    Ch. 10 - Filling the Treasure Chest

    Today we are talking about the gift of filling our children's hearts and minds as we would a treasure chest, with things that are good, true and beautiful. Books mentioned: Pilgrims Inn by Elisabeth Goudge The Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson Media Mentioned: Crickey, it's the Irwins! Quotes: "Lucilla knew always, and Nadine knew in her more domesticated moments, that it was homemaking that mattered. Every home was a brick in the great wall of decent living that men erected over and over again as a bulwark against the perpetual flooding in of evil. But women made the bricks, and the durableness of each civilization depended on their quality, and it was no good weakening oneself for the brick-making by thinking too much about the flood." - Pilgrims Inn "And the Paper Dolls flew... into the little girls memory, where they found white mice and fireworks, and a starfish soap, and a kind granny, and the butterfly hairslide, and more and more lovely things each day and each year." - The Paper Dolls This episode is part of our series on the book Motherhood Unplugged, available here.

    Chapter 9: Perfect Love drives out Fear

    The dominant feeling I hear from parents (and myself!) in relation to technology and their children is this - fear. We are afraid of many things that might happen to our children in the wake of the world's technological changes. And these concerns are real, and worth taking action about. So how do we get our fear out of the way so that we can move confidently into the future? Join us for this 10 minute episode where we talk about just that! This episode is part of our series walking through the book Motherhood Unplugged. We are in Chapter 9 - "Perfect Love drives out Fear." Resources: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything through prayer and supplication, make your requests known to God. And the God of all peace will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7 "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free." - John 8:32
