Pachelbel's Canon in D.

One thing I forgot to mention in your b'day note was to delegate responsibilities to the children. They need to learn to help while very young. I struggle with this still (13, 10.5, 4.5, 8 mos.) Have you read Good Families Don't Just Happen by the Garcia-Pratts? They have 10 sons, the oldest is a physician like Dad and the youngest is in (a Jesuit) high school. I have heard Cathy speak and need to take her advice to heart. Hope this helps you, too!

Can you write about your husband more?! I can picture you and your kids but don't read very much about him! (I can't remember if you've ever written on whether or not that is intentional).

Hi Jen,

I want to thank you for spotlighting Like Mother Like Daughter, I've been searching through that site since you did and it's EXACTLY what I need right now.

Thank you so much.

Anything else you want to share about finding time to write with little ones would be very appreciated.

I have a question for a potential post — how did your husband come to faith in Christ? It seems so common that one spouse undergoes a conversion, but the other doesn't.

Perhaps you addressed this queston before I discovered your blog, but I'm curious! )

"O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria"…

Also, "The Rainbow Connection" sung by Sarh McLachlan; "Oh My God" by Jars of Clay; and "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles.

I highly recommend the album "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" by John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers. It is full of beautiful a capella chants and motets, my favorite being "O Christ, Who Art the Light and Day". One of my favorite CDs for setting a peaceful, prayerful mood!

I love anything by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. My favorite…He's Been Faithful. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

It's not a religious song per se, but The Proclaimers have a song called "Believe in Me" (or "believe in Thee"), but it's lovely. It inspires me.

"The less I believe in me, the more I believe in thee!"
