Simple Steps in Stocking a Natural Medicine Cabinet

by Marci Ferrell
Natural Living

  In the Midwest, winter has arrived and with it always seems to come cold and flu season.  This year I am better equipped to handle the common cold and flu with natural alternatives to aid our body's own immune system in healing.  Just a few years ago my way of dealing with a cold usually was a trip to the local drugstore to stock up on over-the-counter remedies.

Christian Living Motherhood Natural Living

I'm not normally a controversial blogger but I'm stepping out for a moment and getting bold—sorta.   I'm writing to express my frustration that I see so many times in our Christian circles of mommies who get all fired up over whether to vaccinate or not vaccinate.  Debates over how we should be feeding our families.  The cloth versus paper diaper debate is another one and how about sharing online that you actually ate a meal at McDonald's —horrid—just horrid! What boggles my mind is how ... continue reading...

"How much misery we would avoid if we permitted “the peace of Christ” to umpire in our hearts. How many words we would hold back if he were the arbitrator in our lives. How many sleepless nights we would forego if we did that. How the Church needs this too, “since as members of one body you were called to peace.”⁣
