Rock-A-Bye Baby-calming techniques from Heartlight



Happy First Day of Winter! Aren’t you glad the world doesn’t appear to be ending? : ) Even if it wa , those of us who have put our trust in Jesus have no cause for alarm. Death is only a bridge to Life Eternal. 

I wanted to bring a wonderful blog post to your attention.

 
 
 
My sister Hannah has cared for children in professional environments (childcare centers and nanny positions) for over 8 years now. She has gathered much knowledge from her involvement in the care and raising of all those little ones, and I’m so glad she decided to share some of it with us lesser ones. : ) As a caregiver of children myself, I can testify that these techniques are tried and proven solutions. Obviously every child is different, and one must acclimate to each situation to provide the best care…but Hannah’s neat approaches do work. Just give them a try!

So head on over to Heartlight and let her know what you think about the Nose Stroke. She would love to hear from you! 

As would I. Your comments genuinely brighten my day and, I’m sure, the days of those other people who visit The Voyage. Thank you for taking the time to stop in. I pray God’s blessings will wash away anything darkening or dreary to your joy this day. Rejoice in the fact that if you are His, you are the daughter or son to the Most Wonderful Father in the Universe! And if you aren’t, rejoice that you can be…this very moment.

It's Almost Winter?!

I know I haven't posted in next to forever, but life has grown very busy for me. What with starting a new job, the holiday season, illnesses, and life in general, blogging has taken a backseat. : )

Can you believe it is almost winter? Here in central NM it feels like the beginning of spring. Birds chirping in the sunshine, warm (and sometimes cooler) winds shaking limbs...the only signs that prove it isn't spring are the calendar, the bare leaves of the scrub oaks and the wilted strawberry plant outside the porch.

I pray that all of you who occasionally visit my blog will have a cheerful holiday season filled with the joy, peace and nearness of our Lord. Stay strong in Him, stay focused on Him, and nothing will be able to move you.

Here's hoping I can think of something interesting to post in the coming weeks. Please don't hesitate to stop by and let me know you were here. I would love to get the chance to know you better. And, yes, that is what our property looked like last winter! I'm not so sure I miss it too terribly...
