"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
Colossians 3:12-14
Introducing: Momsforfamilytv.com
Their goal, to bring family movie night back to TV with movies truly appropriate for families. Tonight's feature:
The Jensen Project.
Summer Goes On...And as it does, the kids can get more irritable with each passing day. If you can relate, and could use some encouragement, check out our blog.
There is a great scripture suggestion for your family to memorize or read together for several days to help you refocus.
After all, we want to make the most of the summer, not just endure it.
Delightful Dad Contest...Drumroll please...
We received some great dad stories. We are thrilled to share some of them with you for the next few weeks on our blog leading up to the grand prize winner.
Our goal in posting these amazing dad stories is not for us as moms to compare our husbands to these men, but to brag on the great job of so many dads. Society has worked hard to tear men down, especially in the eyes of women. We want to shout out that we are proud of the men that God has placed in our lives and applaud them for the many jobs they do. Way to go dads!
Have you downloaded our songs from itunes? Now is a great time! So, load us on your iPod or iPhone today! (Or if you're like us, you can still purchase the CD for some day-to-day encouragement.)
Before you leave our site, don't miss the opportunity to begin receiving our free monthly Mom-e-Moment. If you're not signed up to receive it, click here. And for some mom encouragement, consider our music or books—great for individuals or a group study with other moms.
We look forward to hearing from you!
And please, feel free to contact us from the "Your Turn" menu—just to talk or to get information about hosting a Mom and Loving It! conference in your area.
Watch "The Jensen Project" on Friday, July 16th, on NBC
It's "family-friendly"!
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.
