Book Review- Blessed are the Peacmakers

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

Yep, another Berenstain Bear book... because you know I love and so do my kids! 

This summer in children's church we walked through the fruits of the spirit so this book was very nice to have to go along with it.  

About the book:
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God.”
Matthew 5:9
In this new Berenstain Bears 8x8 book, Blessed are the Peacemakers , Brother and Sister have a wide circle of friends at Bear Country School and they get along with pretty much everyone. But not all their friends get along with each other. Too Tall and his bullying gang, for instance, are often in conflict with Cousin Fred, Ferdy Factual, and their friends. So what happens when the cubs all need to work together on the annual school play? Brother and Sister have to decide whether they should “mind their own business” or get involved as peacemakers and try to calm the troubled waters.'

My Review:
I think I have reviewed a half dozen or so of the Berenstain Bear series and every time you will find a positive review.   My kids have fallen in love with the characters just like I did when I was a child.  I don't remember as many faith based ones as I do now bu either way I have always been a huge fan.   

This book fit in nicely with our fruit of the spirit lessons at children's church.   I love when a children's book provides a problem and an easy solution for kids to figure out even if you pause before reading the story.   Not only could we discuss the fruit of the spirit peace, but since this book deals with bullying we were able to discuss this in further details.   Bullying seems to be a national epidemic and as a mother and a school teacher I am always trying very hard to make sure it is not an issue for my kids or my students.   My son is only 3 years old but he has been picking on a younger girl at daycare so it was vital for him to hear this story.   My daughter is in first grade so talking about problem resolution was a big topic and something we will come back to often.  

Any parent who is trying to find books that will provide good discussions then BUY this book! 

Thanks Zondervan for providing me with a copy of this book to conduct my review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions are 100% mine.

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...
