Written by Starla, Contributing Writer It's important to seek God first in all we do. I enjoy the fact that God gives us best friends, because there is nothing better than a girls day out luncheon. Time alone with my best friend, lunch and hot tea. They are far and few between, so I cherish each of those moments. It's a time to talk, laugh and encourage one another. During my daily bible reading and prayer time this morning, I was brought to Psalm 19:14. "Let the words of my mouth … [Read more...]

Leading Little Ones To Love God’s Word
July 21, 2014 By
Written by Contributing Writer, Kelly @ Eyes On The Source In a recent series at church, our pastor taught on the greatest gift we can bestow upon our children..."The Blessing."

What followed was passage after passage about the hope that we have when dealing with discouragement! photo credit So many of the … [Read more...]

May 2, 2012 By
Written by Jenn, Contributing Writer Do you ever feel as though your children are a burden? That they are keeping you from doing the many things you used to do before you were a mother? Do you ever ponder how much free time you'd have if you didn't have kids (although you'd probably fill it up with something else)? photo credit As Mother's Day approaches, we see plenty of Hallmark cards thanking us moms for all the sacrifices we make and the love we give to our children.
