Whisper Thy Peace to My Soul
As soon as he received Anna’s telegram, Horatio left Chicago without delay to bring his wife home. Sailing across the Atlantic Ocean the captain of the ship called Horatio to the bridge.

The water is three miles deep.” That night, alone in his cabin..
Qualities of a Good Husband
“Daughter! Get you an honest man for a husband, and keep him honest. No matter whether he is rich, provided he be independent. Regard the honor and moral character of the man more than all other circumstances. Think of no other greatness but that of the soul, no other riches but those of the heart.

It Is Well With My Soul

Are Your Dreams His Dreams?
Is your will Gods own? Is your future, your dreams and desires God’s? And how can you tell? How can you tell if your will is what God desires for your life.

Words: Frances R. Havergal.

“Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.”
This is an old Irish hymn that I absolutely love. My mom sings it all the time and it has been her life hymn. Let God be your strong tower and shield against the battles of the day. He is so strong! Remember that as you..
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?

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..

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
