God is Close to the Broken-Hearted
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit
~ Psalm 34:18
"Dear sweet mother, why do you cry?
Don't you know that your God is nigh?
He is closer to you than your very breath,
He will never forsake you, not even in death.
He created you for His joy and pleasure
And has chosen you as a special treasure,
He has graven your name on His very own palm,
He'll come to your aid with His mighty right arm.
He is your Source, He will fill your cup,
When you are down, He will lift you up.
You don't have to stay sad, for He is your Joy,
He'll help you to conquer those things that annoy.
God has given you children, which are your glory
To enrich your life and help write your story,
You're in God's perfect will for this is your calling,
He'll help you each day and keep you from falling.
You can't do it alone for your strength is weak,
Trust in the Lord and things won't seem so bleak.
Look to the Lord, not the problems you face,
You'll be amazed the way He gives you His grace.
A joyful mother is what He wants you to be,
Filling your home with gladness and glee,
Counting your blessings and praising the Lord
For His daily mercies and love out-poured."
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
~ Psalm 30:5

A love that Multiplies - A new book by the Duggars
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are the parents of 19 children.
How exciting their lives must be.
It is so great that they would take time out of their busy lives to write a book like this to encourage others.
They have a brand new book coming out soon
Product Description
In this second book from the Duggars, they focus on the principles that equip them to face life's challenges—drawing from their most recent challenge with the 3-month premature birth of their newest child, Josie. They also share the new challenges their older children are facing as they prepare for adult life. Central to the book is a section on the principles that the Duggars have consistently taught their children. These simply worded principles are basic to the Duggar family and are shared in a way that other parents can incorporate in their own homes. A special chapter on homeschooling gives valuable information to parents who are considering this route or are already invested in it. The world continues to be amazed by their nineteen well-groomed, well-behaved, well-schooled children and their home life, which focuses on family, financial responsibility, fun—and must importantly, faith. The Duggars show how parents can succeed whether they’re rearing a single child or several.
