Real life adventure. It’s what I write. It’s what I breathe. Hello, Moody Family!
In this 10 book series (along with a short Christmas story), you’ll find believable characters and adventures your children can identify with. Each title builds, so it’s best to begin with Book #1: Summer with the Moodys. Summer is almost here, which affords extra time for children. Grab a Moody Family Adventure!
Go ahead and watch the video for more information.
“…we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.” 2 Corinthians 12:19
I think this amazing spring weather has me dreaming of Colorado. It’s our vivid blue skies and 60-something-degree temperatures which are my idea of weather perfection. For those of you who haven’t been able to experience the top of a 14er, I thought you’d enjoy this video Jesse took as we descended Belford last August. If you want to read more about our double 14er that day, see this post.
“Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.” Psalm 36:6
I’m blessed to have a godly family spanning multiple generations who truly love the Lord Jesus.
Our Resurrection Service was wonderful. Very encouraging! Above you see Buddy who often joins me at the piano for prelude music.
Isn’t Christopher and Anna Marie’s family just so cute? So much adorableness packed into these four kiddos. Mary grabbed their picture after church.
Sunday afternoon was filled with family time and preparing for the big meal at 5!
Working on the ham! Miss Roll Maker herself
I wonder how many of you enjoyed those Sunday?!
Anna is always doing something to serve others. Joseph and Elissa
So now you can watch the progression of our dinner in the video above. It was a blessed time, just a little too short.
Some outside time after dinner (Calia and Anna are really great buddies: you’ll often find them doing things together when Calia is over). The three girls sang a special for us. I enjoyed the little ones scattered on big ones’ laps!
Time in God’s Word.
Even Buddy “reads”: he repeats after an adult his verse.
Benjamin simply melts me. How adorable can you get?!
“That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children.” Psalm 78:6
Mark, the young man who bought his house debt free and his two brothers read Buying a House Debt-Free. They report that the book was an encouragement to them, and they discussed, as a family, the biblical principal of living debt-free and being content in Christ.
We Maxwells have a vision for families and the children in them learning to be content in Christ and live debt-free lives. With that seed planted in the heart, what seems impossible—a young man purchasing his first house debt free—can become a reality. It is true for our three married sons and our two unmarried sons have the finances to buy their homes debt free. In Buying a House Debt-Free, we share multiple stories of young men who have purchased their homes debt free and give practical steps toward that goal.
The story of Mark is yet another one that we hope and pray will not only inspire you but also motivate you—to own debt-free convictions, to live them out, to teach them to your children, and to read Buying a House Debt-Free if you haven’t already.
You may start small. That’s okay. Simply take the first step.
The exciting “end” of Mark’s story (see Part 1 and Part 2)? He just got engaged!
Mark and his fiancee
“The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender” (Proverbs 22:7).
I love this age of technology. Capturing cute moments are so easy. Miss Calia is a very active little girl, and she loves to talk. Watch her “read” the book.
“… and the glory of children are their fathers.” Proverbs 17:6
What would it have been like that very first Resurrection Sunday morning? Imagine. It’s almost dawn. The stillness of night has broken as a lone bird warbles the first song. Darkness is fleeing as light stretches across the eastern sky. The normal chain of night and day are continuing, although just a short while ago, darkness swept across the land for three hours as Jesus took our sin upon Him.
The grief that wants to shred our hearts in pieces almost overwhelms us as the thoughts of that awful day flood our minds. But wait. The stone–it’s not in front of the tomb anymore!
Yes, my friends. Jesus rose from the dead. He conquered sin forever. May His sacrifice for you — for me — sink deep into our hearts. May it overwhelm us with His eternal, steadfast love.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” — Isaiah 53:5-6
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” — Romans 10:9-10
