      The Unsung Christian Hero: Dad! Yesterday, I had a emergency church board meeting that I had to attend. The topic of which was going to be a very challenging subject and one that no one was wanting to address. Since I am a part of the church board, it meant all the sudden my husband had to take on all the responsibilities of cleaning up the kids’ supper messes, bathing, jammies, story times, and tucking kids in by himself. This after he had been up since 5 that morning and done a full, long day of work. Normally, we do the bedtime routine together and it takes half the…

      There are rare moments when all the laundry in my house is completely caught up. While I get a quick sense of glee over this fact, it is not the most joy-filled moment of my day.     Sometimes my counters can actually be found clean of all snack and meal debris and the sink does not have a single dirty dish in it. As a person who values a clean kitchen and dining area, I get a sense of satisfaction from the sight. However, this is not the most joy-filled moment of my day.     Once a week, I enjoy stepping back and admiring my freshly cleaned…

Piles of leaves that I would stomp through for hours on end! (This one has lost some of the enchantment now that I am an adult in charge of the raking rather than just a cute little “helper.” :)) Although now I delight in watching my kids and dog carry on the tradition! And most of all, the change of pace. We would slow down from the busy planting and harvesting seasons on…
