Older Women Are to Teach

"Love your husband, love your children.

 Stay home. 

That's not an idea I came up with out of my head. 

That's from Titus 2. 

Older women are to teach, encourage, 

do all that they possibly can 

to help the younger women to do these things.

Quick Spring Cleaning Strategy

Beautifying our homes is one of the many pleasures that God has given up to make our homes a haven---an escape and refuge from the world. A place for souls to be nurtured. A safe place to love and learn. Spring is a time to prepare our homes for the excitement that lies ahead for the year.

I am spending the week working out my spring cleaning strategy and was thrilled when I found an older plan of attack in my home journal. It was simple and so unlike what I find in the magazines which are too complex or time consuming for me with a large family.


If you are not sure how to begin your spring cleaning this strategy might work for you.

Don't Give Up on Your Marriage

Are you not happy in your marriage?

Are you feeling like you want to leave?

It is easy to feel discontent in a marriage, especially in this day and age.

We need to remember that our husbands can fall short and are not perfect. 

In the same way that we are not perfect and can't be that to our husbands.

God did not intend for us to be that.

In fact, the only one that is perfect and can fill that gaping void in our hearts is God and Him alone.

When discontentment creeps up on us we must remember to be wise: 

Are we comparing him to others?

Are we thinking upon things that we shouldn't?

Are we getting angry for no reason?

Are we putting our "feelings" first? 

(Remember, the heart is deceitful and can fluctuate from one moment to the next.)

Are we actively building up our homes or tearing them down, in our actions and in our thought life?

Often times a marriage can saved and turned around with God, prayer, and a willing heart. 

Don't give up on your marriage--there are many out there that can be changed. There have been many challenging marriages that have been fully restored.

And most of all, God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16).

It affects the home, the children, and grandchildren. 

It can have a ripple effect through generations!

Forgive your husband, if needed, and always guard against bitterness. 

And please, seek biblical counseling if needed. 

We know Satan prowls around like a lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). 

Ladies, don't let him devour your marriage -

Be wise and guard your home!
