I have this friend (no, really I do!) who is struggling in her relationship with her husband. He’s not an ax-murderer or an adulterer, so she can’t just walk away. Nor would she want to. He’s a good man, but they’re not seeing eye-to-eye right now on a few dozen issues.

My granddaughter (6) spent the Sunday morning worship service on my lap instead of in her children&#8217;s church service that day a couple of years ago. A dozen excuses seemed to boil down to the fact that she just needed to be close to me for a while. Seemed a good enough [...]]]></description>

As I observed my daughter and nephew molding the wet Atlantic sand of a Florida beach, I felt something rare and wonderful. These two sand-lovers dug holes that quickly collapsed when water broke through their gritty walls, and they erected castles that were as much fun to tear down as they were [...]]]></description>

If you’ve ever raised children, then you know that each child is different. Having four, I’ve seen many traits in their personalities—the complainer, the stubborn, the verbal, the compliant, the obedient, the one who ignores—to name a few. Each child responds differently to correction. Upon giving discipline, I’ve seen my daughter (at [...]]]></description>

My plan was straightforward, equitable and reasonable—I thought. My twelve-year-old would spend one-half hour each day practicing his trombone, and sixty minutes daily (Monday – Friday) reading a book of his choosing. His eight-year-old sister would dedicate one-half  hour each on multiplication tables, reading and writing a paragraph. The tracking chart was [...]]]></description>

Few things warm a parent’s or grandparent’s heart like hearing a little child’s innocent and uninhibited prayers.The other day, four-year-old Hannah asked if she could offer thanks for the table meal. She started out traditionally, “Thank You, Jesus, for this good day.”
Then the prayer took an unexpected twist. “Thank You for this [...]]]></description>

At the park across the street from my house, a two-year-old boy disappeared from a softball game. I joined the search party with fifty other people, half a dozen squad cars, and a helicopter. We looked everywhere a two-year-old might wander in the darkness.As the helicopter searchlight beamed through the trees, police [...]]]></description>

Having just moved into our new home, I have selected a place of honor for one of our heirlooms. It is a framed charcoal drawing of one of my husband’s ancestors. The name on the back of the picture is James Spilvin Willis. The rendering of Great-great-grandfather Willis reminds me of [...]]]></description>

A few years ago, I felt imprisoned by my own negative feelings during the long winter days. I struggled with feelings of depression. I’m not sure I was depressed by any doctor’s standards, but I was feeling underappreciated, underpaid as a full time stay-at-home mom, and discouraged and was wondering if I [...]]]></description>
