HOW CAN WE PRAY FOR YOU?

 Carry one another’s burdens; in this

way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2CSB

Everywhere you look, you see someone hurting. Someone dealing with health issues. Someone facing a broken relationship. Someone grieving. Someone battling an addiction. Someone lonely. Someone overwhelmed. The list goes on and on and on. People are hurting.

We are called by God to carry each other's burdens. Not in a way that they become our burdens. Just as it is easier for two people to carry something large and heavy as it distributes the weight and makes carrying the item easier, carrying each other's burdens can lighten the heavy load someone carries. We do this by lifting people to God. By being a shoulder to cry on or helping hand. And by showing love and compassion.

Sometimes, the someone who is hurting is us. We are facing a multitude of pain ourselves and desperately want someone to carry our burden. To hold our hand and lift us to God.

Today we are going to do just that.

How to Make Your Child's Room More Teenager Friendly

Contributed post

As your children grow, their interests and needs change. So when it comes time to transition from a child's room to a teenager's room, you may feel overwhelmed with making sure the space is teenager friendly. After all, teenagers need a place that reflects their personalities and interests while providing enough privacy and comfort. So let's break down how to make your child's room more teenager friendly!

Understanding Your Teenager's Interests

The essential part of creating a teenage-friendly bedroom is understanding what your teen likes and enjoys. Start by talking to them about their hobbies, interests, favorite colors, or anything else they would like in the room. It is essential to understand the style that appeals to them so that you can create an enjoyable environment for them. Once you have an idea of what your teen likes and doesn't like in terms of style , you can begin planning ways to transform the space into one that will meet all of their needs.

Creating Space for Socializing

Teenagers often enjoy having friends over for sleepovers or movie nights. To ensure their friends feel comfortable in their bedroom, try adding seating or other areas to hang out together. Depending on the size of your teen's bedroom, this could mean getting creative with furniture placement or adding additional pieces such as beanbags or floor pillows. Adding these elements will make the space more inviting for your teenager and any guests they may have over in the future.

Adding Color & Personal Touches

To make the space unique to your teen, incorporate some of their favorite colors into the room. This could come in the form of paint, wallpaper, blankets, or other accessories. You can also add personal touches, such as putting up posters or photos that represent what they are passionate about or have an emotional connection with. To take it a step further, you can have custom stickers made where your teen can add their name or a meaningful phrase that reflects their personality. If you are wondering where to print stickers, there are some incredible options online where you can create custom stickers and have them delivered to your doorstep.

Ample Storage Solutions

Teenagers tend to have a lot of belongings, which can often mean clutter in their space. To keep the room neat and tidy, ensure you provide your teen with enough storage solutions. This could be anything from bins to cabinets or even wall cubbies where they can store all their items. It would help if you also considered incorporating open shelving and baskets to contain items they use often. Having sufficient storage in the room will help keep it organized and looking clutter-free.

While transitioning from a child's bedroom into a teenager's bedroom may seem intimidating at first glance, it doesn't have to be! By understanding what makes your teen happy and incorporating those elements into the design of the space, you can create an inviting atmosphere that allows them to express themselves while still providing them with enough privacy and comfort. With these tips in mind, you'll be able to ensure your child's room fits their changing needs perfectly!

A GIFT FOR YOU

 


Picture this. You are meeting with a dear friend for lunch and want to bless her with a thoughtful gift. You head to store you know she enjoys. You browse the aisles looking at everything very carefully. Then, you spot it. The thing you know will bring a smile to her face and joy to her heart. It is the perfect gift for her.

You make your purchase and then head home. You carefully wrap the gift and lovingly place a big, beautiful bow on top. As you step back, you smile because you know the smile it will bring to your friend. Excitement bubbles as you enter the café and you spot your friend seated at a table.

You place the wrapped gift in her hand. She says, "Thank you!" and sets it down. But she never opens it. All through lunch the gift sits there, still wrapped. When you rise to leave, your friend never even picks up the gift.

We are that friend.
