Tips & Tools

From Faithful Families at Home author and pastor, Rev. Traci Smith:

Snuggled Under God’s Wings and Butterfly Hug — Every time there is a traumatic news event, I try and send around some simple prayers and practices. It’s not much, but it’s my small contribution. Download them HERE; distribute as needed. Download and keep on file for whenever you might need it. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayers.
