Kids can be a pain in the neck when they're not a lump in your throat.

We can choose to gather to our hearts the thorns of disappointment, failure, loneliness, and dismay in our present situation. Or we can gather the flowers of God's grace, boundless love, abiding presence, and unmatched joy. I choose to gather the flowers.

As you're rushing through life, take time to stop a moment, look into people's eyes, say something kind, and try to make them laugh!

Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness.

Motherhood: if it were going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labor.

No one likes change... but babies in diapers.

We cannot protect ourselves from trouble, but we can dance through the puddles of life with a rainbow smile, twirling the only umbrella we need -- the umbrella of God's love.
