posted by 1 Comment

Be “busy” at home?  Doesn’t being busy have a negative connotation?  The world says being busy is not good.  “Being too busy causes stress.”  I’ve even read part of an article that suggested several words should be banned from our vocabulary, and “busy” was one of them. But our LORD says: Titus 2:3-5 (NIV) “…the [...]

posted by

“We told our girls who have heart’s desire to marry that they should, ‘Wait on the LORD to bring you a husband. It needs to be the right man, and the right time, God’s time.’ And while I agree with that teaching in some ways, in other ways it is creating older daughters who are [...]

 “Wherefore come out from among them, and separate yourselves, saith the Lord, and touch none unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17 How are we to “separate ourselves”?  Would it be that we hide away, never coming in contact with the ungodly among us? 1 Cor. 5:9-11 tells us that to do [...]

Thankful Homemaking!

“Do not be deceived” is written in the Word several times.  John 10:10 says “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…” If we have no joy in homemaking, we have been deceived, and stolen from.  Satan is attempting to kill and destroy us!  But!… Jesus came that we “may have life, and [...]

Do you recall a time that you have, perhaps in the early morning, sat down at the computer, picked up an interesting book, settled into the couch with a hot cup of coffee before the busyness of the day, even called a friend, or anything except that of reading the Bible or praying to our [...]

Mother’s Day Blessing Giveaway!

Motherhood.  There is just no better way to spend our days.  There is no place I’d rather be, than in my home and as a mother to my children.  There is nothing we as mothers could do that would glorify the LORD more than being home with our children full-time. “If motherhood were viewed as the [...]
