John and I recently got to speak about Gospel-centered parenting. I remember when my children were little how late afternoon was the hardest time of the day and often I would ask our oldest of five, Allison, who was about nine if she would pray for me. ⁣

There is so much confusion in today’s world on how we should “parent” our children. Multiple books and podcasts abound with a diversity of opinions. Even amongst believers. Friends disagree. And there are more and more parents who come from painful backgrounds themselves with few role models. How are we supposed to raise healthy kids? Who do we listen to? What really matters?⁣

One Word:
Immeasurable Riches

One Verse:
“...so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:7

One Thought:
Father, today I long to dwell on your riches rather than my own wants and needs. Call to mind your riches and help these thoughts of you to be in the forefront of my thinking today.

For years, we gathered with a few families to celebrate Thanksgiving. These memories date back to 1991. Some of these friends are now in heaven, but we are so thankful for these sweet memories. My friend Judy, who is in the Thanksgiving collage, made this verse, which still hangs on the wall at our farm.

Are you gathering with friends or family for Thank

Are you gathering with friends or family for Thanksgiving? Or perhaps spending time alone? Whatever your situation, I bet you wish you had something short and meaningful you could do to honor this day.⁣
You may try something I have found meaningful–a seven-minute devotional you can do alone or with your family. Find the devotional in the link in my bio or on my website: susanalexanderyates.com/blog

It was great to share about Gospel-centered parenting and family discipleship at The Falls Church Anglican Sunday night. My husband John and I had fun doing this together!

One Word:
Warrior

One Verse:
“The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name." Exodus 15:3

One Thought:
Lord, it is good for me to be reminded that you are a warrior. You are not a pushover, or weak. You are mighty. You fight for me. You defend me. You have my back. You are for me.

A recent Thanksgiving with some of our kids—we made a “table cloth” with brown wrapping, and everyone wrote things for which they were thankful forl on it. Some had verses and drew pictures- a happy collage!⁣

One Word:
Sustains

One Verse:
“Surely God is my help. The Lord is the one who sustains me." Psalm 54:4

One Thought:
Father, you sustain me in the tediousness of drudgery or the extreme challenges of life. Whatever I fear - you are sustaining me, my friend, my child. It is your joy to do so!

These are affectionately “my girls." Their husbands were all on our church staff and then sent out to plant churches. We’ve been meeting regularly for about 17 years and have been through lots together. We “get each other,” and I love these girls so much. What a privilege to be Pastor’s wives together!
