New Verse
Posted by Michelle under: Scripture Memory.
We introduced Hebrews 13:5 and Psalm 56:33 as part of teaching David to learn how to deal with fear. I’d also like to teach him the song “God Is Always Near Me” by Philip Bliss as part of this “lesson.” I’ve sung it a few times for him (It’s in Hymns of Grace and Glory [...]

positive or negative?
Posted by Michelle under: Lying; Scripture Memory.
If you were going to teach your young child what truth is, and what God thinks of it, would you teach the first part of Proverbs 12:22 or the second?
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
The second half of this verse David and I talked about yesterday. [...]

Evening Observations:

The Great Imitators
Posted by Michelle under: Prayer.
What do my children imitate in me?
expressions, verbal clutter, mannerisms, habits (good and bad), food tastes, and many other things I’m sure we could identify.
Today we went to the dry cleaners. I needed to get a suit of Lee’s cleaned for his graduation on Thursday (and inspection on Wednesday). We realized on Sunday that there [...]

Posted by Michelle under: Family Devotions; Introspection; Military Life; Mom Time.
I thought of all you pilot wives whose husbands are gone for a few weeks and then come home. By the end of last week, I could tell they were ready to see their dad. Was it some new phase that David was going through where he really didn’t want to be cooperative in ANYTHING? [...]
