DON’T HIDE THOSE TEARS!

July 28, 2012 By Kathie Leave a Comment

Tears are a wonderful thing!  They are an overflow of what the heart is feeling, whether it be joy, sadness, comfort, or pain.  Why are we ashamed of our tears?!  Tears show that we are alive emotionally and can be touched and moved. Church is one place where our hearts are often touched by encouraging, comforting words and songs that… Read More

A Place Only You Can Fill!

June 6, 2012 By Kathie Leave a Comment

I’m in Naperville, IL tonight for the ICHE convention, where I will be speaking over the next 3 days.  Tonight my son Mark, who is along as my helper, attended the speaker’s dinner with me.  We walked into the banquet room, not seeing anyone we knew, and chose a table to sit at.  Before long, the room was filled, as… Read More

Please Take Time

May 21, 2012 By Kathie 4 Comments

Years ago my children sang this song at a conference that I was speaking at. What a great reminder to make time for our children! Mom and Dad, I know you hurry through each day of work and worry But this is a reminder that I bring; Just a little time I’m small, seems like hardly any time at all,… Read More

My Hero (a.k.a. Momsie)

May 13, 2012 By Kathie Leave a Comment

This is a “guest post”, written by my oldest daughter, Joy.  I am not sharing this in an effort to brag on myself, or bring glory to me.  Instead, I share it to bring encouragement to all the moms out there who work so hard, but like me, might be tired.  Don’t give up!  Stick with your calling – there… Read More

The Power of a Godly Life

The Power of a Godly Life

May 6, 2012 By Kathie 2 Comments

What a great poem and reminder about the power of our example as parents! I’d rather see a sermon, Than hear one any day; I’d rather one would walk with me, Than merely show the way. The eye’s a better pupil, And more willing than the ear; Mankind’s always confusing, But example’s always clear. And the best of all the… Read More

How to Follow God’s Prompting When Praying For Your Child

How to Follow God’s Prompting When Praying For Your Child

March 31, 2012 By Kathie 4 Comments

Praying for our children is probably the most important thing we can do as parents. Tonight, as I was busy trying to finish many things on my rather LONG “to do” list, I suddenly felt a prompting from the Lord.  He brought to mind my son Mike, who is in the Philippines as a missionary with his wife, and family….

Just Friends: Guarding Your Heart for a Wonderful Someday

March 15, 2012 By Kathie Leave a Comment

What is this thing between guys and girls? Do we call it Dating? Attraction? Interest? We all know it’s there, but no one really knows what to call it, and for some strange reason everyone is afraid to talk about it! So what do you call it? You’ve probably said it. “We’re just friends!” Sometimes you mean it; sometimes you… Read More
