Welcome her as she shares a beautiful testimony about praying for your children. ————————- “With the near arrival of my second grandchild (maybe THIS week), I’m thinking …

Thanks Amanda Walker for visiting us as guest blogger again today. I always learn from your wisdom. ————————— “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He …

Carrie Vipperman joins us at Hungry For More again today. I love her depth of spirit and perception, especially as she seeks the Lord. Thanks Carrie for reminding us of what is really important. ———————- “But, Mo-o-o-m, his headlamp BLI-I-NKS!!” Just like that, all the joy that my little girl had felt from our time playing as a family …
