Remember What You Teach
I recently took my first big trip without my family since becoming a Mom. I was so excited and busy leading up to the trip that the usual fears and thoughts of "what if" didn't settle in until I sat down on my first flight.
I stared out the window with an uneasy feeling in the [...]
How To Help
We've discussed what you would do differently when your spouse deploys and I love that so many of you are on the same page as I am concerning how to make it through deployments.
My husband has been back for a year now and right now there are no new ones on the horizon. I've spent [...]

Verse 13 says: "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
