Cover Them: Bite Sized Prayers for Busy Moms

Cover Them: Bite Sized Prayers for Busy Moms is a gem of a book, especially, if you’re a mom of littles. As the title implies, this is a devotional for moms who don’t have time for devotionals. That’s probably every mom on the planet most days! Here are my thoughts.

Cover Me is a sweet, beautifully illustrated book that uses scriptures and simple prayers to help the busy mom pray for her children.

Cover Them: The Set Up

A year ago, author Britney Frey, started writing down scriptures and prayers with her children in mind. She planned to put it in book format for them. She says that is where it was supposed to stop but she soon realized that moms everywhere could benefit from the power of God’s word and intentional prayers in their own life. As a result, Cover Them is now available to us! The book is broken into 60 days of devotionals. Each day has a verse from the Bible and a 1-2 sentence prayer, in response to the verse, for your children. There are beautiful illustrations on each page and although, it wasn’t likely the author’s intentions, there is space on most of the pages to write your own notes and additional prayers.

Cover Them: Why I Like It

  • The devotions are bite sized. It takes less than a minute to read and respond and yet their simplicity is packed with so much intention. For example, day 8 was a prayer for our child’s faith. It can be so easy to let off the gas pedal in our prayers for our child’s faith but this should be our greatest, most consistent prayer for our children.
  • As a result of this book, I am actively praying for my children daily. My eldest is 7 and this is the first time I can say that I am praying for my children consistently.
  • The illustrations are precious. I mean…look at this!Cover Me is a sweet, beautifully illustrated book that uses scriptures and simple prayers to help the busy mom pray for her children.

Cover Them: Who is it For?

I think any parent  would appreciate this book. If you are looking for a book for a new mom or a gift for baby dedication, this is a great one.  I imagine grandparents would love this as well to help intentionally pray for their grandchildren.

Cover Them: The Bottom Line

Cover Them is a sweet, beautifully illustrated book that uses scriptures and simple prayers to help the busy mom pray for her children.

Early mornings are very sacred for me as it’s about the only time I have alone before the busy and crazy ensues. I have a very small window of time between when my alarm goes off and I sit up in bed and when my children come bounding down the stairs. This sweet little book is just enough to turn my heart and prayers to God. It helps to start my day with a focus of raising my littles to love, serve, and share Jesus.

And I love it!

I love it so much that I want to give away a copy of the book and this beautiful canvas bag that so resonates with me.

Kindness is not weakness. Kindness is strength in Kindness is not weakness. Kindness is strength in action. 
Today we’ll walk for a friend we’ve never met but today he would have been 26. 
His life was snuffed out not because of anything he did. Rather, because his skin color was *wrong*. So today we walk because our skin color is *right*. And we just can’t take these lies any more. 
Because kindness can be shown  with words but it flexes its strength when it moves. When it stands up for others who are created equal but not treated equal. 
Today we walk with our brothers and sisters of color—beautiful color—who need to be heard. Need to be seen. 
Who need to walk/run/jog/laugh/smile/enter a room without fear that their life may be in danger. 
My children will learn that kindness is strength in action. And it starts today— with a walk.  #ahmaudarbery

“Dom. Charlee. Come meet your baby brother, Devi “Dom. Charlee. Come meet your baby brother, Devin.” My 4 year old son and 18 month old daughter peered at the little red ball yawning and stretching in my arms. “Can I hold him mommy?” Dom held out his arms to hold his new little brother. 
Throughout the day, he came over to stare at his sleeping sibling; offering  hugs before rushing off to play. 
Charlee was equally smitten. With her own baby in her arms, she followed me wherever I went. When I changed the baby’s diaper, she changed her baby doll’s diaper. When I rocked Devin, she rocked her own bundle of joy. 
A family of five felt wonderful. Until—“Mommy, I don’t feel well.” Marshall took Dom to the Doctor. I put my fretting to good use while rocking the baby with Charlee by my side. “It’s pneumonia,” read the text. 
A few days later, Charlee began tugging at her ears. “Looks like an ear infection,” said the dr. “I’ll prescribe an antibiotic.” Worried about the baby, we began Operation Sibling Quarantine. Too late. 
Devin tested positive for RSV at two weeks old. 
Little did I know this was just a taste of what was ahead for our family. Dom would get sick. Two days later, Charlee would come down with a fever. Two days later, I wouldn’t feel so hot. The cycle continued—each family member generously taking his turn with a bout of sickness. “What are you doing?” Marshall asked. 
I stood facing our wall calendar. “I’m tracking who gets sick. Maybe it’s not as bad as it feels.” A month in, I stopped. It was as bad as it felt. 
The struggles extended into nap schedules, car seat arrangements, laundry, bathing, and clothing our family. “It’s our third baby! Shouldn’t we know what we are doing by now?!” At a MOPS meeting, seated across from a mom of three grown boys, I got my answer.
“It takes at least a year to find a new normal after having a baby. Every time.” She continued, “Every time a child is added into the picture, the entire family will need to get a handle on the changes that come with the new addition.” Oh.
