It’s getting to the end of another wonderful Thanksgiving Day. We squashed about 90 plus people for a sit-down meal at our home today. A great time of feasting and fellowship and speeches. Plus tug-of-wars and egg-throwing.Here is an acrostic on being thankful, not just for today, but for every day of the year.
T I thank God for TEACHING me His ways.
H I thank God for giving me my HUSBAND. Marriage becomes more and more beautiful with time.
A I thank God for ANOINTING me to be a mother. Is there any greater blessing, apart from our salvation, than to enjoy the blessings of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren?
N I thank God for creating me to be a NURTURER and NOURISHER to my family and to others.
K I thank God for His KINDNESS to me.
F I thank God for my FAMILY and His daily FAITHFULNESS to me.
U I thank God for giving me UNDERSTANDING of His truth. My greatest delight is to receive revelation of God’s truth from His living Word.
L I thank God for LOVING me enough to die for me and shed His precious blood for my sins. I don’t like to get a day go by without thanking Him for His great and unspeakable and eternal salvation.
Blessings from Nancy Campbell

The life God gives us in His kingdom is an abounding life. It is above the normal status quo. He wants us to abound in everything in our lives (2 Corinthians 8:7). That means abounding and overflowing as we face the challenges of motherhood each day. Yes, right in your kitchen, when a child is annoying you, one is crying, and everyone seems to want you at once!
Do you like waiting? Well, in the natural world it is hard to wait, isn’t it? We like things to happen just when we want them. I remember growing up as a child. We had everything we needed but we didn’t have excess. We didn’t expect to get what we wanted each time we went to town with our mother. We received gifts for birthdays and Christmases and that was it. To get an orange in our Christmas stocking was a gift from Heaven. A little packet of raisins was heavenly!
Don’t allow the devil any space in your home. Don’t even let him get a foot in the door. Once he is in he will take over more and more. Speak the name of Jesus out loud. Take authority in Jesus’ name over any evil in your home.
I was reading the psalm we all know so well this morning, Psalm 23:2: “He leadeth me beside the still waters.” We know that a shepherd always leads his sheep to peaceful and tranquil waters. They will not drink from turbulent waters.
Today is the 18th November and so I began to read Proverbs 18 (31 chapters for 31 days in the month). As usual, I didn’t get very far. I didn’t get past verse 1! This is usually what happens wen I read God’s word each morning. I rarely get through a chapter. As I begin to read, I find something so wonderful and revelatory that I stop to study and meditate upon it more! God’s word is new and refreshing each day.
Your home is a haven providing protection,

Oh, don’t you love this picture of these most adorable twins? I received this picture the other day from my dear friend, Sarah, and I just loved it so much I asked if I could share it with you all. Sarah and Daniel Bausum are now the parents of 12 amazing children.
. It’s refreshing to be reminded to stop, look past all that mess, and see the people we call our children.
It's over to you, Mom. You can make your home a dreary, boring place, or you can make it the most exciting and productive place in your whole city. God has given you your home, whether small and humble or big and spacious, to raise your children for God and to use for His glory and blessing to many.
How we praise God for this wonderful victory of Trump winning the election. It was God’s wondrous mercy. Because of the evil going on in this country we deserve His judgment, but He was so good to give us His mercy in answer to the fervent prayers and intercessions of thousands of God’s people all over this country and overseas.
There’s a natural resistance to this statement, isn’t there? But it’s straight from the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 6:19 (CJB) states: “You don’t belong to yourselves.” Or if you want it from the King James Version: “Ye are not your own.”
I was talking to a mother expecting her 10th baby. She shared with me that on a recent Sunday morning at church some of the young mothers asked her how she survived with so many children.
