I came across a neat resource while wandering the internet this last week. It’s called Splink and is put out by D6 Family.

They offer short, creative family devotional starters and activities for family time.  You can search their database online for activities based on topic or date published, or you can sign up to receive weekly emails from Splink with a week’s worth of activities right there in your inbox.  To sign up for their weekly emails go here.

Hope you enjoy browsing around Splink, and also the D6 website.  They have a lot to offer for families who are wanting to take up their God-given responsibility of discipling their children.

A couple of weeks ago, my husband and 6-year-old daughter and I went with a group from our church to Juarez, Mexico.  In two days, we built a house for a family that had none before we got there.  This was the 9th year our family has participated in a build like this.

It is a great experience for young and old alike, and I am thrilled to give my daughter a way to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a hands-on way.  She loves going each year (this was her third build) and is constantly thinking up ways to raise money for the organization, Casas por Cristo.

Casas recently put together a video that I think does a great job of showing what they do and why they do it.

If you are interested in going, I recommend contacting Casas por Cristo.

You can also send me a quick email and I’ll be happy to chat with you about it.  We’ll be going again next January!
