Reading and Listening | No. 50

50! It’s bonkers to me how long I’ve been putting together these posts. Check out other Reading and Listening posts here.

Ask the Experts: The Three Big Questions Teenagers Are Asking – Rooted Parent PodcAST

TO LIGHT THEIR WAY – KAYLA CRaig

While Anna had a stomach bug recently, I broke this out and read the prayer for when your child is sick at home. “In every jagged breath and every fever dream, may we remember that we nurture our children because You have shown us Divine love.”

A Vibrant Endurance – TVC

Real Moms Creating in the Margins: An Interview with Callie Feyen

“Tell yourself if you can push one of those grocery carts with a fake car on the front while your kids are in it asking for more Teddy Grahams and can we also get Fruit Loops as you reach for the organic granola, then you can also write a blog post. In fact, that IS your blog post. Tell that. Write that. Make it funny. Make it universal. Make something that makes us all feel seen.”

The Birth of Inconvenience – DesiringGod.org

“Cover the Enemy’s command to go forth and multiply; dull the unseemly spectacle of generating little souls; silence the little giggles, the pattering footsteps, the full-grown harvest. Cover his ears from that word dominion, and hers from glory. Snap their arrows. Break dreams of spawning little soldiers for the Enemy. Picture the disposable “it” as an interruption of better things; the double lines on the test signal downfall.”

Discipline of Desire – Tim Keller

The Longest Night and the Smallest Tree

“In a time where so many of us are feeling world-weary, spiritually slumped, and more than a little cynical, it’s easy to think things will only get darker, only get worse, that the shimmer of light will keep drifting just out of reach. I’m preaching to the choir when I say we’re all limping into the holiday season. We only have to read the headlines or sit with neighbors or look at our own lives to see that grief needles its way among the parties, the baking, and the gift wrapping.”

‘Screen time’ is dumb

“The fact of the matter is that by focusing on screen time we miss the far more important concept that we should be teaching our kids; screen value. Some digital activities are just not a good use of a kid’s time (eg. playing a repetitive, luck-based game) while others provide much greater value (eg. editing a movie, creative writing, FaceTiming with a grandparent, etc.) And context is important to consider too. Digital activities that are appropriate on a long car-ride will likely be different than those on a beautiful spring day when friends are around, or the day before a large school project is due. The most important lesson we can teach young kids is to recognize that some digital activities provide more value at some times than others. This means evaluating each digital activity on its own merit based on the circumstances. I provided many tips in the book on how to evaluate the value of different digital activities.”

I'm Chelsea... a wife, mom and friend passionate about cultivating a rich life with God.

This blog is equal parts family stories, faith reflections and creative delight.

I read a lot. I eat peanut butter every day. I like shopping secondhand. I love hosting people in our home.

Writing helps me pay attention, and paying attention keeps me grateful.

Glad you're here!
