I was caught off guard when my 5-year-old looked up at me and said, “Dad, we are so rich, aren’t we?”
My mind immediately began to race — thinking of all the things we don’t have that the world might use to define “rich.” In that moment, I leaned down and asked her, “Why do you say that?”
Without hesitation, she said, “Because we have lots of food, we have so many clothes, and we have this house to live in!”
Her words stopped me. But those are just the basics,” I thought...but then God gently convicted my heart. My little girl was absolutely right — and I was so wrong.
She didn’t measure our lives by the standards of the world. She was simply grateful for what we had. In her gratitude, I was reminded of how rich we truly are.
Scripture echoes her wisdom:
“And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” — 1 Timothy 6:8
In that moment, God used a 5-year-old to teach me a profound lesson about contentment. Instead of focusing on what we had or didn’t have, my heart should be fixed on the Giver of every good thing. I have Jesus, what more do I need?
As Paul writes:
“Godliness with contentment is great gain.” — 1 Timothy 6:6
This week, I’m taking the time to write down the blessings I’ve been overlooking. I’m making a list of what I’m grateful for — not just the big things, but the “basics” that are truly treasures. I invite you to join me. Grab a pen and paper and begin listing the blessings around you.
When we pause to see clearly, we realize we are so very rich.
Be Encouraged,
Chad

He loves beyond our imagination.

I’ve often been told by a very wise man—my father—not to ask, “Is this good?” but instead, “Is this best?”
Over the years, I’ve come to understand the profound wisdom behind that question. It’s easy to justify decisions by labeling them as “good.” But if we stop there, we may fall short of the best God desires.
One of my favorite spiritually minded writers, Oswald Chambers, expressed this truth clearly:
“The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.”
There are countless “good” things constantly vying for our time, energy, and attention. But the life of faith doesn’t merely involve choosing between good and evil—it often requires choosing between what is good and what is best.
So how do we know what is best?

Happy Father’s Day to the most gentle, selfless, and devoted dad. 🫶🏻
Each of our children adore you—not just for your warmth and tenderness, but for the quiet strength you lead with every single day. You lead our family by serving, never shying away from the hard or messy moments. When I feel overwhelmed, you step in without hesitation, without complaint—always giving, always present.
We are beyond blessed to call you ours. You are a beautiful reflection of our Heavenly Father, and your love is a gift we never take for granted. 💛

💔This week, we lost the best grandpa anyone could have ever hoped for. 💔He was a man full of wisdom, always ready with a story, a piece of advice, or a witty remark that could make anyone laugh. He had an incredible way of loving people, and what I will miss most is how deeply he listened, always making you feel heard and valued. Some of my fondest memories were spent visiting him on the farm, a place that felt like a sanctuary—a peaceful haven where time seemed to slow down. We shared countless hours on the front porch talking about life, family, and everything in between. Those moments with him were some of the best of my life. His warmth, kindness, and sense of humor will stay with me forever. We are all going to miss him so much, but I find comfort knowing that his love and wisdom will last a lifetime. 💔 I love you, Papa… I miss you so much.

🎈Happy 10th birthday, Charles! 🎈 You are truly the answer to so many prayers. From the moment you were born, you’ve filled our lives with joy, love, and light. You are the kindest, most gentle soul, and watching you grow into the amazing person you are today has been the greatest blessing. Your siblings adore you, and anyone who meets you is drawn to your warmth and sweet spirit. You’re a perfect mix of your dad, both in looks and personality—and that’s the highest compliment I could give. 😊
Your creativity shines through in everything you do—whether it’s through music, art, or the imaginative games you create for your little sisters. Most of all, your love for Jesus is so inspiring, and it fills our hearts with joy to see the way you live out your faith. ❤️
We are so thankful for every moment we’ve had with you, Charles. Ten years with you has been the best gift, and we can’t wait to see all the incredible things God has in store for you. We love you more than words can say! 🥰
✨I realize it is hard to find a picture where you`re not with William - you both are inseparable and that makes me so happy! 😘

I love you. Happy birthday, sweetheart. ❤️
I am so thankful for you; words cannot describe it.
You are so special—a light in a dark place, a rose in a thorny patch, a sun beam on a rainy day, a fresh breeze in summer`s heat, a warm hug on a cold day, a wonderful person in a weary world.
People who know you, both near and far, are better because of you. You choose others over self, giving instead of taking, caring instead of callousness, love over selfishness, truth over lies.
I love you, Erin, and I love EVERYTHING about you.
You make the world a better place.
You make ME a better person.
happy birthday to my BEST friend.
Love always, forever, Chad...your fella 🥰😘

Happy 38th Birthday to the love of my life. From the moment I met you, I knew you were something special, but after over eleven years of marriage, I can honestly say you are the greatest man I’ve ever known. You’ve loved me and our children with a depth that takes my breath away, always serving and giving of yourself without hesitation. You lead us by example, putting Jesus first in everything, and showing His love through your gentleness, kindness, and unwavering devotion.
The love letters you write, the countless nights you’ve spent rocking babies to sleep, the dishes you wash, and the way you remain calm in every storm—these are just a few of the countless ways you pour your heart into our family. You’ve filled our lives with peace, joy, and a love so deep it feels like home. You are our everything, and today, I hope you feel how deeply you are cherished. You are the GREATEST. 😘
