Motherhood is the most powerful, far-reaching, influential career in the nation! Babies and children cannot survive without mothers. Families cannot survive without mothers. Nations will fail without mothers. It’s time for mothers to come back to the home.
Mother, God has chosen you and you are the BEST mom for your children.
Make sure that everything you believe and teach your children lines up with God’s word.
The devil loves to break up marriages and he begins by putting negative and deceiving thoughts in your mind. You don’t have to listen to them. Resist them in the name of Jesus. Think of the good things about your husband. Thank the Lord for them. Tell your husband the good things you are thinking about him. When you focus on the positive, everything will become positive. When you focus on the negative everything becomes destructive.
“Godliness with contentment is great gain.” A contented spirit brings a peaceful and happy atmosphere to the home.
Don’t let the negative things friends or family may say about you homeschooling or having another baby keep you from your God-anointed task. Motherhood is the greatest career God has given to women. Don’t come down from the great work you are doing.
There is a better way to live than on this lower plane of grumbling and self pity which only hurts you and everyone else around you.
He is bigger than all your problems and frustrations. When you focus on your situation, you will stay bogged in it. When you fix your eyes upon the Lord, He will show you the answer!
God has blessed you to be a mother. It was His plan for you. Embrace it with all your heart. Enjoy motherhood. Live it to the full.
Dear mother, you have the most important and influential career in the nation as you determine the destiny of this next generation—and generations to come. Embrace your calling and do it well.
I am continuing my ABOVE posts for a few days. How important it is to give ROOM in our hearts and minds for the needs of others. God is always looking for hearts that are open and waiting for God speak to them about whom He wants them to bless and minister to. If we are totally taken up with thinking about ourselves, there is no room for anyone else!
As we go into this New Year I would like to encourage you to live above all the troublesome and even petty things that tend to bring you down to live under your problems instead of above them. God says that you are seated with Him in heavenly places. The virtuous and courageous woman of Proverbs 31 is ABOVE rubies, not below. She lives ABOVE her circumstances as she keeps her eyes upon the LORD. Can I encourage you to move into this way of life?
Abhor means to “shudder with horror.” We must not condone evil or compromise with it.
Dear ladies,
Are you gathering your children around you? Think of how you can work together as a team. Think creatively of ideas to do fun things together.
We need God’s strength moment by moment, don’t we? We need it physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually (especially at this time of the year with all the rushing about and everything that must be accomplished). Colossians 1:10-14 tells us that God strengthens us “with all might, according to His glorious power, UNTO all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.” It doesn’t say He strengthens us to do mighty acts, but to be PATIENT! Wow, that’s amazing, isn’t it?
Today I received this beautiful book in the mail from one of my previous Above Rubies helpers. Caitlin Drennan is also a Trim Healthy Mama Coach and has created some delectable (and yet healthy) recipes for Christmas/New Year and special occasions. You will love them. I know you’ll be as blessed by this book as I am.AboveRubies
