Hello! Today is:

SEE WHAT'S NEW!

When I began my attempts to gather my daughters together, it was my way of encouraging them to begin leaning on one another, supporting one another. I wanted them to realize that their greatest encouragers were their own sisters, and to begin intentionally to nurture those friendships.

I seem to always look for ways to label or name such ideas, and when I thought of my goal for those days and times, it was an anchor I envisioned. It is no mistake that the Bible often refers to an anchor and the word I chose relates to that idea. I want them to be an anchor for each other, but I also very much want them to come to view  their shared faith, hope in God as their anchor, just as scripture says.

An anchor is something that provides a firm foundation and security. In scripture, the term anchor is used metaphorically to represent God and Faith - that which keeps us steadfast and give us hope during the trials and storms of life. Hebrews 6 tells us that it is our hope that is the anchor for our soul.

More than anything, I want to help nurture their faith and hope so that they will not fear during the storms life will surely bring their way. I want them to see their faith as an integral part of who they are, part of their very ordinary, daily life - in practical ways.

I'm not sure if anchor days will become a regular part of our routine, but whenever it is will surely be a blessing to us all.
