People were bringing little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, He was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them and blessed them. - Mark 10:13-16

Good morning! Don't you just love those mornings where odd things happen?! Or you're the one doing odd things. I forgot to rinse the conditioner out of my hair. Realized this after I was dressed and ready to start my day. I'm still in a good mood 😃 Even though the twins birthday was yesterday and I haven't made their cakes yet. Even though the yearbook is supposed to be done today and I suspect some don't like my contributions. Even though I desperately want to get to cleaning/purging/organizing but I have to hold off because of prior commitments. Even though I find the new soap's scent repulsive. Even though I need to weed some areas but it's been raining for the last several days. Even though the youngest are running around the house, laughing hysterically in between moments of tattling and bickering. Even though the teens are moody, dragging their feet on some stuff. Even though I cannot find some options that will help Felix with his ringing/buzzing/hearing loss, his imbalance and his neuropathy. Even though. Even though the world is on fire and too many people are suffering. Even though it feels like the Bad Guys are winning. Even though it seems like us Little Guys can't catch a break. Even though we have bills we don't how we're going to pay, obligations we don't know how we'll meet, family who frustrate us. Even though. Jesus is our Even Though. Have a beautiful Friday.

👆🏻 I was vacuuming our floors, and before some of the smaller toys had a chance to be sucked into the dusty vortex of the machine, I asked my littlest to remove them from the path. She did. A few minutes later, I made my way over to the kitchen. The Mr Potato items were now on the kitchen floor. Pretty confident that an actual tornado hadn’t whirled through the home uplifting them from one area to another, I was just about to call for Child Number Four to remove them off the floor. Before I even had the chance to draw a deep breath to project my voice over the noise of the vacuum, I was wowed by an insight the Holy Spirit gifted me. Gobsmacked, I stood there staring at the toys. And realized I was staring at my prayers, my time, my praise with God. How many times have I gone before the Lord only to stop mid-sentence to take care of something, to pursue a wandering thought, or to investigate crying, bickering or screaming kids? And I didn’t return. Just left my intentions, my hopes, my requests, my worship right there. Right where I was last seen having alone time with the Lord. I wonder how that makes Him feel. I know how that feels. One more reason why our Most High is worth every effort we make to connect with Him. Because His grace covers the ungraciousness of us walking away from Him mid-sentence, mid-thought. He is a good, good Father.

Y'all, God has been putting something on my heart that I need to do regarding Telegram content. The idea started as a teeny-tiny seed so many months ago. It seemed to be germinating for so long that I was surprised when I woke up one morning recently to God telling me that it's at the ripening stage. Have I been that pre-occupied, living such a cluttered life that I missed the little seedling budding? Obeying God is important to me, and I want to be sure that I am following His direction, not doing what I want. A little more deliberate prayer on my end then some time at the keyboard to see how the Holy Spirit moves. Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.

Hello Friends! I came across this years ago and knew I needed to print, laminate then put up on our refrigerator. Right next to where we fill our water. For my kids. To see every day. Little did I know how much I needed this as well. The last two days this advice has been looping through my mind on repeat 👇🏻

Hope everyone has a most delightful, productive, relaxing weekend! May it be full of laughter and love. Just a friendly reminder that I am posting a ruse for the bots and paid agitators. I plan to leave this up over the weekend. Please feel free to hop into the chat area to share what's on your mind, make prayer requests or leave something for us to giggle over! It will have no bearing on the bot trap if you post in the TM Chat. Thank YOU to all the admins who help make this a pretty nifty place to connect with others. Plus zapping the spam humors my OCD side 😃 Y'all are awesome and I do appreciate you ❤️ The Bot Snare™ incoming 👇🏻

Please share uplifting stories, pictures and memes 🤍

I firmly believe that the clutter of stuff, the clutter of schedules, the clutter of unforgiveness, the clutter of unfinished things, the clutter of emotions can impede us from moving closer to our Beautiful Creator.

Hello friends! My focus has been elsewhere so there will not be a good news drops tomorrow. Instead, I thought we could have a “Faith In Humanity” post. So gather the cool stories, memes and pictures to share for Friday. Next week I’ll post some what I hope are encouraging items. Another head’s up: I think on Friday evening I will post a ruse for the bots, leaving it up over the weekend. Please do not comment in that post as we want to root out the bots! No worries –it’ll be an obvious post 😁 Still working on the homeschool yearbook. In between, I’ve been cleaning, purging, organizing. As some of you know firsthand, doing this can be quite therapeutic. I encourage you to find something to work on as it really does bring about some peace. And we all need a little bit of this right now. The twins are starting high school this fall and their* summertime goal is to read classic literature. My summertime plans (which have been two years in the making) involve cleaning out my side of the office. And that area is a yikes with a capital exclamation point. I’ve made significant progress throughout the home, but this is one area that… makes me want to hide with a plate of cookies. I’ll post some pics so you can verify that I am indeed a humble mom, who is actively working on Less Is More. *by "their" I mean my plans for them
