The reason for the blog is to keep an open communication with our parents. We strive to do the absolute best for Jesus and for your children. Sometimes we fall short and we don't always measure up, but we know that Jesus will forgive us, will you if we mess up?

Words of Wisdom
Time:
Control it or it will control you. That sounds straight forward and simple enough. But in reality it is demanding and complex. Is it really possible to control your time with 24 hours in a day, you may sleep 8 of those hours and 9 of those hours or so are spent at work, that leaves you not a whole lot of investment time for your family. Spending the time with your family is your greatest investment, it is never forgotten. Children remember the lack of, not the most of. They remember the bad times and not always the great times.
Where can you spend your time this week? A great way to spend time is to open the Word of God, the Bible with your children, read about Ruth - it is a short book about 4 chapters long, and discover the time Naomi and Ruth spent together. Or read one one of the smaller letters to the churches, they have a lot of instruction in them that is useful for knowing what is true. The Christian Book store has some great family devotionals. Sit after dinner or in the car before you arrive at your destination and listen to your children, they are pretty incredible!
Jesus loves you so much that He was sent for you!
