Blessing Of Family

August 12, 2026

This past weekend I had the wonderful blessing of spending time with some of my children and their spouses. What a joy it was to be together, sharing memories, laughing about days gone by, and simply enjoying one another’s company.

As I looked around at my family, my heart was filled with thankfulness. Through the years there have been many changes, but one of my greatest blessings is knowing that my children love and serve the Lord. There is no greater joy for a mother than to see her family walking with God.

Time with family is precious. We never know how many opportunities we will have to all be together, so these special times should never be taken for granted. I thank the Lord for each one of them and for the wonderful memories we made together this weekend.

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” — 3 John 1:4 KJV

Thank You, Lord, for the blessing of family and for children who walk in Your truth. What a joy!

A Heart That Found Hope

July 16, 2026

This week the Lord brought a very special visitor into my home—an 11-year-old girl from Mexico and her two aunts. My heart was touched as I listened to her story.

She had experienced so much hurt for someone so young. After the passing of her mother, life became filled with uncertainty. She struggled with relationships, family situations, and the challenges of leaving her country. Although one of her loving aunts had opened her home to care for her, this precious young girl still carried the heavy burden of feeling unloved.

They came simply asking for prayer.

What a privilege it was to open God’s Word and share with her the greatest love she would ever know—the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. As we talked about His love and His gift of salvation, the Holy Spirit worked in her heart.

That day, this precious 11-year-old girl placed her faith in Jesus Christ as her Savior.

There is no greater joy than watching a hurting heart find hope in Christ. We cannot erase the pain of yesterday, but Jesus can forgive, heal, comfort, and give a brand-new future. His love reaches where no human love ever can.

Please join me in praying for this young girl as she begins her walk with the Lord. Pray that she will grow strong in her faith, know beyond any doubt that she is deeply loved by God, and become a shining light to those around her.

Thank You, Lord, for allowing us the honor and privilege of sharing Your Word with those who are searching for hope.

KJV Verse

Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” — Mark 10:14 (KJV)

Children!

June 10, 2026

One of God’s greatest blessings is family. As I spend time with my family, especially my small great-grandchildren, I am reminded how precious each generation is. Their laughter, curiosity, and joy bring warmth to my heart and remind me of God’s goodness. Time passes quickly, and these moments are gifts that should be treasured.

The Bible tells us that children are not merely a responsibility—they are a heritage from the Lord. They are part of the legacy God allows us to leave behind. As grandparents and great-grandparents, we have the privilege of sharing our faith, our love, and the stories of God’s faithfulness with those who follow us.

Today I thank the Lord for family, for the blessing of watching new generations grow, and for the opportunity to point them toward Christ. May we never take these precious moments for granted.


The laughter of little children is one of God’s sweetest reminders that His blessings continue from generation to generation. 

A Child’s Love!

April 21, 2026

Sometimes the simplest messages are the most powerful. This sweet drawing reminds us of what truly matters—love for Jesus and love for family. From the heart of a child comes a pure expression of faith and affection that speaks louder than words. May we all keep that same simple, sincere love in our hearts.

This note was written on the back of a decision card at an event with SOS Events. She and her older sister accepted Jesus as their Savior.

Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 14:19

Children, God’s Blessing

January 22, 2026

God blesses us with our children! When you first see your newborn child, it is love at first sight!

Children give us our greatest joy and also our greatest sorrow. We rejoice with them when they accomplish a goal.

We weep with them when they hurt or are in trouble. 

God has given us a great blessing and a great responsibility to rear our children in the ways of the Lord.

Love them, discipline them, pray for them and be an example to them.

We must give them back to God to take care of them and trust Him. Remember, God loves them even more than we do.

Teaching Your Children To Be Thankful!

September 10, 2025

This little chorus is a great way to teach your children to be thankful. It also opens the door to a conversation about their salvation.

As a family singing, especially on car trips, brought joy and harmony into whatever we were doing.

There are many little songs that honor the Lord. Sing with your children and teach them to be thankful.

Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. Psalm 147:1

Thankful for Children

March 20, 2025

Today, if God has blessed you with children, stop and thank Him for each one He has given you.

Pray for your children. If they are babies or very young, pray they will come to know Jesus as their Savior and they will follow Him all the lives.

If your children are now adults, they need your prayers. Trials of life come on everyone and they need to know you are praying for them.

You may have a child who has gone astray. Never stop praying for him or her. God answers prayer and loves that child even more than you do.

If you have lost child who has died. Thank God for the time you had with him or her. Ask God to comfort you in your loss.

Maybe you have never had children and there is a void in your life. Look around. There are children that are starving for love and attention. It may be a neighbor or someone in your church. Volunteer to teach a children’s class.

Thank you, Lord, for the children in my life. Please bless each one today with whatever need they have. In Jesus precious name.

Pray For Your Children & Grandchildren

June 24, 2024

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

It is so important that we pray for our children and grandchildren. This photo was taken a year ago, it is Carolyn Curtis and some of her grandchildren.

The family is still growing as several more have been added since then.

Carolyn knows that praying for the children in the family is key to their health, safety and salvation. Her grandmother prayed for her when she was a small child.

Those prayers followed her into her teen years when she finally accepted Jesus as her Savior.

Today, her prayers are for her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

The newest great grandson, Jace William, needs special prayer. He is a newborn with some physical issues. He will need an operation on his heart in the near future. Please join Carolyn in prayer for this precious baby boy.
