Homemaking to the Glory of God @thankfulhomemaker

Come join me and listen to my time with Reagan Rose from Redeeming Productivity (one of my favorite podcasts!) as we talked about our challenges as full-time homemakers, contentment, and—of course—being productive in the home. Here are some questions from the interview with Reagan: I know you didn’t get saved until your 30s, could you tell us a little about your testimony and what got you into creating resources on homemaking? What I love about your ministry is that you really ... continue reading...

My Top Ten Books of 2021

Book recommendation posts are my favorites and I'm sharing some of my top reads from this past year.

Martyn Lloyd Jones has become my new best friend. I've pondered starting a reading log and 2022 may be the year I finally get to it. Do you keep track of the books you read?

EP 111: Getting Things Done: A Walk Through Ephesians 5:15-16

by Marci Ferrell
Christian Living Encouragement Homemaking Mentoring Motherhood Podcast Reader Favorites Time Management

Do you, as a Christian, plan your days so you’re using your time wisely (Ephesians 5:15-16)? We don’t just want to live to get things done or get the most things done; we want to get done what we should be focusing on or prioritizing.

We want to get things done. We want our days to be productive. Deep down, we always want to get all those items on our to-do list checked off, which rarely happens. We may have days or seasons where we’re productive and on top of things, and there are other seasons where we feel like we’re trying to catch our breath and we’re always behind, and the to-do list is ever-growing, and deadlines for things are getting missed, and we may even feel overwhelmed at times. I’m so prone to overwhelm ... 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."⁣
