Please Don't Read This Blog!

Please don't read this blog if you...

have neglected to care for your husband, children and home today in order to read it.

Please don't read this blog if you...

think that I am perfect, my home is perfect, and my children are perfect and that you would do well to emulate me, because we definitely are not.

Please don't read this blog ...

if you look to it to be your spiritual guide and not the Bible.

Please don't read this blog...

if you value what it has to say over your husband.

Please don't read this blog...

and look at it as a final authority on God's Word.
Search the Scriptures yourself and be like the Bereans.

Please DO read this blog if are encouraged here

and growing in the Lord
and in your ever important role of helpmeet, wife and homemaker.

We are so happy to have you along for the journey~

You are truly a blessing to us

we are so thankful for you

and we hope you are blessed here!

Anonymous said...: Very well put. Sometimes it is very easy to neglect things that ought not be neglected to blog and even easier to idolize or at times envy the other women that you think might be doing a better job than yourself. We must be reminded to keep things in perspective and to make sure we have our priorities in line.
I do read your blog and enjoy is so much for encouragement and a little extra umph to keep at it.; February 10, 2011 at 1:26:00 PM CST
Anonymous said...: Dear Mrs. Fuentes,
This post is exactly the reason why you are such a blessing to all; in everything, you admonish us to have our priorities straight and parallel to the Bible. On behalf of all the ladies who frequent here, I want to say that you are sincerely loved and appreciated! May the Lord always keep you humble, wise and virtuous - qualities rare in contemporary women today.
Blessings in Christ ~NM; February 10, 2011 at 5:28:00 PM CST

Eric Bowen said...: As a motherhood blogger, will you give a look at this?
“Wisdom of Our Mothers” is an anthology of 88 stories and poems about what the authors learned from their mothers. Half the profits from the book are going to shelters for abused women and children.
Will you consider doing a blog entry about this? In return, I will post a link to your blog or website on my own site.

BLESSED MOTHERHOOD

"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 STRONG MARRIAGES

"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

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 Work For a King

"I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him." --Lydia Sherman
