“God’s various gifts are handed out everywhere… God’s various ministries are carried out everywhere… God’s various expressions of power are in action everywhere… but God Himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 msg
Each day we should focus on magnifying God. This is why we were created and according to Paul “you yourselves are our letter written on our hearts, known and read by everybody… “.
When we think that we are too messed up, have too much sin in our lives or are too weak, remember that the Lord is our strength. God always wants to show Himself to others through you. When we are weak, He is strong.
Remember the saying, “Bloom where you are planted”. Whatever your walk in life, God can use you for his purpose and glory. Trust in Him always.
Are we inadvertently depriving our kids of important tools for learning and growth? Experts tell us that wooden puzzles and board games are two of the best substitutes for electronic games.

Playing with puzzles may at first seem dull or a waste of time compared to the excitement of electronic games, but children still love to play with all the differently shaped pieces and are drawn to the bright primary colors just as we were as children.

When a toy becomes to easy you will notice your child will set it aside and stop playing with it.
