How do you teach your children to be Thankful?

Thanksgiving is coming. As Christians every day should be Thanksgiving. We should daily praise and thank God for who He is and the many blessings he has given us. Most of all that we are thankful for the gift of salvation and that He drew us to Himself. Our world does not focus on thankfulness. So, please share some ways you help teach your children to be thankful.

What is your biggest struggle?

As a Christian Working Mom what do you think your biggest struggle is right now? It doesn't necessarily have to be as a CWM. Sometimes I think when we are seeing others struggle just as much as we are we can be encouraged. Also, if you could share what has helped you most during this current struggle. I am in a study right now entitled, "When Life is Hard" by James MacDonald. He said if you are not experiencing trials as a believer then maybe you are not His child. Trials are just part of a believer's life. To find out more read Hebrews 12:1-18. For me right now I know I'm God's child. How about you?

School is starting

Depending on where you live school is starting in the next few weeks. My children start next week. I'm curious do you buy school supplies before school starts, after school starts, or throughout the year? Any special back to school traditions you have as a family?

How can your church support you as a CWM?

Often we talk about how we don't feel the church supports us as a CWM. What could your church specifically do to support you as a CWM?

CWM Bible Studies

I have talked to several CWMs lately who have started Bible studies at their church or in their community for CWMs. If you have started a group could you share your experience and what resources you use?

Also, I have been giving some thought to possibly working on Bible studies for CWMs to use in a group. Is that something you would be interested in?

Thanks in advance for your help and I'm looking forward to learning what you all are doing.

Prayer Request for Kyron

One of our CWMs lives in Oregon. There is a child Kyron Homan who was last seen at his school walking to class and has not been seen since. Kyron is only 7 years old. To find out more information go to: http://www.kgw.com for more information. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. May Kyron be found soon.
