Motherhood is not an entry job with part time hours. Being a mom is hard work every day. To be entrusted with the life, health and development of a tiny human being takes commitment and prayer. If you are a mom, I would encourage you to look beyond the daily busyness. Being a good mom deserves a standing ovation!!

Check out the long list of some of the jobs a mom does daily @ www.nurturingmynest.com

Long before dawn on Easter morning, about 100 believers gathered on Coconut Island with eager hearts. Many new worshippers of Christ anticipated this day. Easter Sunrise Service in Hawaii was an annual celebration with baptisms, a distinctly local breakfast and Easter service. Let me share my memories of spiritual Easters, ideas for celebrating a spiritual Easter, thoughts for Easter baskets, a fun inspiration on "egging," and some suggestions for books to read this season.
