Thankfulness for health

As I sit here reading posts on Facebook about several friends and their families being sick, I stopped to think about my family. I had some sinus junk a few weeks ago, as did the hubby, but I can't remember the last time the girls got sick...no seriously. I can't remember. We moved here almost exactly 4 months ago and they have only been to the doctor once...to get a flu shot. So it has been at least before we moved here. And if I remember correctly, their last doctor appointments before the move were for well-child check-ups. Why do I bring this up? Well, why...why aren't my kids getting sick? Lucky? I think not. I am 100% certain that this is absolutely in no way a coincidence.


Let me explain. I believe that God is a right now God. I believe that He is still in the business of healing. (among other miracles as well) I don't think it's always something He does just because He wants to though. You have to want it. You have to ask for it. How does one go about doing that? Well, I have made it a habit within the last few years to pray health over my children daily. The words I say are not profound in any way, but they come from an earnest heart. I ask the Lord to watch over my children as they are away from home. I ask Him to protect them from illness and injury...and so far, so good. There was this one day, last school year I didn't pray for health over them...and wouldn't you know it, my Angel came home sick that day from school. I haven't missed a day since...and He has been faithful.


So, thanks God for keeping my family healthy. Thanks for Your Son whom You sent to die for us to have healing and freedom. Thanks for being faithful to me as I am faithful to You.


I challenge you to try it...try praying health and healing over yourself and your family...and see if He isn't faithful.

“When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”” Matthew 2:4-6

Movie Review: The Way Home

The Way Home is based on a true story. This family has young children and a father who works hard and is seemingly absent from the home. The Simpkins family got a wake up call that none of us ever wants. Their youngest son goes missing. The movie centers around the search for their child and is a great story of a community coming together. And a family finding the importance of faith in God and in one another. It is a very heartwarming story with a feel-good vibe.


My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and have watched it several times. The story is easy to follow and is played out well enough for my two children to follow easily. My only complaint about the movie is the camera work. Some of it is a bit shaky and unsteady in parts. It is something that is easily overlooked, however. I will recommend this movie to all my friends and family. I might even be purchasing a copy or two for Christmas gifts!
