TagBeing a Lady-According to Elisabeth Elliot
“To me, a lady is not frilly, flouncy, flippant, frivolous and fluff-brained, but she is gentle, she is gracious, she is godly and she is giving. You and I have the gift of femininity… the more womanly we are, the more manly men will be and the more God is glorified. Be women, be only women, be real women in obedience to God.”
― Elisabeth Elliot
Making Your Family’s Joy Your Goal
Today, make your family’s joy your greatest goal. Make your sister smile.
Help your brother laugh. Let your mother rest. Make your father proud.
Really try! Set hourly goals in your head and strive to fulfill them.
Only Jesus can help you accomplish this though.You can do nothing on your own.
Ask Him to be a shinning example and light through you. Good luck!

Dreaming About Married Life…
Don’t spend your discontent moments daydreaming about married life. It happens to all of us. We become discontent and harried and look out over that pile of dirty dishes and sigh about the day when you’ll be able to be supper on the table for the man of your dreams- when there’s a guy in your life who needs you, not just to change his diaper or feed him his applesauce.
But…sowing habits of..
Your Kitchen~The Heart of Your Home
~The Kitchen Truly is the Heart of Home~
Everyone loves walking into the kitchen and finding something delicious or refreshing to eat. The most wonderful things are created in kitchens! Everyone walks in and out of the kitchen all day… (in my house at least) The kitchen is the most beautiful room in a house, why? Because so much goes on in there! Little tummies get fed, loved ones are blessed,..
Take My Voice, & Let Me Sing
Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose.
Words: Frances R. Havergal.
I love this second stanza…. Take my voice, and let me sing. Having these words stuck in your head during the day lets you put..
Finding Beauty in Your Home
When your hair is frazzled and the house is a mess; when dinner isn’t cooked and the kids are hyper and creative (in a bad way) how do you see the beauty of homemaking? How do you see beauty in your calling? Ladies, you NEED TO LOOK FOR IT! Look for the little things in your home that make you happy. Look for smiles, look for color, look for GOD. Seeing the light of joy and innocence shine in..
Rather be Morally Right than Socially Correct.
To the U.S Senate in 1950 a famous preacher named Peter Marshall stood up and said:
“I believe women come nearer fulfilling their God given function in the home then anywhere else. It is a much nobler thing to be a good house wife then to be Miss America… The world has enough women who know how to be smart. It needs women who are willing to be simple. The world has enough women who know how to..
A Thirst This World Can’t Satisfy
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It’s not our home
‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the achings of this life
Is the revealing..
Joining in the Mess!
That moment when you walk in a room and the kids have made a disaster of everything!!! Crayon marks on the wall, toys covering every square foot of carpet, pillows and clothes are strewn everywhere. Or maybe the kids decided to try out their cooking skills in the kitchen. Flour and water are covering the counters, eggs are cracked on the ground, the towels are thrown across the room and the..
