Please Pray for Jonah's Mom

In today’s Coffee Talk discussion, a mom named Ashley shared a link to her heartbreaking story of the unexpected death of her infant son Jonah last week.

I know the faithful community of moms here will not fail to hold this family—and especially his mom Ashley—in prayer during this time of mourning. Jonah is in good hands, but his grieving family needs our love and support.

“I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord.”
—Psalm 121


Mom, I'm Bored!

What to do, what to do

Let’s have a little contest called “Mothers Helping Mothers.”

It goes like this. I say, “Mom I’m Bored,” and you give one or two of your favorite responses to that statement.

Of course, practically speaking I think it’s up to the child to figure out how to entertain himself. As my mother always told us, “I’m not a cruise director!” Kids are smart. They can find things to do.

But it’s also nice, at... READ MORE

Isn't Daddy Great?

My kids and I agree

For me, this is one of the cool things about having children: my kids are small, new-ish people… who think my husband is all kinds of awesome. Just like I do.

The gifts of family life keep on giving. I love that my husband comes home each evening and is fascinated by all my stories about things the kids did that day. Even the most well-meaning grandparent can’t sustain that kind of enthusiasm forever... READ MORE
