Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; It's leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." Jeremiah 17:7-8
Who are you trusting today? Who holds your confidence? Is it in your family, a job, a house, friends? Those things can go away, but when we place our hope in Jesus, tough times can come, but we will be able to stand because we are deeply rooted in Him.

Are the Dishes Clean or Dirty?
After sharing about emptying dirty dishes from the dishwasher thinking they were clean, I wanted to pass on this great idea I found from www.thriftyfun.com.
"Is the family always asking if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty? Here's an easy method for them to know. I fill the dishwasher's soap dispenser whenever I place dirty dishes in the dishwasher, even if it's not full enough to run. If the soap dispenser is filled, the dishes are dirty. If the dispenser door is open or empty, the dishes are clean and ready to use or put away." By Cheryl from Missouri
5 Ways to Grow Deep Roots in Your Kids
-
Spend time with them at night. Seems kids are more open to talk at bedtime no matter their age.
-
Eat dinner together as much as possible.
-
Read and discuss a short section of scripture.
-
Help kids handle relational issues by getting them to think about how the other person feels, or because Jesus is our model, decide what He would do in this situation.
-
Have fun with your kids. Laugh with (not at) them. Wrestle, tickle, snuggle - play.
By incorporating simple things like the ideas above, you are giving your children the foundation of confidence they need to stand when things get tough.
