This Dad Put a Mic on His 4-Year-Old Son And It's the Cutest Thing Ever

So God Made a Mother Collection ➔

My little guy turns two this week. I’m already an emotional mess over this (seriously time, why do you fly so fast?) and then I saw this video, and my heart MELTED.

@howtohockey put a mic on his 4-year-old son Mason during hockey practice.

And you guys, it’s the sweetest dang thing. This dad simply wanted to know what his son was thinking while on the ice, and I dare you not to melt.

I want to squeeze this kid and he’s not even mine.

Watch for yourself, and chuckle along with this goodness. Because the world needs more of this kid.

While I Wait for Another Door to Open, I’ll Hold One For Someone Else

In: Faith, Living

Woman teaching another woman by computer

I’m waiting for another door. All my life, I’ve been told that when God closes one door, He opens another. And here I am, staring at the imminent end of the business I’ve built from nothing. Closing down what I started up from sheer willpower, too much caffeine, and the bold determination to work for myself. Scratching out what I made from scratch . . . and it feels horrible. God didn’t just close this door. He slammed it shut, boarded the whole thing up, and hammered the nails in where I cannot pry them open. Believe me. I’ve tried....

The Pain of Loving an Addict and the Power of Love

In: Living

Mental health is no joke. Addiction is no joke. In my experience, these things go hand in hand. People often turn to things like alcohol and drugs when they are looking for an escape from reality. And people with certain mental health struggles are more prone to addictions than people without. These behaviors are a cry for help. They are not attention seeking. They are not purposely trying to hurt the people in their life. They are saying in the only way they can they are drowning and they need a lifeboat. And it is hard on everyone involved. Having...

Meeting the One Who Says “I Believe in You” Changes Everything

“I want to major in journalism. I love writing. I want to be an author,” I said. “You can’t do that,” you said. “You’ll never make any money writing. You have to change your major,” you said. I heard the sad, sorrowful flutter of wings of a caged bird. And then silence. Year after year, I allowed you to belittle me, to make me feel ashamed, and to see myself as unintelligent and worthless. When I was small, you felt big. I didn’t know any better because you were supposed to be a safe person. Unconditional love and support? Only...

It’s Lonely Feeling Invisible

In: Friendship, Living

I’ve never known what’s wrong with me. From such a young age, I’ve never had friends. I was never the girl who was invited to the birthday parties let alone the sleepover after the birthday party. Now as an adult, I’m not the girl invited for drinks, moms’ nights out, play dates, or even to listen to a pyramid scheme. RELATED: It’s Lonely Being the B-List Friend I’m not the coworker everyone loves. Or the classmate everyone envies because of her skill. I’m not making waves anywhere I go. Not even with my own family. No aunt, uncle, cousin, or...

I Left a Piece of My Heart in Room 208

In: Living, Motherhood

I walked down the hall, past the rows of bright orange lockers. Past the U.S. history classroom and the eighth-grade science room. The next door was mine. Room 208. As I slipped the key into the lock, I noted the “Bring it on” poster my students fist bump on the way into the room (a fun class routine we started a few years ago). Without thinking, I softly kicked the door open as I turned the knob, knowing the door sticks when it’s hot. I walked inside, scanning the room, taking in objects that have been a part of my...

They Just Played Dolls: Making Foster Children Feel Welcome

In: Living, Motherhood

“Mom,” my daughter whined, “I give up. I can’t do this anymore. She is driving me crazy.” I knew the feeling. It was a familiar one. We were doing a few days of respite care for a girl half our daughter’s age—seven years old—the same age my daughter was when she came to us as a foster child herself. My daughter, now 13, has grown so much in the past six years. When I asked for her help with this foster child, she was eager to take on the responsibility, but it quickly proved a trying task. “Mom, she’s just...

But God is Still Good

“I can’t afford a new one,” I thought to myself as I shampooed another stain. This can’t keep happening. Maybe I made a mistake. I have to make this last. And the couch. And the clothes. And all the things. We are done having babies. The price of food has doubled. It’s astronomical to fill the cars with gas. Things are closing in on me. How can I best serve my family? Survival mode engaged. When I read the news, when I follow the headlines, when I listen to the conversations around me . . . I hear fear. Loss....

I’m the New Mom at the Park

I’m the new mom at the park. I woke up this morning with a goal in mind: to visit the park with my daughter. I looked in the mirror and whispered, “I’ve got this” as my 3-month-old slept peacefully. This little house has been a great shelter for this new mom and her baby, but it’s time to venture out. I’m the new mom at the park. With the stroller filled with way too many things for a 30-minute trip. With the perfectly picked out outfit, hoping to fit in. With the tired eyes and dark circles from waking up...

Dear Body, I’m Sorry I Haven’t Treated You Well

In: Living, Motherhood

Dear body, I’m sorry I haven’t treated you well. After everything you’ve done for me, you would think I’d be a bit more grateful. From running and playing as a child to being on the track team in high school, to carrying three babies, conquering cancer, and more—I should be thanking you. But instead, I’m mostly ashamed of you. I’m embarrassed to try on new clothes in a fitting room because I honestly don’t know what size I am anymore. Having to ask for a larger size of something is a kind of torture I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Trying...
