As we approach that one special day of the year we’ve intentionally set aside to reflect on our blessings, I am reminding myself to take some time to count all of mine. This is not always an easy thing to do.
It’s so easy to look around at other people and envy the things that they have: I [...]

Yes, we need courage. We face many struggles—in the economy, in raising children, in creating a spiritual home environment, in relating to others as good husbands or wives, brothers or sisters, daughters or sons, friends, employee, or employers. Many days, it takes a good deal of courage just to get out of bed in the [...]

Fall is upon us in all its glory. Families have adjusted to the “back to school schedule,” the temperatures are dropping, and so are the leaves!
I find this to be a very special time of year, yet another beautiful season God sends us to enjoy. With these changes, we also begin to see pumpkins and [...]

All over our country, parents, children, and teachers are back in school, or getting ready to go. It is a busy time for me as a teacher. I am excited to meet a new group of five-year-old children that will be entering mykindergarten classroom! I have the honor and the privilege of getting to know [...]

As both a parent and a teacher, I am preparing for yet another time of transition. It seems that just yesterday the children were coming home, putting down schoolbooks and picking up beach balls and sunscreen. And so was I! (I teach in a Catholic school.)
Yet here we are, looking at the end of the [...]
t is hard to believe that another summer is slipping away. July is gone and August is rapidly approaching. As August arrives, we begin to think about the end of summer and the beginning of the school year.
But before summer is truly gone, take some time to yourself to reflect and recharge for another busy [...]
As we continue to enjoy the quiet, lazy days of summer, I like to take advantage of the “down time” to plan some plans for the busy days ahead. I am enjoying spending the summer with my children home from school, but like most moms, I know I’ll get very again when school starts.
In addition, [...]
Summer goes all too quickly! July 4 has arrived, set off its last fire crackers, and departed already! I hope you’ve been making the most of opportunities to visit with your children and grandchildren these past weeks. And I hope you plan to exploit the next few weeks for that purpose, too, enjoying some family [...]

As I was growing up, I was always told that I would appreciate my parent’s wisdom and maturity when I was an adult. While that was hard for me to realize then, I can now understand the depth of unconditional love that a parent feels for a child. Not only did this realization bring me [...]
I have found that the children I teach sometimes think that Easter ends once Easter Sunday has come and gone. I contradict that by teaching them that Easter is a season that begins on Easter Sunday. During this special season, we celebrate the fact that Jesus is alive! He has now ascended into heaven and, [...]
