Advice isn’t always well received, is it? All of the articles I’m sharing this week give solid advice or insights that I’ve needed at one time in my life….or now. I hope some of it is a blessing to you.

Like most summers, we have been on the road a fair amount the past couple of months. Between camps, conferences and such, I have felt a bit scattered at times (more than usual, I mean). 🙂
So it should make sense that I’ve been reading things all over the map lately, too, right? This week I’m sharing articles about marriage, parenting, Christian living, and more. All of them struck a chord with me in some way. I hope you find something that speaks to you as well! Blessings, friends.

Parenting is one of those topics that you just can’t read enough about. Not that you’re usually seeing new or revolutionary information. But the nature of humanity is to forget. Reminders about parenting priorities, methods, ideas and practices are important…I’d even say necessary…in making us the best parents we can be.

Food for Thought #35
We did an activity in a class at church not too long ago in which we looked at a page of motivational and inspiring quotes. As we read through them, we examined if they reflected Biblical wisdom. I’m sure you’re not surprised to hear, most did not. It’s no shock to say that our feelings do not mirror truth a whole lot of the time. God’s wisdom almost always runs counter to what feels right to our fallen human hearts.
So whatever you’re reading, take the time to compare what feels right to what the Bible says is right.
