Grateful for Gratitude

When we first moved from Florida, I was having a pretty rough time adjusting. Now, don’t get me wrong – I was super excited to be near family and so grateful to see them more regularly. But, come on – we moved from Florida to Wisconsin – in January!!! (I’m going to give you a minute to let that soak in…)

Again, it was all God’s perfect timing, but my clock really wasn’t in sync with His at the time. At times, it was a real struggle for me to adjust to all of the changes and to honestly accept what was happening in our lives – let alone be grateful for them.

Some of you have probably been wondering about the weekly updates (or lack thereof) for our Family Meetings. Well, I am going to ask you to refer to the tagline of this site, Our family’s journey to find faith and joy. (Emphasis on the word, journey.)

Like everyone else, we were busier and had more abbreviated Family Meetings lately. Some were held in the car; others, over dinner. Did we talk as a family? Absolutely. Were they effective? Not so much…

A Helping Hand When We Fail and Fall

I took my children and two of their friends roller skating the other day. I wasn’t feeling like showing off my mad skills, (and totally embarrassing my children), so I just sat and watched.

There was no school that day, so there were quite a few families at the rink. As I sat, surrounded by skaters of all ages, I was completely mesmerized for a bit. They just kept going around and around… And then, I started really looking at the skaters.

A Father’s Rules

I remember when I was teaching in Minnesota, I had an 8^th grader named, Ashley. She was a girl who would dress all in black – down to her eyeliner and nail polish. If I would have met her when I was in middle school, I would have been completely intimidated by her. Ashley came off as one of the most confident and self-assured girls in all of eighth grade.

Date Your Spouse

How often do you date your spouse?

This question really got me. Every time I saw my doctor, she would ask how Brad’s and my dates were going. (And this came before all the other seemingly medically pertinent questions!)

But that wasn’t even the best part. She actually threw in the word – weekly. There were many times I just laughed.
