“When God lays a new-born babe in the arms of a mother, he says to her heart, "Take this child and nurse it for me and I will give you your wages." The answer of maternal love should be, ‘Oh God, you have put your noblest workmanship into my hands. I accept the precious trust. I will shelter this young life under your mercy-seat. I will be truthful that it may never learn falsehood. I will nurse this soul in its infancy with the sincere milk of love, that in after years it may bear strong meat for strong service of God and righteousness.“Oh, Heavenly Father, make my life in harmony with yourself, that this young life may reflect your blessed image in following my example!’”
To such pious fidelity—God offers the highest wages; he pays the heart's claim, in the heart's own coin.”
~ Theodore Cuyler, 1896

Dear mother, Sometimes you think you are not accomplishing very much in your home! But be encouraged, you are doing a great work. Great things are a combination little things. Every day you are doing little things that are adding up to big things. Every smile and cuddle you give to your children is filling up their tank of security. Every encouragement and affirmation you give them each day is preparing them for their future. Every seed of truth from God’s word that you speak into them throughout the day is a seed that will grow into a full tree as you keep watering it. Every prayer you pray for your children is going up before the throne of God as incense!
Tomorrow Colin and I drive to Pensacola along with loads of other members of our family.
Do you receive the daily newsletter from Rebecca Lavrenz, THE J6 PRAYING GRANDMA. I would encourage you to get this. Here is a little snippet from the other day:
(A Testimony from an older grandmother).
This post reminds of the quote: “worrying is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”
Don't despise preparing meals for your family. Wonderful things can happen at your meal table as you come with joy and expectancy!
The other Sunday morning we were singing the worship song, “Glorify thy name in all the earth.”
Dear mothers, we must be truth seeking mothers. We must know the truth and impart the truth of God’s Word to our children. They must be children who know the truth in the midst of this deceived society. It is the truth that sets us free. It is only the truth that exposes deception. The truth will always win out. Don’t give up. Keep holding on to truth. Be a truth seeking, truth loving, truth keeping, truth upholding family.
Serene Allison gave a powerful message to the ladies at the retreat on Passionate Marriage.
The great evangelist, D. L. Moody and his wife, Emma, also enjoyed a beautiful marriage together. A niece wrote: “Aunt Emma and Uncle Dwight were so perfectly one that nobody could possibly me tell which was the one.”
Charles Haden Spurgeon, known as “the prince of preachers” and his wife Susannah enjoyed a beautiful marriage together.
Do you want your marriage to last to the end? Start building into it now.
It’s the best. Not the easiest but the BEST! And you are in the perfect will of God.
That means we will not be intimidated by the subtle deceptions of this age. Instead, we will seek God’s ways, we will seek to know His truth, and walk in it. We will be a God-fearing, God-loving, God honoring, devil defeating household of God.
At least this child knows right from wrong. But why would godly parents want to send their children to a school where they are going to be brainwashed with transgender ideology which is totally against the way God created us? Surely Christian parents would want their children to be daily affirmed in God's truth instead of sending them off to sit in the "counsel of the ungodly" (Psalm 1:1).
1. When a mother leaves her home for another career, she leaves the sphere God intends for her. God gave us His plan at the very beginning in Genesis and it hasn’t changed. When Eve woke up to life, she woke up in her home, the place where God wanted her to be. God created Adam before the home but didn’t create Eve until He had the home ready for the woman.
Your worth is in who God created you to be. You are a woman, a female, by God’s sovereign plan and design. It is as a female you will fulfill the destiny God has for you in this life. Embrace your womanhood and femininity with all your heart.
