The Lord is With You Do you ever catch yourself just going through the motions. Day in and day out, checking things off your list, taking your children to school, finishing projects, making dinner… Some days seen very repetitious and I forget how amazing it is that I am here, that I have a loving … Continue reading Monday Mom Meditation: 11
