As spring approaches in the Northern Hemisphere and Autumn here in the Southern I am reminded of the gift of love bestowed upon humanity 2,000 years ago when our Heavenly Father gave His Son so that we may live. I am gently reminded by the changing seasons that He is faithful and that my Lord has called me to pass on that which I know faithfully to my children. One of the easiest ways to do so is to create family traditions for significant events in the church calendar in order for my children to have ‘pegs’ to hang their faith upon. So today the Crew would like to share some of the resources they use to bless their families.
