Heart of a Family for Mom, Common Sense Parenting with Wisdom from the Word

Common Sense Parenting with Wisdom from the Word
Forward from the book.
      This book was written to give you help and hope with the
awesome task of raising healthy, confident, respectful children.
I pray that God will provide you with all that you need
—all the courage, wisdom, strength, and faith to teach and
train your children in the way that He wants them to go.
      As a family therapist and parenting educator, I have spent
thousands of hours with parents like you—moms who are putting
lots of energy, enormous amounts of time and immeasurable
periods of prayer into raising your kids. I don’t know how
you do it, but I can’t imagine you being successful doing this
big job without God’s help!
     Heart of a Family for Mom is written just for you at this
stage of your life. It is full of information to help you with the
important task of building a healthy family. However, my hope
is that the most valuable part of the book will be the inspiring
Words from God which are the focus of each day’s devotional
message.
     I am a mom and a grandmother, and this book was written
from my heart. As a woman who knows first hand the perplexing
problems which spring up daily as you parent toddlers,
tweens and teens, I know that without God’s wisdom and instructions
being routinely funneled into my head, I would have
many more regrets than I do about my parenting decisions and
direction.
     I hope that the common sense parenting tips are truly practical
and useful. Use this book as a parenting manual to rely on.
And use this book also as a reference to the many instructions
that our Heavenly Father has given us in His Book.
Blessings,
Joneal Kirby

YOU Can Do Anything!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You’re on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.

You recognize that beloved - and one of my favorite - Dr. Seuss's poem from the book "Oh the Places You Will Go!"
I like it so much, I think, because I am one of those people who truly believe that there is nothing that I cannot do. If I want to do it bad enough.
That is one of the reasons that I love Philippians 4:13. God says that when when I am a team with Him, there REALLY isn't anything that we can't do.

Today, go make a difference. Be a blessing to someone. Right a wrong.
Or just change the world.

You can do anything.

"I can do all things through Christ, who is my strength." Phil. 4:13

Blessings,
