rest of the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When its time to return to get her mother and siblings, Sarah stays with a native American family who&#8217;d befriended her and her father during their season of labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each step of the way, Sarah must muster her courage, even when she doesn&#8217;t feel very brave in her heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have some Nobles in my own family tree, so it was

follow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id83529_e1c1d0-e3 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id83529_e1c1d0-e3 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

purely theoretical &#8212; a treatise, perhaps, on why it is important that Christian couples have children, plus some encouragement for raising them up to be men and women of integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This slim volume did touch on such ideas, to be sure, but it also offered a wealth of thoughtful insights and practical suggestions for cultivating a warm and mutually respectful relationship with your children, being intentional with the time you invest in each of their lives, prayerfully training them up in the way they should go, and living before them an example worthy of imitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I especially enjoyed the lengthy Q&amp;A session with Wilson and his wife in the book&#8217;s

Rest of Us<\/a><\/em> by Dana K. White<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I was growing up, whenever my closet or dresser drawers got into an especial state of disarray, my mom would send me to &#8220;clean my room.&#8221; When she later checked on my progress, things would often look worse than before I started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then my dear mother would come along beside me and help restore order and make everything tidy and easy to find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XhKBxN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><em>Organizing for the Rest of Us<\/em><\/a>, Dana White provides her readers with the same kind of practical, how-to encouragement my mom gave me. If organizing doesn&#8217;t come naturally to you, I recommend you check her 100 helpful hints out for yourself.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id83529_8d9166-86 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id83529_8d9166-86 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id83529_8d9166-86 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}.kb-row-layout-id83529_8d9166-86 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id83529_8d9166-86 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id83529_8d9166-86 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id83529_8d9166-86 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-right-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column83529_ea3449-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column83529_ea3449-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column83529_ea3449-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column83529_ea3449-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column83529_ea3449-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column83529_ea3449-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column83529_ea3449-79{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column83529_ea3449-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column83529_ea3449-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column83529_ea3449-79\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Sounder.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"351\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Sounder.jpg?resize=351%2C522&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sounder (&amp; More August Reads)\" class=\"wp-image-83537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Sounder.jpg?w=351&amp;ssl=1 351w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Sounder.jpg?resize=202%2C300&amp;ssl=1 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column83529_a6cb60-89 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column83529_a6cb60-89 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column83529_a6cb60-89 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column83529_a6cb60-89 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column83529_a6cb60-89 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column83529_a6cb60-89 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column83529_a6cb60-89{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column83529_a6cb60-89 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column83529_a6cb60-89 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column83529_a6cb60-89\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sounder-by-william-h-armstrong\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/click.convertkit-mail.com\/k0uqe9g2oof6hdxpx9pulho7ed277f8\/48hvh7ure2kq69hq\/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbXpuLnRvLzNaYkNiS0k=\">Sounder<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>by William H.
