Happy Thanksgiving, tween girls! … a season and day of thanks and turkey with those you love.
How about taking a moment to focus on all that you’re thankful for along with thanking God, too.
Psalm 106:1 says, “Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His love endures forever.”
May it be a joy-filled, wonderful day!
So how’s your summer going? Hope you’re doing what you love!
Maybe days at the pool or lake, family bar-b-ques, or movie night and summer sleepovers and staying up late… Whatever you’re doing, it’s sure to be fun!
And, of course, it’s not summer without ice cream, especially on a sweltering hot day… Wouldn’t you agree?
How fun that July is National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday, National Ice Cream Day… Yay!! All the more reason to eat ice cream today!
My favorite is cookies and cream with hot fudge on top.  What’s yours?
So how about celebrating with your favorite ice cream today, and have a fun-filled special day!
Father’s Day is here! Remember what we did for Mother’s Day? How about doing the same for Dad and listing those things you love about him, too?!
Here are a few of mine . . .
So Happy Father’s Day! May you honor your dad in every way. He’s sure to love your list, and how about a huge hug, too, and have a very special day!
It’s Mother’s Day . . . yay!!!
What would we do without mothers?! Well, for one thing, we wouldn’t be here! Moms are special, for sure!
Whether it’s your mom, step-mom, or adopted mom, how about making a list of how special she is and all that she’s done and sharing it with her?! She’s sure to love it, and I’m sure you will, too!
Here are a few of mine . . .
As you honor your mother today, how about doing something special for her, too . . . maybe breakfast in bed, a surprise picnic in the park, or making her favorite dessert!
And if she’s no longer with you, my heart is with you, and may you cherish those treasured memories of her.
So hoping your day’s special, and Happy Mother’s Day to you!
It’s Easter! . . . the day that we celebrate Jesus being raised from the dead, and that day was so great!
So what’s Easter all about? Well, it all starts with God, the one who created the entire universe and us! So after He created Adam and Eve, Adam messed up in the garden and didn’t obey God. And that’s what we call sin which separates us from God, and sorry to say, because of Adam’s sin, we were all born into sin, too.
But we’re meant to have a relationship with our creator, and God wants that, too. And God’s so amazing, He came up with a grand plan . . . that is, having His son, Jesus, die on the cross for our sins, so by receiving Jesus into your heart you can have a relationship with Him. And that means you can connect with Him every moment of every day and throughout eternity, and how cool is that!? So if you haven’t done that already, I hope that you will!
So Happy Easter to you, and remember to thank God for all that He’s done, and enjoy your day with maybe some fun bunnies and Easter eggs, too!
So who doesn’t love wildlife? . . . all those plants and animals that exist without humans and live in the wild. From bamboo and banyan trees to redwoods and all. And all the animals so unique… from the giraffe’s long neck and the trunk of an elephant to the spots on a leopard and the chunky rhinoceros, too. It’s amazing how many, and some so funny, too!
So what’s this day all about? Well, it’s about raising awareness of all the wild animals and plants in the world and our need to protect them and live peacefully with them, too. How cool there are so many. Could God be any more creative when He thought them all up?
And which do you love most? How about taking a moment and thinking on your faves and how they add to our world, and while you’re doing that, a happy World Wildlife Day to you, too!
Hey tween girls! Did you know you were created to make a difference in this world? That God, your creator, has a purpose for your life? And if you don’t know what it is, make sure you’ve invited Jesus into your heart as that’s how you connect with God, and then ask, and He’ll tell you. Just listen to your heart, and know it’s what you love to do and makes you, YOU! And how cool is that?!
So what things do you love doing that can help others, too? How about making a list . . .
I’m sure you can come up with more!
There’s just nothing better than making someone’s life better and putting a smile on their face.
So have a happy Make a Difference Day, and hope you do exactly that! In fact, how about even doing so every day after that?!
Hey, tween girls! It’s another special day . . . National Grandparents Day!
Our grandparents are rather important, since without them, we wouldn’t be here! And so fun we have two sets of them, too! Although, some of you may also have step-grandparents, too 🙂
One of my grandmothers went to heaven the week I was born, but I loved hearing stories about her. And I have sweet memories of the others, especially family vacations together and holidays, too.
In my book, The Heart to Dance, Alexis has a close bond with her grandmother, Numsie, since they both love to dance. And since Numsie lives in Paris, the times they connect are special.
I’m hoping you’re close with your grandparents, too, and that you spend time with them today, honoring them, or maybe chatting on FaceTime. And if they’re no longer with you, how about reminiscing special times you had with them with your whole family, too!
Wishing you a Happy Grandparents Day, and have a sweet, fun day!
