A The Strength to Turn the Other Cheek
Jesus said some things that are easy to put on a coffee mug and incredibly difficult to actually live. “Turn the other cheek” is one of them. In Matthew 5:38–39, Jesus says: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” Our natural response when someone hurts us is to How COVID has affected us
A New School Year

Prayer is an Action
My sister reminded me of something recently that I needed to hear. She looked at me and said, “Prayer is an action.” Now, that may not sound revolutionary to you, but it stopped me in my tracks. You see, I am an action girl. Need volunteers? I’ll find them. Need an event planned? Give me a clipboard and a color-coded spreadsheet. Someone is hurting? I’m already halfway to their house with a meal, a solution, and probably three backup plans. How COVID has affected us
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Jesus and the Little Children
In Jesus’ day, children weren’t thought of as equals with adults. They would be given chores to do. They would eat after their father had eaten. They weren’t allowed to speak when grown-ups were speaking. You would never see a child come in and interrupt adults. The family hierarchy was father, mother, and then the children. They were to be quiet and stay out of the way. So it was quite a shock when people brought little children to Jesus, How COVID has affected us
