Many years ago when I was just a young girl in school, I remember taking a class called Home Economics. It went over basic home keeping skills, sewing and cooking. I grew up with a stay-at-home mom, and most of my female family members were stay-at-home moms. I do not come from a Christian…

The beautiful book, The Valley of Vision, has become a part of my daily time with the Lord. I am thankful to have the prayers of the puritans to guide me in my petitions to the Lord. It was not written as a prayer manual but I have learned much by praying the prayers of…

Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. Exodus 20:12 Honoring our parents is a command we never outgrow. We may not live directly under their authority, but we are to always show them the love and respect that the…
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. ~ Ephesians 5:15-16 I love turning the calendar and starting fresh for the new year. Making lists and planning goals are tasks I look forward to with much…

We previously talked about Eating at the Table and a Checklist for Returning to the Table. I love today’s topic of being a good hostess and guest. We loved when our kids were young to practice proper table manners so whenever we went out to eat or were a guest at someone’s home we didn’t…
