Teaching kids the habit of happiness
I find myself getting irritated at my daughter for being so whiny over things I find to be insignificant. She gets a lot of time-outs for whining. But if I’m honest with myself, she learned it from somewhere. Part of it is good, old-fashioned sinful nature, but a lot of it is from me. We […]
Why your kids listen to your husband but not you
Am I the only mom that struggles with this? For example, it takes me around an hour of begging and threatening to get my toddler to go to bed (he finds this whole process hilarious), but my husband gets him to sleep in minutes. I often have to tell my six-year-old several times to do […]

The one trick that might help you beat anxiety and depression
Anxiety and depression can really destroy your happiness.

Praying for your miracle
I received an email from a family friend who has a son with special needs and other medical conditions. Different Christian families might have a different approach to this situation, but this family has decided to pray and believe God for their son’s complete healing. I want to share his words because I think they […]
