by Marci Ferrell
Christian Living Marriage Motherhood Titus 2

Summer is upon us, and I know how quickly our schedules can fill up. We can easily get addicted to activity and not enjoy our family time. @mferrell

Summer is upon us, and I know how quickly our schedules can fill up. We can easily get caught up in a flurry of activity and miss out on enjoying our time together as a family.  Below are some ideas adapted from Little House on the Freeway by Tim Kimmel. This book would be a great read to start your summer. It's a helpful, practical read and just a good reminder that there are many things we can be doing but we don't have to lose our calm and joy along the way.   Mr. ... continue reading...

Podcast Ep. 24: Dealing with Our Grumbling and Complaining

Biblical Womanhood Christian Living Communicating with Our Children Communication in Marriage Contentment Encouragement Evangelism Gratitude Podcast Spiritual Discipleship Titus 2

"Complaining will seem increasingly ugly when you let the beauty of God’s Word transform your words." @mferrell

  We’re talking about a topic that I pretty confidently say affects all of us. It’s our grumbling and complaining. My hope today is that the Lord would fill us with joy no matter our circumstances and we would rejoice always and give thanks in all things. As believers we can do this and how do I know this - because as it says in Philippians 2:13 – it is God who is at work in you. So let’s dig in, and I pray that as we start our time together today, you will pray for the Lord to ... continue reading...


Cultivating True Christian Fellowship

by Marci Ferrell

How many times at church do you find yourself discussing non-spiritual things. I love to talk about the Lord with others but it doesn't always come as naturally as I think it should in a conversation.

  How many times at church do you find yourself discussing non-spiritual things?  I love to talk about the Lord with others, but He doesn't always come as naturally as I think He should into a conversation.  As believers, our relationships with others in the body of Christ are unlike anything non-believers will ever experience.  It is such a joy when you come across another Christian that you haven't met before and because of the common bond of Christ, it is if you have ... 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. ⁣
