The Compliment Journal

Posted on September 25, 2018 by Kevin HarrisJanuary 9, 2019
Compliments Only Book

Occasionally, someone will give you a compliment that really makes you feel good and means a lot to you. Years ago, I received such a compliment and I decided to write it down so that I wouldn’t forget it. After writing it down, and reading it again, the good feeling that it mustered up inside of me reminded me of another time I had felt that way. It was from … Continue reading →

Helping Your Kids Learn Gratitude

Posted on August 30, 2018 by Sharee HarrisAugust 30, 2018

Every word that came out of my kids mouths was negative. And if I really thought about it, I wasn’t doing much better myself. A couple years before this, my husband had mentioned that he felt like we should move to Colorado. My reaction? To put it mildly–I bit his head off. How could he think of such a thing!?! We had a home that we had spent countless hours … Continue reading →

How Much Do You Protect Your Children?

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Sharee HarrisAugust 17, 2018

As a parent you want to give your child the best life possible, to protect them. But even with your best efforts, things happen that you can’t do anything about.  Sometimes you are meant to step back and let them work through it. My oldest son had a condition called Pectus Excavatum, also referred to as a sunken chest. Many live with this condition. My son was embarrassed by it and … Continue reading →

Blessings Surrounding Our Son’s Surgery

Posted on August 13, 2018 by Kevin HarrisAugust 12, 2018

I think one of the most heart wrenching experiences a parent can have is seeing their child suffering and not understanding why. You just want to take away their pain and tell them that it is going to be alright. It is a blessing that we have doctors and hospitals that can help, but often going to a hospital can be a stressful and even traumatic experience–especially for a child. … Continue reading →

Writing to God

Posted on August 9, 2018 by Sharee HarrisAugust 9, 2018
Dear God Letter

I wasn’t really sure how I felt about God anymore. I was burned out and tired, wondering where God was. I thought I had done everything he asked, yet my life appeared to be spiraling out of control. My husband was underemployed, I didn’t know how we were going to pay our bills, I was struggling with some health issues, and my depression was worsening. I had always tried to … Continue reading →

Recent Miracles in Our Life

Miracles in Our life

I’ve occasionally felt God’s influence in my life, but the events that led to us moving to Colorado in 2010 were truly miraculous. This article was written Dec 30, 2009. It all actually started a few years ago when my husband mentioned looking for a better job out of state. I was furious with him. We had just spent so much time and money fixing up our house (more than … Continue reading →
