Cultivating a Gentle Spirit

by Marci Ferrell
Christian Living Marriage Motherhood

  What does it look like to have a gentle spirit? We live in a world where it can be quick to pass judgments instead of seeing the best in others. We can find ourselves expressing our opinions harshly when we differ from one another. Watching debates between Christians online when there is a disagreement makes me cringe a bit when I see the responses towards one another not gentle and kind. Disagreement is inevitable, but there is a way as believers that ... continue reading...

How can we as believers "put on" an attitude of love in our homes? What does it look like to "put off" sinful responses and attitudes and "put on" God-honoring attitudes?  @mferrell

  How can we as believers "put on" an attitude of love in our homes? What does it look like to "put off" sinful responses and attitudes and "put on" God-honoring attitudes? I'm hoping today to encourage you that as believers we can "put on" attitudes and behaviors that are God-honoring. If we are in Christ, He has equipped us to do so through His presence within us and through our intake of God's truth. We're working through Ephesians 4:22-24 together ... continue reading...

One of the most fundamental ways to manage our homes well is to take the time to plan. Planning is merely deciding in advance the what, why, and how things will be done even cleaning. #cleaning #housecleaning #cleaningschedule #christianhomemaking @mferrell

  One of the most fundamental ways to manage our homes well is to take the time to plan. Planning is merely deciding in advance the what, why, and how things will be done even cleaning. Ladies the time it takes to put together a plan for the care and upkeep of your home is well worth your time and energy. You know the saying that sorta goes like this - “Many women plan to fail because they fail to plan.” On the other side of that, we can do so much planning and never get to the ... continue reading...

Do you think of your family table as a place of discipleship? @mferrell

  Do you think of your family table as a place of discipleship? Our family tables are a place where we can offer Christ to others. We hope that our children and others would leave with more than just full bellies but with the truth of Jesus who wants to feed their souls. Does it sound a bit overwhelming? It doesn't have to be, and I'm sharing some tips from a great resource in helping you get started creating your lifegiving table.   "Even the simplest supper, meal, snack, or ... 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...
