Animal Farm. If you look closely enough, you can see Old Major in the barn addressing Boxer, Clover, Benjamin, Muriel, Jessie, Bluebell, Snowball, Squealer, Napoleon, and all the others. Abby arranged this scene herself — proof that she was paying close attention when I read George Orwell’s classic aloud to my kids last week. It has been more than 75 years since Orwell first penned this political fable, yet it remains as relevant today as ever. Wish our elected officials who seem so inexplicably enamored with Socialism would take time to read and ponder its message. #fourlegsgood #twolegsbetter #flandersfamilyreads

I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to

I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to teach my kids the value of making lists, as well. For instance, sometimes when they’ve continued to squabble or butt heads even after I’ve called them down, I’ll send them to opposite corners of the house with a list-making assignment: ✅ “Describe 3 better ways you could’ve responded in that situation than the one you chose.” ✅ “Write down 5 things you love and appreciate about your sister. “ ✅ “List 10 ways you could show kindness to your brother. “ With that last one, I’d follow up by telling them to choose a different idea off their list every day for the next 10 days and do it. Gradually, over time, those kind, loving deeds became their default behavior. And as a bonus, the kids not only learned to be kind to one another, but showed similar courtesies to friends, other family members, and strangers, alike. Want to be more loving to the people God has placed in your life? Brainstorm ways to show kindness to them. Because love is kind. #happyvalentinesday #bekind

The only love that will never fail, fade, or falte

The only love that will never fail, fade, or falter? The love of God.“ Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever.“ (Psalm 107:1) #amazinglove #howcanitbe #thatthoumygodshouldstdieforme

What does patient love look like? It takes time to

What does patient love look like? It takes time to listen. It doesn’t tap its toes, drum its fingers, check its watch, or roll its eyes. It doesn’t act irritated or annoyed when the object of its love needs time or attention. Patient love is selfless and long suffering — just as God is with us. As Christians, this is the kind of love God calls us to demonstrate to our spouse, our children, our neighbors, and even our enemies — a constant, unruffled love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. A love that would be quite impossible apart from the endless grace and indwelling power of God. #goals #radicallove

Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 1

Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 15:9) And what exactly does Christ’s kind of love look like? He sums it up for us in Luke 6:27-28: “Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who despitefully use you.” The good news is, we don’t have to look far for an opportunity to put this command into practice. Nor must we do any of this in our own strength. God’s empowering grace enables us to forgive offenders, to extend kindness in response to rudeness, to show mercy to the unmerciful, and to point unbelievers to a Savor who sees them, knows them, and loves them enough to die for them. #jesuslovesme #thisiknow #forthebibletellsmeso
