Expecting? Get Your Little Ones Involved

Before the big day of delivery, your little ones can prepare for their baby sibling to come home.  Making a card and a gift for the baby's birth-day is super fun.  They can wrap it and decorate their card and present.  And during delivery, while they are with their relatives, your little ones can bake and decorate cookies to celebrate!

Traveling Overseas, Antibiotics

My doctor was talking about her family trip to Barcelona, Spain.  She described the adventures she and her family had on a cruise.  However, on the trip, her son became terribly sick and was getting worse.  It was extremely tedious searching and finding the nearest hospital and getting antibiotics for her youngest child. 

To save yourself the hassle next time you travel, be prepared and ask your pediatrician for a children's antibiotic to take with you in case your son or daughter becomes sick.  It's a dry form that you can add water to when needed.  Pediatricians are absolutely willing to help you get prepared.  

Encouraging Scripture on Financial Planning

We are called to be good stewards with our money, to get out of debt, to save, to tithe and to invest.  Be encouraged, the Bible has a lot to say about finances.  You and your spouse can pray for God's purpose for your finances.       


Tithing
¹⁰ Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. Malachi 3:10


Debt
¹² The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. Deuteronomy 28:12

Making an Effort to Pay Off Debt

and the borrower is slave to the lender. Proverbs 22:7

Financial Independence

The LORD is the Maker of them all. Proverbs 22:2

Financial Independence

But by the moments that take our breaths away...
