No, I'm not talking about Ebenezer Scrooge! I'm talking about a monument stone that the prophet Samuel erected after God gave Israel victory over the Philistines. He called it "Ebenezer, saying, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us" (1 Samuel 7:12).
What a wonderful affirmation. It's a phrase we need to remember, too. Often we face a new challenge or difficulty and wonder how we'll get through. But, then we remember, God has got me through before and He will do it again! Praise His holy name. As we acknowledge the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord, we are encouraged to know that God will be with us in new trials and tribulations.
Don't forget your Ebenezers. Raise them up like the old hymn writer, Robert Robinson when he wrote, "Here I raise my Ebenezer." You can raise your Ebenezer by raising your hands and thanking God for His goodness and faithfulness. You can raise up something tangible to remind you, such as your Bible (filled with God's promises to you), a picture that reminds you of God's intervention, or some commemoration you have kept.
God has not failed you in the past and He will never fail you in the future. As Joshua proclaimed, "Ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof" (Joshua 23:14).
Raise your Ebenezer!

What a beautiful thing to be a "blessing soul." Proverbs 11:25 says, "The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself." The margin in my Bible says the "liberal soul" is a "soul of blessing." Don't you love that?. It's talking about someone who can't stop blessing people. It's talking about a GENEROUS blesser. And it comes from out of their soul, not only their mouth.
And of course, they are revealing what God is like. He is a Blesser. The first thing God did when He created the man and woman was to BLESS them.
How do we pour out blessing to our husband, children, and those around us?
Bless them with smiles--not just when we feel like it, but smiling to bless them.
Bless them with kind and encouraging words.
Bless them with a listening ear.
Bless them by serving them.
Bless them by doing surprises for them.
Bless them with love and hugs.
Bless them with positivity which uplifts them. A downcast sour face is a wet blanket in the home.
May God help us to be generous blessing souls.

Genesis 49:25 talks about the "blessings of the breasts, and of the womb." Blessings? Yes, God says they are His blessings to us as women. But they are ultimately His blessings to the whole world for without them mankind would come to a screeching halt!
One of the meanings of womb is "a place where something originates and develops." The womb is the commencement of life, the beginning and continuing of generations, the origin of dynasties to come, and also the filling of eternity. Every precious life that is conceived in the womb is an eternal soul who will live forever. The power of the womb is eternal.
Woman is a compound of two words, womb and man. Every woman is a "womb man." Her womb differentiates her from man. Why, then do many women deny their womb? Close off their womb? Makes sure it cannot function? It is the deception of Satan who hates life.
But, not only is the womb a nesting place of life, it is also the source of our emotions and our compassion. It is amazing that the word womb in the Bible is interchangeable between the physical womb of a woman and God's compassion, tender love, and mercy. When we embrace our womb, we not only have the privilege of embracing children, but we have the honor of revealing God's compassion and love to the world.
Embrace the blessing of your womb. It is very much who you are as a woman. Ask your husband to pray God's protection over your womb.

Some time ago I asked if readers would like to share different words they use for a baby growing in the "womb" or meanings of the word "womb." Here are the ones that were sent to me:
“chalice”
“home of compassion” (The Arabic, Turkish, and Hebrew word for “womb” is the same word as mercy or compassion)
“knitting place”
"house of gold"
“garden of life”
“a safe little bubble”
“spaceship”
“heart of life”
"safe haven of love"
“house of life”
“nesting place”
“palace of a child” (This is the Chinese meaning of womb)
“baby’s sanctuary”
“the secret place” (This is what God calls the womb in Psalm 139:15)
“cradle of the unborn”
“God’s creative workshop”
“baby’s first home”
“God’s place to bless”
"hidden glory"
"birthplace of destiny"
"miracle haven"
"home of shelter"
"home of protection"
"sacred place"
“created trinity” Missy explains, We know the “Divine Trinity” as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The “created trinity” represents “created” meaning life is created by our Father in Heaven; and “trinity” meaning it takes a [father] and [mother] to help make [baby].
“mother’s room” Naomi shares, When my son was little, he misunderstood Psalm 139:13 NIV, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb” and thought it was “Mother’s Room.”
“greenhouse”
“my holy place” Tausha (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) writes about her “holy place.”
“I am a mother of six precious arrows in our quiver and I always felt when I had my sonograms that I was looking into one of the most holy places. Just to get a glimpse of what the Creator of the world was creating inside of me always put me in total adoration.
"Every time I would go into have my ultrasounds, I would have to catch my breath at the beauty of my baby, and the rapidly changing development. It always put me in awe. I felt it was like, there was a secret window into to God's holiest of places... my womb where God was creating my baby.
"I believe motherhood and pregnancy is a total GIFT for women. We are so blessed to have our own half dozen and are leaving it up to God on how many arrows he will add to our quiver. I have a dear friend who has nine arrows in her quiver and has total baby fever! They are trying to conceive their 10th!”
“a swimming pool” A mother shares that her little three-year-old thinks his new baby is in a swimming pool!
Marla says, “My daughter would say, "Mama's got a nest in her tummy with an eggie in it and when it hatches, we get a baby!" (Wish it were that simple and easy!)”
“prayer shawl” Nicole Yingling says, “I don't call my womb this, but I do a teaching on the womb as the first tallit, or prayer shawl. If you fold a tallit in half, with the tzit-tzit or tassels hanging down it creates a basic diagram of the womb. The blue stripes around the bottom remind us of the muscles around the cervix which open and close the womb and the tzit-tzit are like the four round ligaments which attach to the sacrum and pelvis to keep the uterus in place. Is it just a coincidence that Abba wants to meet with us under our prayer shawls? Or did He meet with us for ten months in our mother's tallit and being under the cloth tallit takes us back to our secret place with Him?”
Which name do you love?

I know you don't always have time to read all the threads on a post. However, I loved the responses from some of our lovely ladies to this post and want to repost some of them for your blessing.
Wendy Young reminds us of Psalm 39:1 NET, "I will watch what I say and make sure I do not sin with my tongue. I WILL PUT A MUZZLE OVER MY MOUTH." That's what we have to do many times, isn't it? MUZZLE OUR MOUTH! Wendy also reminds us of James 3:2 where it tell us that when we are able to BRIDLE OUR TONGUE, we are able to bridle the whole body and have come to maturity. Controlling our tongues is such a mature thing to do.
Shannon Gunther reminds us that we all have "Two ears and one mouth." Thanks, Shannon. I like that reminder. James 1:19 says, "Let every man be swift to hear, SLOW TO SPEAK."
Kendra Cardwell shared that she had one of her children "copy Ephesians 4:29 10x's yesterday for not using nice words to their sibling." Good idea.
Anna jean McDaniel reminds us of the saying, "Dear Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth!" I love this. Pray it today.
Cynthia Hollis shares, "It's not only what we say but how we say it. Certain things need to be said, but they need to be said in a way that does not degrade or intentionally shame the person we are speaking to. We should shift our words (responses) through God's Word before speaking."
Yes, it is true, that there are times when we have to speak correction and guidance. We can't avoid these times because of wanting to be nice. We have to be faithful to the training of our children, but God can enable us to do it in grace and love.
Cassy Brackett comments, "This seems nice, but hard to even respond with something nice if hubby isn't when in front of the children." Dear ladies, this is the very time we put this principle into practice. It's easy to be nice when people are nice to us. It's easy to be loving to your husband when he is nice to you. But, the crunch comes when he is being nasty.
This is where we MUZZLE OUR MOUTH. This is when we SHUT OUR MOUTH and don't say anything if we can't say anything nice back. And the greatest testimony to your children is to say something nice back to your husband and give him a hug, even in the midst of his ugliness. What a wonderful way to demonstrate the love of God to your children. God's ways are always opposite to how we feel in the flesh. We can either give into the flesh and mouth off, or yield to the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us and respond with love and blessing--or say nothing at all if you can't yet say nice things.
Be blessed.

I have always been convicted by Proverbs 10:19: "In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise." How true it is that the more we open our mouth, the more we are prone to say the wrong thing. It pays to watch our words.
After all these years I am still trying to get into the habit of shutting my mouth. This is my plan: if I can't reply with something kind or positive, I shut my mouth and don't say anything at all.
Can you join with me in this habit of shutting your mouth? On the other hand, don't be silent all day. Open your mouth to say kind, positive, loving, and building up words to your husband and children.
The New Living Translation of this Scripture says, "Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut."

Are you weary? Overburdened? Feel you can't cope? Jesus invites you to come to Him. He promises to give you rest. It's a refreshing rest. The word "rest" Jesus uses is translated "refresh" in other passages.
But Jesus doesn't give you rest by taking away your burdens and all the work you have to do. Instead He asks you to take on another yoke. Really? Yes, but this time it is His yoke. He yokes Himself to you and amazingly takes most of the burden upon Himself. I read about an old farmer using oxen to plough his fields. However, this pair of oxen were most unusual--one was big and one small. How could they possibly function when the yoke was so uneven? It was all to do with how the traces were hooked to the yoke in order for the large bullock to pull the weight for the little bullock who was being trained. In fact, the little one hardly pulled any weight at all as the big bullock took the strain.
This is what happens when we take Jesus' yoke. We still have to face our challenges and difficulties but He takes the burden. He refreshes us even in the midst of all our overwhelmingness. He knows you can't pull the weight yourself. When two oxen are yoked together, they can do what is impossible for one ox to do.
Of course, you'll have to give up your pride and self-sufficiency. When you take Jesus' yoke, you are yoked to One who is "gentle and humble in heart." You won't fit too well if you are proud and stubborn and pull off in your own direction.
And when you take His yoke, He will teach you at the same time. He will show you how to do it His way, rather than your way. He not only invites you to come, but to come and LEARN. He will change you to be more and more like Him as you submit to Him. He will lead you into a deeper rest, a rest in the very depths of your soul.
Dear mother, you don't have to stay in your stressed state. Jesus waits for you to COME. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. "And his commandments are not burdensome" (1 John 5:3).

Recently I read this quote from St. Francis de Sales, "Every Christian needs a half an hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour." Immediately I was convicted and wrote beside it, "This is for me." My life is exceedingly busy each day (as I am sure yours is, too). It's easy to crowd out prayer when there is so much to do in our day and our list is so long. But what's the use of all our activities unless they are bathed in prayer? They are like hay and stubble which will be burned up (1 Corinthians 3:12-15).
It's the same with reading the Bible. The more activities we pack into our lives the less time we have to read God's Word. However, the busier we are, the more we need the sustenance of His Word, don't we? We'll soon get off the beaten track if we don't have daily doses to keep us in the right direction.
It affects our family life, too. When the schedule is full and everyone is going their various ways, it's easy for the family to become fragmented. Once again, the busier the family, the more need to prioritize gathering together as a family. Nothing is more important as gathering around the family meal table each day to connect, fellowship, pray, and worship together. Other things may seem necessary, but they are often detours from the enemy to keep us from God's best.

A hospitable home is like God's home. A welcome home. A "let him take the water of life freely" home (Revelation 22:17). A "come to the waters" home (Isaiah 55:1).
God is an hospitable God and He wants His heavenly home filled. He sent His only beloved Son to die and shed His blood in order to "bring many sons to glory"
(Hebrew 2:10). Because He dwells in us, He wants to reveal His hospitality through us.
Some people think that hospitality is for certain people who have that particular "ministry." No, hospitality is the lifestyle of the kingdom of God. It is a biblical doctrine that starts in Genesis and weaves through the pages of the Bible to Revelation. And mothers, hospitality is an extension of your mothering and homemaking ministry (1 Timothy 5:10).
Your home is your greatest place to serve God. As you open your home to the ones God lays upon your heart, you will never have another boring moment, Your home is the greatest place for people to feel the presence of God. It is the perfect place for lonely and broken-hearted people to experience God's love. It is where you encourage the saints in God and keep each other from going astray. And it is where you can serve God will you continue ministering to your family at the same time.
As Peter exhorts us how to live as we get closer to the coming of the Lord, he says, "The end of all things is at hand . . . Be hospitable to one another without grumbling" (1 Peter 4:7-10).
If God lives in your home, it will be an hospitable home.

It's time to cook supper. "Not again," you sigh. "Why can't I have a break from cooking night after night?" Can I remind you that preparing a meal for your family is not insignificant. It's not a waste of time. It is very much part of your mothering anointing. We see a beautiful description of a godly woman in 1 Timothy 5:10 NASB. The description of her "good works" are, "If she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she was washed the satins' feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work."
The word "brought up" is teknotropheo and means “to cherish, nourish, and give food to children.” This is all about food! This means spending a lot of time in the kitchen! It's all part of the plan. And the bigger they get, the more they want to eat.
Don't do it with resignation, but with revelation. You have the privilege of feeding your children nourishing food. You are gathering them together around your table again. You are preparing the way to also feed them food that will nourish their soul and spirit. You are teaching them about life and passing on values to the next generation.
There is too much fast-food eating in our nation already! If you don't lovingly cook meals at home and pass on this tradition, what will the next generation do?
Make every meal a "love affair."

Why are we so scared to trust God? Why are we so scared to trust Him with our lives when He is the God of the universe? Why do we think we can make better decisions than God when He is Omniscient (all-wise and all-knowing)? I'm not condemning you; I am guilty, too.
I wonder why many couples think that God could not provide for another baby in their family? Is it because we trust in our selves rather than our Omnipotent (all-powerful) God?
How many times have we prayed these lines in the Lord's Prayer? "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11). Do you notice that Jesus didn't teach us to pray, "Give us this day our monthly bread," or even our "weekly bread"? God wants us to learn to trust Him for today, knowing that He will be faithful again tomorrow.
God only sent enough manna for one day to the Israelites in the wilderness. If they couldn't trust God would provide for the next day and gathered extra just in case, it "bred worms, and stank" (Exodus 16:20)! That's what God thinks about our lack of trust in Him.
Let's pray with the hymnwriter, "Oh for grace to trust Him more."

Do you remember when the disciples asked Jesus who would be the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven? Jesus responded by bringing a little child into their midst and said to them, "Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me" (Matthew 18:1-6). Read also Mark 9:36-37 and Luke 9:48.
These words from the mouth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ tell us that our attitude toward receiving children reveals our attitude to Jesus. We are to receive them in His name. Therefore, shouldn't we receive each new baby as though we were receiving Jesus Himself?
It seems strange, doesn't it, that many couples want to receive Jesus and yet don't want to receive a baby from Him. We are not meant to receive children with the attitude, "Well, I guess we'll survive somehow if God gives us another baby."
The Greek word for "receive" is dechomai and actually means, "to accept a gift deliberately and readily, to welcome, to embrace, make one's own, not to reject." This word is used 55 times in the New Testament. One of the occasions is about receiving Christ into the heavens after He left this earth (Acts 3:21). With what joy and fanfare He must have been welcomed back into His heavenly home. This is the same way God wants us to receive children in His name.

Do you always seem to be facing some challenge? Forever going through a difficulty? You can't pay your bills? Can I share a little secret with you? It's actually Paul's secret. He was constantly facing hardships, beatings, shipwrecks, imprisonments, and suffering, but what was his confession? "Always 'going through it' yet never 'going under'" (2 Corinthians 6:9 JBP).
He goes on to say in verse 10, "We know sorrow, yet our joy is inextinguishable. We have 'nothing to bless ourselves with' yet we bless many others with true riches. We are penniless, and yet in reality we have everything worth having."
No matter what you are going through, you don't have to go under. Well, you may, if you trust in yourself and your own resources. But, when you put your trust in God, He will not fail you. He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5-6). He is bigger than your difficulties. No problem is too big for Him to handle. Trust Him.
Trust Him when dark days assail thee,
Trust Him when thy faith is small,
Trust Him when to simply trust Him
Is the hardest thing of all.
When all seems dark around you, the Lord will be your light. Even in the raging torrent He says to you, "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not, I will help thee" (Isaiah 41:10). Even if you fall, you still can't go under. His everlasting arms are waiting to catch you and hold you (Deuteronomy 33:27).

Not only does God give us the privilege of calling upon His name, but He calls us by His name. Isn't that amazing? Daniel 9:19 says, "Thy people are called by thy name." Isaiah 45:4 says, "I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee." To think that we are to be known by the most reverent and holy name of God! This fact should influence our lives in everything we do and say. This truth should revolutionize our family life.
However, it is not enough for us to know this fact. People should SEE it. God wants to reveal His image in us so that "all the people of the earth shall SEE that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee" [Deuteronomy 28:9-10). Just think of the impact of God's people upon the land if they could truly see that the name of the Lord is stamped upon us.
God gives us a specific mission to those who are called by His name. 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
We who are the called by his name are to be interceders for the nation. We are responsible to pray for the saving of our nation. If we don't take up this mantle, can we really confess that we are called by His name?

I know you love the front cover of the latest issue of Above Rubies as big brother holds his baby brother with the most wonderful expression of love. The mother of these boys, Vera Louden (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) wrote to me yesterday sharing of how she went through a heartbreaking miscarriage recently. She writes, "I delivered our sweet baby at home and we buried him here in our forest. I have been writing a lot since I lost my baby and thought I would send you something I wrote recently."
I trust Vera's words will be a blessing to those who have also miscarried.
"The sun shines brightly,
The sky is a deep blue,
Fluffy white clouds drift by
And then she looks in the mirror,
Notices how her shirt is not full,
How it gives the impression of a roundness.
Her hand touches that spot,
The roundness of the shirt . . it flattens,
She imagines what it would've been like by now,
This week would've been 25 weeks,
The kicks and the squirms,
The dreams and excitement--gone with the touch of that spot.
Her breath catches in her throat
And there's that feeling again,
A sinking. A sadness.
Her face reflects it. And she remembers.
He's gone. In the arms of Jesus.
I'm here and I step forward.
He is with me all the way and all the time."

I have been concerned as I meet children and young people (and even adults) that very few of them can quote Scriptures about salvation. I believe it is important for ourselves, and for our children, to be able to quote by heart these Scriptures. Can you quote Romans 6:23 right now?
I believe this is important for foundational teaching, but also to be able to lead someone to salvation in Jesus Christ.
The following are some foundational Scriptures which we should all know. They should not only be in our heart, but in our MOUTH (Isaiah 59:21). And we should know where they are found in the Bible. Why not start a memory program with your children and gradually learn the following Scriptures? I learned all of these Scriptures as a child and can still quote them today. Get your children learning them NOW, while they are young, and they will be prepared and ready to lead someone to Jesus. And you will, too.
Isaiah 53:5-7; Matthew 7:13-14; 21-23; John 1:12; 3:3; 3:16-17; 10:9-10; 14:6; 12:46; Acts 4:12; Romans 1:18; 3:23; 5:8; 6:23; 10:8-9, 13; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Timothy 2:5; Titus 3:5-6; Hebrews 9:27; 1 John 1:9; 5:11-12 and Revelation 3:20.

Interruptions are part of our mothering life. Let's not see them as frustrations but another opportunity to smile, show the love of God, reveal His patience, teach something new to our children, and part of God's plan for our day.

Dear precious mother, I know that sometimes you feel like a failure. Sometimes you wonder if you are accomplishing anything as you are hidden in your home raising your little ones, middling ones, and big ones! I want to remind you that you are not wasting your life. You are in the perfect will of God and you are in the most powerful career in the nation. You are determining the destiny of this nation, and nations or the world.
I want to remind you of the ENORMITY of what you are doing. Be faithful. Embrace your calling. Put your whole heart and soul into it for one day you will get to see how your children will touch the lives of so many people for God and His truth.
I have always loved to pin quotes, Scriptures verses, poems, and powerful statements on the wall for my children to read and be inspired. Many years ago, when most of them were late teens, I posted some words on the boys' bathroom where we lived in Australia at the time: "Australia waits to see what will come out of 18 Welby Street."
Not only did Australia wait to see, but the world. I thought of this again this morning as I realized that we now have over 48,000 people on our ABOVE RUBIES Facebook (although I am looking forward to reaching out to many more than 480,000!). But, then I checked some of my children's Facebooks. Our daughters, Serene and Pearl of TRIM HEALTHY MAMA now have well over 100,000 on their Facebook. Then I checked the NEWSBOYS, owned and managed by our sons, Wes and Steve, and they have 1.2 million on their Facebook (I'd secretly like to beat the Newsboys!). Wes was also the inspirer of the recent movie, "God's Not Dead"!
Apart from the other members of our family who are also touching many people for God through their daily lives, this one little family is reaching out to millions across the world--AND WE'VE HARDLY STARTED YET! Get ready, world.
Dear mother, lift up your head. Put a smile on your face. Stir resolution again in your heart. You can never imagine now what will happen with your children, too. Be ready for surprises. Be ready to REAP THE REWARD OF YOUR FAITHFUL MOTHERING, nurturing, and daily imparting of God's truth to your children.
Much love from your older mother, Nancy Campbell

Colossians 3:17 says, "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."
This Scripture doesn't give us any way out, does it? All day long I am to be a walkie talkie for God. In my home. In my kitchen. Whatever I say and whatever I do. Whatever I say to my husband. Whatever I say to my children. Every time I open my mouth, I speak on His behalf. Glorifying His name all day long.
No task is too demeaning when we do it in the name of the Lord Jesus. Washing dishes, doing laundry, scrubbing floors, and tending to children are sacred tasks when we do them in the name of the Lord.
Every day we walk. We walk in our home. We walk up and down the aisles of the supermarket. We walk to places we want to go. Every step we take we take in the name of the Lord. This makes our walking supernatural. Instead of being insignificant, every step we take can be divinely anointed. What an exciting way to live.
1 John 2:7 says, "He who says he abides in him ought himself also to walk just as he walked." Am I walking how Jesus walked in my home today? I am talking how Jesus talked in my home today?
As you walk each step with Him, acknowledge that He is walking with you. When He is walking with you, you can expect miracles to happen at any moment. Walk with expectancy.
