Most veterans never receive a medal for their bravery, much less a hero’s welcome home. Misinformed media and convincing propaganda downplay the sacrifice of our soldiers. To counter this bias, we as American citizens should take the opportunity to publish the untold stories of heroism. By asking an uncle to tell stories of his days in Korea, or conversing with an Iraqi War veteran at a community event, we can discover hidden heroes at our fingertips.

In the Heart of my Home: Velveteen Me--New Beginning

littlepinkhouse — Tue, 15 May 2012 20:16:44 +0000

We are given gifts. We all have our talents to bury or to squander or to invest. All my life, God has given me words. When I have been lonely, afraid, without comfort or attachment, He gave me words. I write to make sense of the world around me and I always have, for as long as I can remember... I write because it's my gift--the lifeline God has thrown me, for me. But, He showed me that when I have the courage to share those words, they can bless someone else. I can give them as a gift. I can articulate something that she is thinking and so help bear the burden of the thought.

My best writing isn't that which engages in up-to-the-minute dialogue. My best writing takes its time. Says its prayers. I'm not a news chasing vehicle and I'm not about promoting myself while fighting for a cause.

When the verdict is always, "Guilty!" | YLCF

littlepinkhouse — Mon, 14 May 2012 22:28:26 +0000

These feelings of guilt are bestowed upon us by society, by other moms, even by ourselves…but they are not God-given. God does not sit in the corner of our house critically analyzing the lack of perfection in everything we do, or making snide comments to cut us down, or casting us into spasms of guilt over every sin or mistake — past or present, real or imagined.

Don’t neglect filling up your own cup in the presence of your Lord so that you can freely pour out for them. He designed you for such a purpose…and together, we can change the world.

Motherhood Is Victory - Desiring God

We are not mothering in hope anymore. We are mothering in victory. We are not bearing children to clear a field for planting, we are bearing children to work the harvest.

Was it possible to love the created more than the Creator? Did she love him for who he was not just for what he could give? If he tore away her dreams, would she still remain his?

Quality Books Take Time | Rachelle Gardner

I believe we need to keep holding books to a high standard. I want us all to keep insisting on quality reading material, not settling for whatever someone could slap together and impatiently upload to Kindle with barely a lick and a promise.
