What’s happening in your home today? Is everything piling on top of you--laundry, dishes, and teaching the children all waiting to be accomplished? Don’t despair, dear mother. Don’t look at everything waiting to be done. Just tackle one job at a time. Keep plodding on. Priorities first.But do each task with ALL YOUR MIGHT. Not half-heartedly, grumblingly, or lazily. And teach your children to do their chores with all their might, too. Inspire this attitude in them as they see the way you work in the home.
The Bible always shows us the way:
Ecclesiastes 9:10: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy MIGHT.”
Colossians 3:23, 24: “And whatsoever ye do, do it HEARTILY, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord Christ.”
Colossians 3:17: “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, DO ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, GIVING THANKS to God and the Father by him.”
1 Corinthians 10:31: “Whatsoever ye do, do all to the GLORY OF GOD.”
Philippians 2:14: “Do all things WITHOUT MURMURING.”
Matthew 25:21, 23 and Luke 16:10: “He that is FAITHFUL IN THAT WHICH IS LEAST, is faithful also in much.”
Enjoy a great day in your home today as each one does everything with all their might.

I posted yesterday about living in the true reality, the reality of the heavenly world. How can we practically do we do this?
The reality of life is our day-to-day responsibility to manage our homes, feed, nurture, and train our children, and everything else that clamors for our attention. But there is another reality, a reality that has the power to affect our daily life in our home. It is the reality of the heavenly.
The words we speak to one another either build up or destroy our marriage.
Do something purposeful to strengthen your family life today.
They have a powerful work to do as they raise their children for God.
We are all familiar with the above picture. Wherever we go in the world we know which restroom to enter by the picture. It is amazing that even in this deceived culture every restroom represents the man’s room with the picture of the pants and the women’s restroom with the picture of a skirt.
I was talking to my husband in the car tonight as we are traveling and he said these words: “Women are exalted in their femininity but degraded when they take on masculinity.” Yes, it is true.
This is happening right now. We are living in a world of lies and deception. Our young people are being educated against all truth. But truth is more powerful than lies. We must begin educating our young people with the truth, boldly proclaim the truth, and live the truth more passionately than we ever have before. Who is with me?
The kitchen is where we do a lot of taste testing, isn’t it? We have to taste the meals we create to make sure they are palatable and have a great flavor.
Each new baby is created in the image of God. Each new baby is unique and there will never be another baby like them in the whole world. Each new baby is exquisitely beautiful. The most beautiful gift you could ever receive.
I read this beautiful promise the other day in Psalm 47:13: “For he strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.”
Your table in your home is not only a place to eat some food and run.
Yesterday we talked about mothering with zeal. However, I must mention that this kind of mothering attitude will get you into trouble. Are you ready for this? The description of Jesus in John 2:17 is taken directly from the prophetic words in Psalm 69:9 (ESV): "Zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.”
Dear mother, you are in the greatest career that God has given to women. There is no greater way to influence the righteous destiny of the nation than raising godly sons and daughters. Don’t weaken your power and influence by leaving your home. You will not only influence this nation for good but determine the outcome of future generations.
I usually do early voting but this year I decided to vote ON THE DAY. And I wish that I could vote with a paper ballot. We know that the dems will be doing everything they can to steal this election as they did last time, and machines cannot be trusted.
Dear wives and mothers, you are doing a wonderful work as you build your home and family for the Lord. In fact, we should daily keep in our minds what we are doing--building a house to God. We should have no other motive. I am sure you think of your home as "the house of the Lord" for God longs to dwell in your home and fill it with His presence.
The beautiful High Priest’s robes. They were made for glory and for beauty. Do you notice the shoulder pieces on each side of the ephod? Inside each pouch was an Onyx stone and on each stone were written the names of the children of Israel, the names of six tribes on one side and the other six on the other side, all in birth order.
Alexander Maclaren writes: "Unless religion is communion, it is nothing." True Christianity is a relationship with a person, Jesus Christ, but it is also relationship with one another.
What makes does a door swing open? It's the insignificant hinges that we hardly ever notice. And yet without the hinges the door cannot open or close. And so it is with our daily life. It cannot function without the seemingly common and insignificant things of life.
