Eyes to See Glimpses of Grace
Intentionally seeking out evidence of God’s grace—in ourselves, our children, and even our circumstances—is a powerful and practical way to battle discouragement in motherhood.
Provision: Feasting on Goodness and Grace
As we stop to enjoy the physical nourishment God provides, we see reflections of his greater spiritual provision for us in Christ.

Our Daily Bread: Dependence and Gratitude Around the Table
Praying before meals reminds us of our need for daily bread—to fill our stomachs and our souls—and points us (and our children) to God who so generously supplies it.
Gratitude in the Midst of Grief
Celebrating abundance can make us feel our lack and loss more deeply. But even in grief, we can give thanks to the Lord.
