Lord, Help her to continue to be a Blessing to others

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
I am in awe of my daughter tonight!  I felt blessed as she started her prayers which then made for a lot of questions and answers to follow.  I am so thankful for her big heart and her love to listen and hear from Jesus. 

So her prayers went a little something like this:

Dear Jesus,
I am so happy I listened to you on how to help my friend N. on the bus today.  The boys were mean but I was a good friend and I helped her when she was crying.  I like it when you help me be the best friend I can be.  Lord, can you help J. and A. be nice friends with us?  I want to help more of my friends so please help me do that.  

(She continued on for a few minutes more repeating and rephrasing some of the same things.)  My heart was so proud of her but my prayer for her is to be a blessing to others.  How often do we pray for our children to be blessed and receive but today I am praying that my daughter continues to have love, mercy, compassion and to be a blessing to others.  What a great gift she has in her and I am excited to help her learn how to use it!  AMEN!!!  

So after discussing the bus issue I found out that two boys had taken a bracelet from my daughters friend.  They are all in the same class and I believe they were cousins so you do have that family dynamic.  My daughter then told me that she asked the boys if she could see the bracelet and when they gave it to her she gave it to her friend.  She then told me that she told the boys that we need to ask if we want to see we can't take things that aren't ours.  She helped her friend stop crying and she was surely being the hands and feet of Jesus on the bus today!  

You see this bus thing is a huge deal to me.  At the beginning of the school year a week before classes started they changed my daughters school placement.  She went from a 2 minute bus ride to  about a 20 minute bus ride and I was fearful and not happy.  I am happy that God has big plans for my daughter and he has placed her at the right school on the right bus where she is being used in a mighty way for her peers.  :)   :)  HALLELUJAH!!!!  

So parents today I challenge and encourage you to pray with and for your children.  No matter their age or understanding.  I challenge you to be the hands and feet of Jesus tomorrow.  How can you be a blessing to someone?

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
