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.

Never Be Ashamed of Christ!

Live a courageous life.

If We Wish to Please Men

"You and I cannot be useful if we want to be sweet as honey in the mouths of men.

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.
