Praying for Boston

Today was a day that I wish ended before it started! First the little boy I watch fell and got the biggest goose egg I have ever seen!! :( I hate when kids get hurt and I dislike when they are not my kids and they are under my supervision. Plus the incident happened while we were out and about so it was stressful to say the least.

Then to hear about Boston and worry about a few people that I knew were there! I am so thankful they are all fine and had already finished the race!

So with all this stress, frustration, and broken heart I just have to PRAY!

Please join me in prayer!

Papa God,
Please comfort the broken heart-ed tonight. Cover them with your peace. I pray for the survivors still at the hospital- please guide the doctors and nurses and bring healing to those bodies. Thank-you for my friends who are safe!! Please guide and help the investigation of this crime. I pray that this nation would once again SHOUT- "ONE NATION UNDER GOD!" Because God- WE NEED YOU!!! This world needs you! WE NEED MORE GOD MORE GOD! Thank-you daddy God for calming my nerves and clearing my head. AMEN

Feel free to comment your own prayers! :)

Be Blessed,
April

So happy to hear those you know finished the race safe! My heart has been focused on Boston too today. My post paralleling Paul's goal...to "Keep the faith, and finish the race".
Praying each of us, run together. Arms linked, strong. Eyes fixed, solely on the one, in whom this whole race is worth running for....!
Blessings, Jen

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear.

The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
