Friendship

November 4, 2023 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” —1 Thessalonians 5:11

We are getting in the habit of praising work effort, less emphasis in accomplishments… However, we feel blessed that God has treasured us a child that does want to do well in school and in his work. Makes it a little easier to parent and is an inspiration for his siblings… “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”-Colossians I hope our children know that even if the world doesn’t notice their accomplishments God sure does!

Anniversary gift to each other, we’re hoping it makes checking cattle, water, etc easier.

Daddy gets doted upon. 😄💖💕💓💝

The Wisdom of the Saints (Book)….”Sooner or later we all rise or fall to the level of our friendships. The people we surround ourselves with either help us to become the-best-version-of-ourselves, or encourage us to become lesser versions of ourselves. We become like our friends. This book is an invitation to become friends with some of the greatest men and women who have ever lived.”

Happy All Soul’s Day!

All Soul’s Day Blessing. Andrew made sure our Babies grave and Mom’s, and relatives he knew had their graves individually blessed.❤️. Thea and I made it through the Litany, but then she needed a warm snack.

Candied pumpkin…traditional “Day of the Dead,” food. Andrew made this one time before.

All Saints Day!😇

Our family gathered all of our Saint statues we have into one spot to be able to see our Heavenly friends that are able to accompany us on this journey so that we may be with them in Heaven! If you’re struggling in any area, there’s going to be a saint to intercede for you!

Duck, wild rice, turnips, carrots from the garden, and onions. Seriously scrumptious!

Happy Halloween 🎃 Happy All Hallows’ Eve😇

The importance of having honest conversations about purity and God’s design of our bodies with your children!

I enjoy sharing this story of a good college friend with my children. She saved her money to go and see a movie starring one of her favorite actors. She had her popcorn and settled in and within 5 minutes of the beginning of the movie there was an impure scene. She got up and walked out. I replied, “wow that was brave, didn’t know one could do that!” She said, “Not only can we, Jesus asks that we do.” To this day, I still call upon her lesson, when I’m in an uncomfortable situation and I know what I should do, but dread doing it, I think of her and her courage of doing what was right.

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” -Mother Teresa
