You should behave . . . like God’s very own children, adopted into his family—calling him “Father, dear Father.” Romans 8:15 (NLT)

Do you realize what those words mean? You, dear one, were up for adoption, and God the Father chose you to be in his family. God the Father chose you to be his child. What a sweet truth to realize that you are a chosen, deeply valued treasure to the God of the universe. He wants to adopt you! But unlike most adoptions, you have a choice in deciding whether you want to be adopted.

Let’s assume wisdom guides your choice and you decide you want to be adopted. What do you do? What do you say? How do you close the deal? Let me suggest you simply tell the Father, through Jesus, you want to be in the family. Read more....

Breakfast is the perfect time to show our love. We can brighten a face or calm a fear with some simple food and a few kind words at the start of the day. Trust me, I have seen it work. I believe in the power of a nice cooked meal first thing in the morning.

Try it! Prepare a simple breakfast, sit down with your loved ones, and share. Talk to each other, pass the plates, give hugs, give kisses, and prepare yourself for the day ahead. Everyone knows how fast the world moves once we walk out that door. Enjoying breakfast - really enjoying the food and the company- can do wonders for everyone’s peace of mind.

Through my years of traveling I have met thousands and thousands of women. In each of the main cities on our calendar, there are a few faces I have gotten to know more than others. I see them every trip. We have a quick catch up in my book line, a hug, and an exchange of photographs of our children or a quick prayer. There are four people I have become especially close to. We write to each other at least one a week. These four are a mother and daughter, and a mother and son. Rosanna and Sarah, and Karen and Eric.

Sarah’s disability has her confined to a wheelchair, and Eric has Down syndrome. I have learned a lot from both families.
