We all know the books we read shape us and grow us. Besides benefits like increasing our vocabulary and sharpening our brains, books also teach us, challenge us and bring us comfort. Many benefits are waiting for you as you take the time to pick up a good book. 
We all have an ever-growing list of books we'd like to read each year. I'm sharing a few tips that have helped me choose what to read and make more time to fit it into a busy schedule.

Whenever I am asked, "Who has made an impact on your life?" my mind is drawn to my grandmother. My grandmother is a beautiful woman who had a significant impact on me as a homemaker, wife, mother, and grandmother.
In this episode, I share some insights into my grandmother's life (she lived to be 102!), the lessons she taught me, and the example she set for me on being a homemaker. 
My hope is that this episode will remind us to cherish each moment, love generously, and reflect God's grace and love in everything we do.

Lessons Learned from My Grandmother

My dear friends, we are diving into a topic that is near and dear to many of our mama hearts and it’s one that's dear to mine. We are walking through how to love our wayward children. We will discuss the importance of keeping a Gospel focus, connecting with our prodigal children, and trusting in the absolute sovereignty of God in salvation. I pray this episode will encourage you, remind you where your true hope lies, and give some practical guidance too.
