This is how I feel when I come across gems like this!


We Live By…Faith. “It’s in the hard places in life, the moments of inconvenience, obscurity, unpopularity, and trials that LOVE makes itself known… and shown.”

The greatest way we can teach peace is to lead by example. The best way to lead by example is to live by example. And the best way to live by example is to “love by example”-@OphelliaMcknight Xo #liveoutloudeveryday #youmatter Photo credit: via @Pinterest

Ed Catmull of @pixar once said, “Art is learning how to see.” I think HEART is learning how to see…seeing what truly matters. Today, may your eyes and heart be flooded with moments that you want to savour and remember for a lifetime.

2. Berenstain Bears #bookreview

I grew up reading The Berenstain Bears book so when I had the opportunity to read “School Time Blessings,” I thought, “why not?”

When you read a lot of non-kids books, it’s always nice to switch it up and read something written for a little one. This book is full of colourful illustrations and like all Berenstain Bears books, has some sort of lesson attached to it. In this book, the children are facing a bit of worry and anxiety as they head back to school and mama and papa bear offer them love and guidance. In this particular book, scriptures from the Bible are shared and the kids are introduced to the notion of God. God as a source of guidance, comfort, and love. They remind the children the power of prayer and lead by example as they pray as a family.

The story is cute. I found it a little cheesy but that’s just me. The overall message of the book was sweet and if anything, it’s a reminder to you and I that worry and anxiety do not have to rule our lives. God can:)

*Special shout out to Zondervan for helping me relive my childhood.
