How does your family commemorate Memorial Day? It is so easy to let this day pass as merely a three day weekend full of barbeques and time by the pool, but taking time to pause and reflect is important and meaningful. Here are some practical ways to share the reason for Memorial Day with your children.
Fear and anxiety can grip all of us, even our children. What can you do as a mom to comfort your kids and help them to trust God in their worry and circumstance? This is a great way to approach your child's heart and fill them with the truth of God's word.
This morning our six year old made herself some toast, buttered it, cut it into tiny squares with kitchen scissors, dolloped it with maple syrup and then poured herself a large glass of milk... that she accidentally knocked into the corner of the table as she carried it over and everything proceeded to splatter onto the floor in a sticky, soggy mess.
Now, often, this would have been an internal battle for me not to get angry. My first response is not always one of calm and reassurance when a mess is created...
This past Thanksgiving our oldest child had a strange episode of double vision and dizziness. At first we weren't too concerned. But after it happened three more times at school, I gave in and googled the symptoms. And the worry started to creep in.
By the time you read this, December will be a reality. And some of you will have presents wrapped, decorations up, and sugar cookies in the freezer. Others of you will still have pumpkins and an inflatable turkey on your front porch. Regardless, the official season of Advent will have already started because it starts in November this year, which always catches me a little off guard.
I fall somewhere in the middle of that spectrum.
Frustrated.
That's how I felt.
I wrote this article for the first time earlier today. And it took me nearly two hours.
And then my computer froze and the dreaded-dread-thing happened. I had to restart the computer and when I returned to the article everything was blank.
Gone.
