Training Our Children to See
“The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them” (Proverbs 20:12). I’ve always been amazed at what children don’t see. They can step over an obstacle in the middle of the floor and not … Continue reading
Ruby — A Precious Jewel
“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged…” (Prov 17:6a, ESV) Ruby is my buddy. We both love ice cream. We both love bubble baths. We both have naturally curly hair. We share M & M’s after church. We go for … Continue reading

As the firstborn Forster child, I’ve experienced the child end (you can call me one of the guinea-pigs) of most of Doorposts’ materials. That’s truly been a great experience, but now that I’m married with two children, I’ve reached the … Continue reading

Praising the Good
“…to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good” (1 Pet. 2:14, ESV). It’s easy to become focused on what our children are doing wrong. When the toddler spews the food he doesn’t like across the … Continue reading

Loving the Little Years – Review and Giveaway
Every mother with small people should read “Loving the Little Years.” Several times. Yearly, even. The mother of 5 children five-years-old and under, Rachel Jankovic knows what she’s talking about and brings refreshing perspective on “motherhood in the trenches.” It … Continue reading
Teaching Our Children to be Thankful for Their Food
“O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever… Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever” (Ps 136:1 and 25). The Israelites complained about the food God gave … Continue reading
