    SPEAKING WELL OF HIM

    Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14) As Father’s Day slowly approaches this month, there’s so much that can be said about the Father figure. Strong, steady, courageous, and determined. I wonder how we talk of our man to our children. Do we belittle him or do we lift him up?   I want to encourage you to speak well of your husband to your children. Our words can either make it or break it with our children sometimes, especially concerning…

    HUMBLE WOMEN

    Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. (1 Peter 5:5) As Mother’s today, we have a lot to live up too. We’re supposed to be supermom that can do everything and then some. We’re to hold the world with one hand while conquering our own affairs. We’re to be proud of what we can do and flaunt it. If we admit that we can’t do it all, then we are called weak and maybe even…

    GOOD WORDS FOR OUR HUSBANDS

    There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. (Proverbs 12:18) As wives, we have such a big influence on our men. They listen to us intently and watch our actions towards them. It’s such a privilege to be able to encourage my husband and to build him up. Sometimes, I forget to do that.   I get aggravated or just plain busy with holding down the fort that I don’t lift him up with my words. I’m not tearing him down, but I’m not verbally telling him what a blessing…

    SUBMISSION IS LOVE

    Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. (1 Peter 3:1-2) Submission is a word that not many like to hear no matter the relationship or situation it pertains too. It’s often used in the Bible though and is connected with marriage. Submission is when YOU are willing to follow someone or be willing to deny ourselves for the good of others. That is not easy and never has been.…

    LOOKING UPWARD

    Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (Colossians 3:2) This world wants us to believe it has so much to offer us. New cars, beautiful bodies, and sparkly jewelry. It’s not hard to get caught up in trying to keep up with the Jones’, as the old saying goes. There are so many things thrown our way that will take our attention away from our Savior and God. If we aren’t careful we can easily be distracted and begin to seek worldly things more than Jesus. Paul was writing to the Colossians about setting their…
