Are you raising your sons into maturity? Too many young men, even in their twenties, are still “little boys” today. Thy are not ready for responsibility. They are not ready for marriage. They are not ready to provide for and raise a family.
Dear ladies, this Scripture also applies to our daily lives as mothers and wives.
I read this quote when raising my children and it has always been a challenge to me. It is so true that just as camellias bruise so easily so we can hurt the hearts of our children—a harsh and unkind word can be like a sword in their spirit. Brushing them off because we are too busy doing other things can cause rejection in their hearts. Ask God for His grace each day as you nurture and train these living and eternal souls that God has so graciously given to you.
Titus 2:10 exhorts us to “adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.” It’s not enough to read the doctrine. It’s not enough to think about the doctrine. We must put it on like a garment and wear it. One commentary says it means to take precious jewels and arrange them in a way to show their beauty.
My Friday post was about BEAUTIFUL DOCTRINE. The Bible also tells us what we are to do about this beautiful doctrine.
Don’t despise the time it takes to prepare meals. Every meal is another opportunity for dialogue, discussion, and interaction with your children. Think of how you can make every meal a special occasion. Think of how you can make every meal a love affair. Make your family meal times the most wonderful moments of every day.
Does doctrine relate to us in our everyday lives? This last week I memorized 2 John 1:9: “Whosoever transgreseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” What a profound Scripture. It’s all in a nutshell. If we live in the doctrine, we are in Christ. If we don’t, we don’t belong to Him.
“I’m pregnant!” No, not me, although I still dream about it! But these are usually the words a mother will say when she sees the pink line! Actually, It’s not such a beautiful-sounding word, is it? For something so wonderful I am sure we could think of a better word.
I am amazed at how people who say they believe the Bible take little notice of it. They tolerate homosexuality in the name of loving everyone. That sounds so good, and of course we love each person, but we cannot condone the act because it mocks God’s eternal plan.
Mother, you are the best teacher for your children.
“The woman makes the home and the home makes the woman.”
Motherhood is a powerful and influential career for good or for bad. We determine the destiny of nations and future generations. It is a full time career.
Don’t you love gathering your family around the table? The best times!
Marriage is the first institution God ordained. It is for male and female only. It is sacred and holy. There is no alternative.
A good man doesn't love a million girls, he loves one girl in a million ways.
I have a dear friend who literally built her own home. Her husband worked full time and earned the money, but because she was at home with her little baby, she decided she may as well build the house. With the advice of her father and studying building books she did it! She built this beautiful five-bedroom two-storied home which she and her family continue to live in today. And now she is a grandmother!
