“You are our letter, known and read by everyone” (2 Corinthians 3:2). In our homes and everywhere we go, we should reveal the character of Jesus for people are reading us. And how do they read us? Through our faces. Let’s not hide the glory of God.
Oh how true. To gather family and friends around your table is one of the most enjoyable things in life. How wonderful to share, fellowship, discuss, tell stories, laugh, and even cry together. My favorite times of every day, especially as we end our meals with reading God’s Word and praying together.
Are you off to church today? We need one another more than ever, don't we?
One of the names of our God is the “God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3). Did you notice that He is the God of ALL comfort? We need God’s comfort in different ways as we face different situations in our lives. But there is nothing that is too painful for God’s comfort.
Have you thought much about salutations? They have power to affect people’s lives. What do you say when you greet your husband each morning? I am sure you start with the wonderful words, “I love you.”
Did you know that 130 million people will starve this coming year as a result of the economic damage from lockdowns? Awhile back I posted a note about the GREAT BARRINGTON DECLARATION? In case you missed it, I am posting it again. The GREAT BARRINGTON DECLARATION is a petition you can sign if you are concerned about the continuing lockdowns in our nation. You can read about it and then sign the petition by going to the following link:
Dear precious ladies, we don’t stop mothering when our children leave the nest. We increase in mothering. It won’t be long, and grandchildren will come. These years go quickly and then another generation begins.
We sang this hymn at our Family Devotions this morning. Powerful words for these times.
As Colin and I were walking down Pennsylvania, going home from the Trump Rally I noticed the First Amendment written in huge letters on the side of a building. I was so blessed to see it and to think this is what we had come to DC for, to stand up for our freedom. Here it was written plainly for everyone to read and yet it is being pulled out from underneath our feet!
There are so many things to accomplish in your home as a homemaker, but remember, your greatest role is as a mother. When everything is piling on top of you and you don’t know how you’ll do it all, remember you are a mother first. It doesn’t matter if your windows aren’t cleaned. Sit down with your children and read them a story. Enjoy your baby. Take time with your children. #mother #mama #motherhood #ilovemotherhood #powerofmotherhood #joufulmotherhood #gloriousmotherhood #gloryofmotherhood #aboverubies #nancycampbell
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 trouble with our way of educating is that it does not give elasticity to the mind. It casts the brain into a mold. It insists that the child must accept. It does not encourage original thought or reasoning, and it lays more stress on memory than observation.”

THE YEAR THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

What are you filled with this Christmas? Many folks have cars filled with gifts, homes filled with decorations, tables filled with food, and stockings filled with things we will never use. We are filled to over the top. However, when we read about the birth of Jesus, we find that instead of being filled with the things of the world, they were filled with the Holy Ghost!
God told Simeon that he would not die until He had seen the Messiah! When Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple to present Him to the Lord, Simeon knew from God that this baby was THE MESSIAH for which he had been waiting. He took Jesus up in his arms and proclaimed: "For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A LIGHT TO LIGHTEN THE GENTILES, and the glory of thy people Israel" (Luke 2:26-32).
Oh, come and see what God has done! How did He come? How did God choose to send His Son? We immediately think of how He came as a little helpless baby. But first He came into a womb, the womb of a young virgin. Luke 1:31 states: “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy WOMB, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” Who could ever dream of such a thing? Our Savior, Jesus Christ related to every aspect of our humanity, even to being conceived and growing in the womb of a woman.
We are currently in the season of remembering the most wonderful celebration in the history of the world--when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to this earth as a little baby. We know that this was not the actual time of his birth, but it could have been the time of His miraculous incarnation.
Apart from the official Hanukkah celebration, we read about a number of dedication celebrations in God's Word.AboveRubies
