Day in and day out work day of a mom can be physically and emotionally exhausting. @mferrell

  Are you a tired mom out there who feels like everything you work so hard to get done seems to get almost immediately undone?

What does parenting by the gospel look like? There are many resources and books available that teach us to have the gospel as the center of our parenting, but what does this mean? And what does it look like in our daily lives as moms?

The Influence of Godly Mothers & Grandmothers

by Marci Ferrell
Communicating with Our Children Loving Our Children Motherhood

 The Lord used the influence of Timothy's mother and grandmother in bringing him to saving faith.  @mferrell

      As a young believer and a young mother one of the scriptures that had much impact on me was 2 Timothy 1:5:   I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. ~ 2 Timothy 1:5 ESV   Now that I am a grandmother that verse still draws me to be mindful of continuing to nurture not just the faith of my now-adult children, but my grandbabies.  It ... continue reading...


She Opens Her Mouth With Wisdom

by Marci Ferrell
Biblical Womanhood Christian Living Communicating with Our Children Communication in Marriage Encouragement Loving Our Children Loving Our Husbands Motherhood Titus 2

Speaking kindly to others outside our home is easy to do.  It is easy to put on a good face to others.  Our true hearts are revealed by the way we speak to those within our homes. #proverbs31 #speakingkindly #communicatingwithourchildren @mferrell

  She opens her mouth with wisdom,     and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. Proverbs 31:26 I have been spending time camping in Proverbs these past few weeks, and Proverbs 31 seems to get most of my time.  It is mindful to remember that Proverbs are not promises for our lives but guides to help us in living productive and successful lives according to God's ways. Proverbs are a great place to get practical wisdom.   Speaking Words of ... continue reading...

"Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣ ⁣ Very lar "Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣
⁣
Very largely does the wife hold in her ⁣
hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness ⁣
and the highest good of the hearts that ⁣
nestle there. In the last analysis, home ⁣
happiness depends on the wife. ⁣
⁣
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. ⁣
⁣
Her hands fashion its beauty. ⁣
⁣
Her heart makes its love. ⁣
⁣
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, ⁣
that no woman who has been called to be a wife, ⁣
and has listened to the call, should consider any⁣
price too great to pay, to be . . .⁣
 the light,⁣
 the joy,⁣
 the blessing,⁣
 the inspiration, ⁣
of a home. ⁣
⁣
The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, ⁣
filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing ⁣
something better than anything else her hands ⁣
could find to do beneath the skies.⁣
⁣
A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of ⁣
home happiness. God sends many beautiful things ⁣
to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is ⁣
richer than that which He bestows in a mother who ⁣
has learned love's lessons well, and has realized ⁣
something of the meaning of her sacred calling."⁣

Summer is a natural time for me to get off my rout Summer is a natural time for me to get off my routine of menu planning. In the winter, we're more apt to stick to a schedule, but summer brings about a more flexible and changing calendar. ⁣
