I’m back again with another Thursday Thought followed by a fun family activity/game! Our church uses Orange Curriculum and the theme this month is “Unstuck!” Hope this video content blesses you!
I would love to hear from you–especially if you try the game!
I teach Children’s Church on a weekly basis at Hamilton Hills Church in Fishers, Indiana. During the COVID19 outbreak, we have not been able to meet. So…our leaders began creating fun video content for families. I thought I would share the content I created here on my blog. I hope it blesses you!
I am a guest blogger with Christian Children’s Authors. Check out my review of this T.V. series. I watched and re-watched these episodes during the COVID19 Pandemic and LOVED THEM! I can’t wait for season 2. You can get the free app and watch them on your phone, or right now on You Tube you can also watch them. I highly recommend.

In Quinn Says Goodbye, written by Christie Thomas and illustrated by Sydney Hanson, Quinn meets a new friend, an injured firefly named Blink. She and her mother help the firefly heal. Quinn doesn’t understand why one evening, when she wakes up, Blink is gone. Mama is there to help comfort Quinn and reassure her that God promises to always be with us.
Quinn Says Goodbye is designed to help children cope with grief and loss. It includes a section in the back with conversation starter questions for parents and caregivers, to assist with those difficult discussions that occur in life.
I thought Quinn Says Goodbye was a sweet story, and I loved the illustrations. Quinn’s big eyes!! And the use of light was really eye-appealing. I was inspired to make a Pinterest Board of Owls and FIreflies. Maybe you will like one of the pins and want to try a craft with your child. Here is the link to the board.
I had the opportunity to meet Christie at a writing conference in May. She is full of ideas and energy, with a contagious smile and laugh. I really enjoyed getting to know her!
Christie, I wish you all the best with this book and all of your writing endeavors!
You can purchase book on Amazon and at other book retailers.
