Parenting involves nixing social media
Posted on October 1, 2021 Leave a Comment
By Kristy Solis To post on social media or not to post on social media? This is one of the many decisions we decide as parents. Before my husband and I even fathomed starting a family, for safety reasons, we decided we would not post our children on social media; and we still do not […]

By Kristy Solis One day, I asked her “Do you ever listen to God?” She had a perplexed look on her face and said, “God is quiet.” Then, I asked her “If you do not listen, how do you know when God has answered your prayers?” My daughter said in a matter-of-fact way, “I believe, […]

By Kristy Solis Maybe it is in our human nature, but we think we need to succumb to others or we need to be who others expect us to be. This expectation is even imparted to our children.

By Kristy Solis A friend of our family told us, “The world would be a better place if all families stride to teach their families to be well intention in faith.” Although I consider this less a family lesson and more a call from Jesus for all of us to always act with pure intentions, […]

By Kristy Solis As we continue this journey through this pandemic, let us be companions on this journey. Although this has been a difficult crossroad in life, it has affected individuals in many different ways. Therefore, as we continue, if you have companions or even one companion, it will make this time bearable and worthwhile. […]
