Yesterday we talked about being the Watchmothers of our homes. However, there is more to being a “watchman” than guarding your home. We are also responsible to teach and give warning.
God said to Ezekiel: “Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor SPEAKEST TO WARN the wicked from his wicked way, TO SAVE HIS LIFE; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THINE HAND . . ." (Ezekiel 3:18-21 and 33:7-9).
This is a scary Scripture to give you as mothers, but yes, it does apply to us. We have a responsibility to teach our children God’s ways and also to warn them when they walk down a wrong path. It is sad that some parents do not want to confront their children (or teenagers) or deal too harshly with them in case the reject them or don’t like them any more. They would rather let them go on in their sin and wayward path. This is not faithful parenting.
God holds us responsible as parents to give life-giving counsel to our children even if they don’t like it or take heed to it. Do you notice that the Scripture says that we give it "TO SAVE THEIR LIVES"! Yes, their lives here on earth, but more importantly, their eternal destiny!
God’s grace is always abundant and free when there is repentance, but when our children walk in disobedience and away from God’s path, it is time for warning. Paul picks up the words of Ezekiel in Acts 20:26-28 when he says: “Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am PURE FROM THE BLOOD OF ALL MEN. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.”
Paul wrote to the believers to WARN them (Acts 20:31; 1 Corinthians 4:14; Colossians 1:28; 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 4:6; 5:12, 14; and 2 Thessalonians 3:15).
Dear Mother, this is part of your being a watchman. Be faithful to your task. Their blood is upon your hands if you are not faithful to teach them the whole counsel of God in order to save their lives for this life and for eternity.
Be blessed,

I sometimes hear women use Proverbs 31 as an excuse to be career women. They say that this woman was in real estate because verse 16 says: “She considers a field, and buys it.” To purchase land to plant a vineyard is not the same thing as being in a full-time career. Vineyards were part of home life in Israel. They were part of their survival. As this family grew, they needed land to plant another vineyard and so she needed to check out the most sui
Two bright EYES are watching you, Mother and Dad,
"IN EVERY THING GIVE THANKS for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
In Ezekiel chapter 19 we read an allegory. God talks about the tribe of Judah and likens her to a mother. As we read this passage, we understand God’s value of motherhood.
Mother, you are a sculptor, shaping lives to affect the nations. Your influence is greater than you realize. You determine the destiny of your nation. Not only do you influence a nation, but future generations! Not only do you influence future generations, but also eternity. When God gives you a little baby, you hold eternity in your hands! Your children come from God and will go on to His eternal purpose in the eons of eternity. What a privilege we have as mothers to prepare them in this life for their future destiny! 
It’s a dreary life with a quarrelsome wife;
“You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, training them up in God’s fear, minding the house, and making your household a church for God as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of Hosts.”
Dear ladies, Did you read yesterday's post, BIGGER THAN YOU THINK? The truth in this post is essential to living in victory each day in your home. If you didn't get to read it, check it out now. Or if you did, read it again. Sometimes it takes time for the revelation of truth to get into our sousl to become experiential in our lives. 
Our redemption is far bigger than we can ever fathom. Jesus Christ not only died to give us deliverance and forgiveness from our sins, but He became a partaker of our flesh and blood so that we can become partakers of His life ( Hebrews 2:14). His glorious, victorious, perfect, joyful, longsuffering, loving, and powerful (dunamis) life!
The Bible speaks about “the time of life” which relates to us as women. Every month we are blessed with a “time of life.” It is the time of ovulation during our monthly cycle, which can last from five to seven days. This is the time of the month when we can conceive; when we are able to receive life from God.
Paul wrote to Timothy to remind him that he was “the third generation of a strong lineage of faith” (2 Timothy 1:5 Mirror). What a great blessing.
Do not worry, little mother
The following poem is written by a dear friend of mine, Val Halloran. She says: “I wrote this when I was mothering the little people referred to in this poem. Now, in what seems to be a blink of an eye, those "little people" are parenting their own little people. To those in the throws of raising children, savor these precious moments.”
Christ has no hands but our hands to do His work today
Our God is a blessing God. He wants to bless His people. How can He tangibly do this? He wants to use us as a physical expression of His love and compassion. We are His hands and His feet to our family and to the world. We are His smile of affirmation and encouragement to our husbands, children, older people, and the lonely and hurting around us.
I read this morning: “The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases daydreams lacks sense” (Proverbs 12:6 TLV). This is one of the promises we have for provision. Make sure we grow a garden.
Do you feel dead inside? Is the love you once enjoyed in your marriage smoldered and gone out? Are all the beautiful plans for your family life buried in the grave of hurts and disappointments? Nothing has worked out the way you wanted.
Many people today work in jobs that are not satisfying. It’s a paycheck and that’s all. As mothers we are very blessed to be in a job career where we do beautiful things. We are so privileged.
