Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. - Psalm 115:1 niv Let’s take a minute and reflect on this verse. How does it apply to your business? Are you working so hard just to get ahead, to help yourself and your own family? If so…I encourage you to re-think that. There’s nothing wrong with hard work to help out your family. The Bible encourages that! The Proverbs 31 woman works night and day to help provide for her family. But in verse 20 it also says that “she opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.” Are you inward focused or outward focused? Is every cent you make going to pay off your own debts or going into the family pot…or are you giving some away, too? I ask you to pray and seek the Lord about that this week. I have learned that when my goals and dreams are more outward focused, God does amazing things! When I’m focused on my self, there’s no room for the work of God in my life. Dream … [Read more...]

Summer Suncare for Kids
Summer sun safety for children is something on parents’ minds as the temperatures rise and the days lengthen. You want your children to spend time playing outside but the possibility of getting sunburned is an ever-present thought. Here are some guidelines to help you know how to keep your children safe in the summer sun. Dermatologists and other experts recommend putting sunscreen on your children at least 15 to 30 minutes before they go outside each and every time before they go outside. This may seem like overkill, but the fact is that if your child gets seriously sunburned even once, it could increase their chance of developing skin cancer in the future. Once the sunscreen has been applied, it is important to reapply it every two hours your child is outdoors.
