Being a grandmother and needing photos of children for this post I chose to use my two darling great granddaughters. Two of the more recent quotes I've read about children are: “The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But our culture applies for curses and rejects blessings.” ~ Doug Phillips "I am going to…

We’ve had a lot of very good teaching in this area. We know many ways to work on our relationship, yet we are guilty of putting it on the back burner to see to “more important” things.

Ephesians 5:33 “Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” Proverbs 14:1 “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” Yup, I decided to tackle this one first. Other than our personal…

Worldly wisdom says we should probably choose one problem area and work on that. When we have that in place we should choose another problem area and work on that.

1 Corinthians 3:19 “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” As I mentioned in my last post, during our yearly planning time in January we found ourselves going in the wrong direction in several areas of our lives.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted – 20 days, to be exact. It’s always been my practice to try to post every week, but I’ve made a commitment to myself not to post just to be posting, but to wait until I think I have something worthwhile to say. We had our yearly planning time…

All family members can use the same account, but you would sign in under the name used to register. They have a long list of companies that they work with and there is some free shipping for stores they don’t include on their lists as well.

Seems odd to say last year, but it actually was last Christmas that I really got into ordering online. I have some people who are out of state and it was great to have things shipped right to them rather than having to package them and make a trip to the post office. But as much…

I am finding great satisfaction as I take care of the small things in my home. I feel like I’m being faithful in some of the small daily duties I have as a homemaker.

What do you do when you are getting a late start?

January 5th. I still feel like it was just Christmas yesterday, so how did it get to be January 5th already? For some reason I have been feeling sluggish and lethargic about most of my life lately. In fact I really bottomed out a couple of days ago and was so grateful for a friend that…

I had never heard of this hymn before but we sang it the other night at home group. What will you do with Jesus? Albert B. Simpson, 1891. Jesus is standing in Pilate’s hall, Friendless, forsaken, betrayed by all; Hearken! what meaneth the sudden call? What will you do with Jesus? Refrain: What will you do with Jesus? Neutral you cannot be; Some day…
