Have You Mentored Your Children Today?

Have you taken specific action steps to mentor your children on a daily basis?

I know that we all get busy and feel it is not always possible to do so, but here is a quick checklist of questions that you can ask yourself to add into your day. 

1. Did I pray for or with my children today? 

2. Did I lead them to God's Word today?

3. Did I give them wise advice/ godly counsel today?

4. Did I disciple them today? (verbally or by example/action)

5. Can I teach them something new from the Bible today?

6. Can I share with them what God is doing in my life or what He has done in the past?

7. Did I give them resources to help them grow closer to God? (Like a Bible, encouraging books that point them to God)

8. Did I walk beside them and encourage them in the Lord?

9. Did I tell them that I love them and hug them today?

10. Did I listen to them today?

11. Did  I reach out and try to call them today?

12. Can I gift them something that shows them I love them?

This checklist is a helpful beginning point to check our days to make sure we are doing what we need to do to mentor and disciple our children. 

It is so easy to get distracted by our other "to-do" lists like managing the home, meals, etc. but we need to remember that at the end of the day those things will always need to be done but we only have our children with us for a short while. It is important to prioritize giving them a strong biblical foundation.

We need to invest in them while we can. 

It is our responsibility to do so!

You Can Never Lose Your Mother!

Since Mother's Day is almost here, I thought I would share these wise words on mothers from one of my favorite preachers. I hope you enjoy and are truly inspired by it. 

The Instruction of My Mother

"I cannot tell you how much I owe to the solemn words of my good mother. It was the custom on Sunday evenings, while we were yet little children, for her to stay at home with us, and then we sat round the table, and read verse by verse, and she explained the Scriptures to us.

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 ourselves "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!

* We know we can't speak to every situation. This post is not intended for woman who are being abused. Please make sure you are safe, get help, and biblical counseling if this is happening to you!

26 Inexpensive Date Night Ideas

Are you looking for something to do for some simple quick ideas for an inexpensive date night?

It is always important to invest in your spouse and your marriage--it takes time to nurture it and grow it. A wise woman is always looking for ways to love her husband and make sure he knows that he is loved.

You Get to Build a Home

"Homemaking is an art, and you have the privilege of expressing and developing all your talents there in a little place called home. 

You get to build...beautify...organize...create...fuss...express yourself.

You get to read and study and grow and master nutrition, finances, horticulture, design, wardrobe, etc. 

And you also get to shape your children, to give their precious lives a bend toward God. To nurture their souls with good things of God. To pass on the truth about Jesus to one more generation. And to do so means you've got to be dedicated, organized, and a woman of purpose. 

And you've got to have the spunk and energy to follow through on all dedication, organization, and purpose that answering God's high calling and homemaking requires. 

Oh, that we would embrace this essential for godly living! That we would own and accept God's high calling to make our house a home. That the "journal" of our life would report that we have not been born in vain--but that we have lived out our high and sacred mission on earth. "
