Changing the world with a Vision of Multigenerational Faithfulness
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is place in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into it's soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller

Building up our husbands as leaders with submission and respect
"A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.' While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is nobles and richest in his being. She inspires him with her courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path. -JR Miller

This blog is dedicated to my children, that they will always know my heart for them today and when I am gone.
Exalting Christ with a gentle and quiet spirit
"A gentle and quiet spirit is not only imperishable; it is precious in the sight of God. It's also one of the hardest qualities to cultivate. Far from a sign of weakness, a gentle and quiet spirit is the sign of a woman who is strong in faith, mind and character." --Anna Sofia & Elizabeth Botkin

Relax and Pour a cup of tea
making our homes a beautiful refuge
"Thank God, O women, for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen it it. Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there, beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it. Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled." ---Reverend T. DeWitt Talmage, D.D

I actually long for the time to be still and quiet, so that I can fellowship with the Lord. I'm in the process fo rising up extra early, just to have that alone time with God.
I desire it to be... Lord help me
This subject was on my heart this morning when I woke up. I work from home and last week was so busy I was stressed to the max, very short on the phone with people and breezed right over my time with God so I could "get more accomplished." Oh goodness, I know how that sounds! This morning I vowed to myself to take it slow, lean not on my own understanding but on His Word and already the day is off to a better start. I have my Bible at my right hand and have just uttered a prayer for a quiet spirit.
Lots of hugs and blessings,
Caroline
I have to admit, at first it wasn't until coming here. Had read an upsetting comment, then reminded myself that it doesn't matter what others say. I only have to answer to our Father! :) Let it flow off like water on a ducks feathers.
Beautiful calming picture. Love His timing. Thank you and God Bless!
I love the times when it is quiet and I can be with the Lord in prayer and Bible study. I'm striving to be all he ask of me. Love your blog and all the posts. Thanks and God Bless

Not today it wasn't :( But it normally is every day. Today just happened to be one of those fast pace, errand running, sweltering heat, running in 5 directions at once type of day.
Thankfully since it's now evening my mind is unwinding and now focusing on what's important (Him).
Looking forward to tomorrow to begin anew and fresh. :)
Thank you for the gentile reminder. May your week be blessed abundantly!

Oh my,
I don't think anyone's ever asked me that before. I think I need to do that right now.

Sigh! Your question reminds me of how I really need to focus on God, even during the crazy times (and right now, my life is kind of "crazy" and in transitional mode). I pray that I can remember this question tomorrow, and start with a clean slate.
