cinnamon Rolls

A special tradition we have in our family is to make the birthday girl or boy breakfast in bed on their birthday.

Five years ago, after about five year’s worth of pay cuts and financial hardship, my husband was offered a much better job, with much better pay. We were thrilled. The new boss was very friendly and wanted to talk with me as well as my husband as he explained the benefits package and pay. I…
