Oh Jen, your comment means the WORLD to me!! I just love that you find value in my words and my message- oh, how I am so honored that you do!!! XOXO
I just got a chancd to read all of this. Absolutely true. I pray with both of my children before school, too. Especially for their protection. This world is too dangerous not to do this! And what a blessing to talk with our Lord each morning and also to teach our kids how vital it is to come to Him. I also have Psalm 91 written on paper and placed under their mattresses as protection and peace wwhile they sleep. If you haven’t read Stormie Omartins Power of the Praying Parent, I urge you to pick it up. So importamt to cover so many areas of our children’s lives in prayer. Another beautiful post, and I hope you’ve had a great birthday! Sorry for tge typos….I’m on my phone!
I LOVE Stormie’s Power of the Praying Parent!! And wife… they are a valuable resource for us all in the power of prayer!! I am going to go find Psalm 91 now!!!
It means the WORLD to me that you share your ideas and your beautiful heart here, Susannah!! Brains, beauty AND FAITH!!! Lets add humor to that list too!! Ah yes- you ROCK the humor girl! I adore all these qualities in you. You are the “package”. 🙂

If I’m correct…you LOOK FABULOUS!! 😀
