...a miserable atmosphere. Fill your home with joy, happiness, and a thankful heart instead. Show thankfulness to your husband. Be thankful for your children. Encourage a thankful and grateful spirit in the home, starting with yourself!
Satisfying, supplying, succoring, serving, supporting, strengthening, sheltering, sustaining, showering, and saving from harm.
“A woman’s glory is to reveal the motherly heart of God to watching world.”
Good question, especially when our public schools are becoming more liberal by the day, promoting transgender, alternative lifestyles, Islam, and socialism. Why would Christian parents send their children to be brainwashed by deception and liberalism?
There is a vast land of motherhood waiting for you to explore. Don’t hang around the edges. Embrace it all. And the more you pour into your marriage the more it will blossom.
I wonder if we really understand the power of God’s words that He releases into the universe. He spoke, and the worlds came into being. All it took was for God to open His mouth and speak.
The following is an article from Katie LaPierre. I know you will be encouraged.
CHOOSING JOY
If we are constantly joyless and grumpy, why would our children want to have anything to do with Jesus?
If they don't know Him yet and we claim to know Him but grouch around the house, why would they think knowing Him makes a difference?
I must crucify my flesh hourly and CHOOSE joy.
Choose not to say that ugly thing I want to say.
Choose not to bark at my children.
Why?
Because I want to make Jesus attractive!
In a world full of attractive things to our children's flesh, we have to, with God's help, make Jesus more attractive.
If we show our children that life with Jesus means pouting and whining and discontentment, why would they choose Him over a world that looks like it creates fun and laughter and excitement?
Today when you are tempted to lose it or whine or complain, remind yourself that you represent Jesus to your children.
Remind yourself that you are called to die to self and live for Christ.
There's way too much at stake to constantly feed our flesh. Let's starve the flesh and feed the spirit today!
Let's point our children toward a wonderful, joy-giving Savior!
Abide in Him today and draw from His strength. We need His strength because our spirit is willing, but our flesh is weak.

Eternally Minded Mamas
Picture: Katie with her six reversal babies! Isn’t this so wonderful? Six beautiful children who would not be in this world and who would miss out on the glorious eternal world if she and her husband had not opened their hearts to God’s plan.
We have such a responsibility to lead our children the right way, or we are “blind guides” and both we and our children will fall into the pit (Matthew 15:14).
Are you content in your home? Are you content in your soul? I think it starts in our soul, don’t you? If we don’t have rest and contentment in our soul, how will we have it in our home?
The devil wants our children. He will take the souls, minds, and hearts of our children if we let him. He wants to take them down his road of destruction. We cannot give him an inch, or he takes a mile. We must be fierce guarders of our homes and our children’s hearts.
Here is a wonderful idea from Katie LaPierre:
, Noah (6), Ruby (4), Lydia (3), George (1). Did you notice that they are blessed with six reversal babies? And reversal baby number 7 is due in October! What glorious blessings!
Did you know that the home is associated with healing? In Luke 12:42, 43 Jesus tells a parable of the master of the household who appoints a faithful and wise steward to be in charge of his home and to make sure his servants have food while he is away. This same parable is repeated in Matthew 24:45-47. The word household is “therapeia” in the Greek and means “healing, attendance to medical needs, domestic.”
How do you walk around your home? Do you walk with a spring in your step? Oozing joy and happiness? Pouring out encouragement and blessing? Or does this sound a bit over the top?
Can you imagine what the world would be like if God’s people had not limited their families? The land would be filled with righteousness and the image of God. We would have a landslide for righteousness at voting time.
“A mother is a chalice, the vessel without which no human being has ever been born. She is created to be a life-bearer, co-operating with her husband and with God in the making of a child. What a solemn responsibility. What an unspeakable privilege—a vessel divinely prepared for the Master’s use.”
Don’t you love the words of this hymn?
This is where God planned for children to be nurtured and taught, not in daycares away from their mothers. Children need their mothers.
A young lady asked Colin and me the question, “What’s the answer to a good marriage?”
1 John 3:8 says: “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.” The “works” of the devil? Yes, the devil works. It’s the same word that’s used in Titus 2:5 where we are exhorted to be “keepers at home.” Many versions of the Bible translate this Scripture as “workers at home.” It comes from two Greek words: “ergon” which means “to work” and “oikos” which means “home.” This literally means “WORKERS at HOME.”
Do you embrace your womb as a gift from God? Part of who you are as a woman? A sacred place? Or do you see it as something that does not fit in with your lifestyle? An organ that you would rather make obsolete?AboveRubies
