As a parent, one of the things we should strive for is to protect our children’s hearts. For me as a pastor, I am continually asking God to move my children forward in their faith, and to make it personal for them and not merely an extension of being a “preacher’s kid”. There [...]

Written by: Cindi Ferrini | Found in: Other, Parenting, Special Needs |
As a young mom, I longed for some me time, some free time at the end of a day. Raising a son with special needs and two daughters was a 24/7 kind of job….like every mom! There’s no vacation on vacation, there’s no pats on the back from the children in those early years. Yet, [...]

A couple mornings ago, I woke up with a sweet face just inches from mine. “It’s raining, mama.” She whispered. I had been lying there with eyes closed for some time listening to the rain fall. Call me crazy, but I love a rainy day. “Can we go out on the deck and play in it?” She [...]

Written by: Darcy Kimmel | Found in: Love, Darcy, Parenting |

It seems that school ramps up exponentially because anything and everything that has not gotten done needs to get done – from assignments to field trips!
