Abiding in His Love

Great book for children
I am fascinated by a book I received last summer while we visited a family friend in California, they always give us “take home” (books) food for the soul. First I was a little reluctant about taking the book over seas because it’s kind of big and heavy and our luggage were full but since we were on our way to the airport when we received it, we had to take it…. and what a great decision!!! I started reading it to Isaiah and it became one of our favorite books. It’s soo well written and soo deep. I am sure that it will take Isaiah a few years to grasp the depth of this book’s teachings but I feel responsible to sow the seeds of God’s Word in his heart.
The book is called : The Big Picture Story Bible, by David Helm (Author), Gail Schoonmaker (Illustrator)
The book presents to the readers a BIG GOD with a BIG LOVING HEART who KEEPS HIS BIG PROMISE!
The book takes you through the stories of the Bible to show you the big picture of God’s love for you!
There are many passages filled by so much depth but here is an excerpt that I really like – it talks about the birth of Jesus “While Caesar, the king of the Roman world, was showing everyone how great he was by counting all of his people, GOD, the king of the universe was showing the world how great HE was by sending His Son into the world as one of his people.” (page 255) Don’t you think this is so beautiful, so humbling and so loving!?!
Here is the link of the book from amazon

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT TO YOU IF YOU ARE PARENT OF A TODDLER/PRESCHOOLER. This book’s content will bless not only your child but also you as you read it. The images are very clear, big and beautifully colored.
BE BLESSED!
A good book
If you are looking for a good book to read about family, here is one that i strongly recommend. We received this book from a very dear family from California and we knew even from the beginning that it must be good… because of the person who gave it to us! 
But once we started reading it we realized how simple and practical it is… how deep are the truths presented and at the same time how personal they can be.
The book I am talking about is called DISCIPLINE OF A GODLY FAMILY by Kent and Barbara Hughes. They talk about their blessings and about their struggles, but they also they admit their failures. They speak out of hearts that seek to glorify God through their families. The book more than others I read on family life is very much Bible oriented.
One thing that i really like about this book is that here and there they place stones of remembrance of God’s goodness toward them. Which makes you think of all the blessings and miracles that God has preformed in your life!
They also have lots of funny personal even silly stories about their lives as parents! They give lots of good advice and they encourage the reader to seek to cultivate an atmosphere of joy and love within the family… The end of each chapter has FOOD FOR THOUGHT with questions from the chapter….
READ IT and I promise you that your life and your family life will be richly blessed!
Loving your husband through Prayer
I know that you might be thinking – why does she talk about husbands while we still celebrate mother’s day?!… first is because I love my husband so much and without him I could not be who I am: a blessed wife and mother. Second because prayer connects us to heaven and to our Father.
I am reading this book:
“Loving your spouse through prayer” by Cherri Fuller. Read the rest of this entry »
31 Days toward Intimacy with God
As you might have noticed I’ve been posting few quotes form a book by Jony Eareckson Tada. I use it as a devotion guide during my quiet time. The thing that I really like about it is the flowing of the messages. The are very simple, clear but at the same time deep and personal.
As the title says the book is an invitation to know God on a deeper level, to trust him more and to follow Him closer even though at some times we have to give up our selfish desires…
The main idea is to be conformed to the image of Christ even to the point of His suffering…
Every day there is something new, something beautiful in our walk toward intimacy with our Lord and Savior…
