Save, Guide, Love the Children

A series of children's hands raised to ask a question.

When my children were 6, 4, and 2 years old, I taught them Psalm 1. They memorized it together one summer, and we repeated it often so it would be embedded in their hearts. I drew pictures of the passage on poster boards since the youngest could not read yet and we did this every morning before play and after breakfast...

Joy Comes in the Morning

The word "joy".

Next to him was Jan Cohen, Steve’s late wife and Micha’s mother. She was tugging on Yeshua’s robe saying, “let me go get him, let me go get him”...
