Many years before I had my children there was one thing I prayed — that they would know Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him.  Now that they have been with me for a few years there are other things I pray for them. I pray that they will find a Godly spouse, that they will be a good wife/husband, a good father/mother, that they will always follow God, etc.

Today while I was searching around on Pinterest I found this free calendar.  Each day has a topic, prayer, and verse so that you can pray something specific for your children.  Of course we will always mutter prayers like, “Please let them sleep in on Saturday.”  lol  This calendar provides and easy way to pray intentionally for our children.

Enjoy and let me know what you think! 

Elevation Church just released their eKidz Worship EP. They gave away cds this weekend at church and now they are offering the download for free.

We got the cd this weekend and our kids have really enjoyed listening to the music.   Get it for free here. 

Go to the Honey Nut Cheerios website to request your free sample of the cereal.  They will also send you a $.75 coupon. 

Enjoy!

It’s time for Christian Audio’s free download of the month.

During the month of July get The Millennials for free.

by Thom S. Rainer and Jess Rainer
read by Ray Porter

Sure to interest even the secularists who study this group, The Millennials is based on 1200 interviews with its namesakes that aim to better understand them personally, professionally, and spiritually. Chapters report intriguing how-and-why findings on family matters (they are closer-knit than previous generations), their desire for diversity (consider the wave of mixed race and ethnic adoptions), Millennials and the new workplace, their attitude toward money, the media, the environment, and perhaps most tellingly, religion.

Like Smithfield on facebook and they’ll donate a serving of protein to a food bank.  This promotion is ongoing through December.  It’s a simple way to help those in need.
