Reposting from my own archives: When Luke Raised His Hand
The post that follows is something I wrote a few years ago, as I was remembering the events in our family in December of 2008. Luke was three and a half, and we didn’t know we were going to have Anna yet! I’ve edited it a bit so it makes more sense in the details, but […]
More Wisdom From My Kids
I am utterly amazed at the ways in which God has worked change and growth in my heart, via lessons I’ve learned from observing my children. Usually, the first time around, I’ll think, “wow, I hope L. and A. really ‘get it’ next time and learn from that mistake”. After letting an incident steep in […]
A Gentle Answer
As is usually the case, the verses V. read to us tonight as a family were very fitting for the week I’ve been having: “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.” These wise words come […]
Search Me, God…
L. stayed home from school yesterday, though not with strep! That alone might warrant its own blog post later. My mom played with A. nearly all day so I could care for L. and take him to see the pediatrician. My dear mom even got little A. to take a nap under her watch, so […]
Love One Another
My son was working on a take-home sheet from his Sunday School class yesterday morning after breakfast. There were a few things to read, a few things to think about, and a few questions to answer. One of the passages was from 1 John in the Bible, where there is much about loving one another: […]
Plans
“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” These words come from the Biblical prophet Jeremiah, and they were the words God gave to him to speak to the Israelites when they were in […]
Contentment
“Peaceful satisfaction”. That is the definition in a student dictionary of the word “contentment”. Contentment has come up in front of me three different times today. I figured that warranted digging a bit deeper and giving it some earnest thought. The first mention of contentment came from the daily devotional on my iPhone’s Bible app […]
Being Super
My husband has learned about medical conditions and procedures that I can barely understand or pronounce. He has memorized volumes about the human body and especially the parts he focuses on for his specialty. What I find equally amazing, and perhaps even more so, is how he has learned to make the transition from work […]
Stop Waiting and Keep Going
I haven’t written anything specifically about being a doctor’s wife not because I have nothing to say but because there is so much. My husband and I started dating even before he was certain he was going into medicine–almost 13 years ago to the day. To say there have been rich life experiences, periods of […]
Nourish Our Bodies
As a mommy to young children, I put a great deal of effort into keeping my family healthy and fed. Every week, I select good foods that they will enjoy but that will help them grow and be strong. There is the timing of the food to consider, as well–eat too close to a meal […]
