To Train Up A Child, Watch How You Walk

The biblical proverb tells us to “Train up a child in the way he should go…”.

How do we live that out every day as moms? The answer is found in another passage of Scripture, Deuteronomy 6. There we learn that we are to teach our children the ways of God in the every day workings of our lives, when we get up and when we journey through our day.

Heavenly Father,
Show us how to walk in your ways so we can teach our children the way they should go in everything that we do.

May our children see us living in humility and obedience to you as we interact with them each and every moment of every day.

Help us to seek forgiveness when we fall short of being the examples of Jesus that you want us to be.

Help us to love our children as you do and to always seek what is best for the in your eyes, not our own.

As we seek to raise our children to follow you, let us lean not on our own understanding but acknowledge you and your wisdom instead.We thank you for the precious gift of children.

Help us to disciple our children well for your honor and glory.
Amen.

Healthy Weeknight Meals

Cooking can sometimes feel like a chore at the end of a busy day. It’s often tempting to throw a ready meal in the oven or call for take out. But preparing a simple and healthy family meal doesn’t have to be hard or time-consuming. Here are some quick wholesome dishes that you and your family will love. They can even be prepared in advance.

Better than Poutine

I know, what could be better that a steaming plate of fries, gravy and cheese curd? Fries, gravy, cheese curd and bacon, that’s what! Throw in some fresh shallots, chilli, and a splash of roasted bone marrow and duck gravy, and we turn this popular French-Canadian dish into a something sublime.

Breakfast at my House

During the week we’re often walking out the door with a coffee in one hand and slice of toast in the other, but on weekends breakfast is never rushed. It’s a late affair, sometimes spilling over to lunch, with lots of reading and chatter in between courses of fruits, poached eggs, honey and toast. One of our favorite things we like to serve when friends are visiting are buckwheat blueberry pancakes.
