The Kitchen Table | March 28, 2025

Inside: This week at The Kitchen Table: encouragement for your day, two thoughtful reads, a favorite book, thoughts from Psalm 31, and a tool that keeps my week on track.

Pull up a chair, friend. Here are a few simple favorites from my week—encouragement for your heart and home.

Articles to Encourage You

The Theology of Work and the Stay-at-Home Mom: Embracing the Value of Our Calling @IndiAanya 
This article was such a sweet reminder that our work at home—though often unseen—is deeply valuable in the eyes of the Lord.
(Thank you, Reagan, for sharing this one.)

How to Spend the Day with God @G3 Ministries
Christ-centered encouragement to intentionally weave time with the Lord throughout our day, not just in the morning.

From the Blog Archives

Directly from the Father’s Hand (Psalm 31:15)
How often do we find ourselves trying to seek control and manipulate challenging circumstances that come about in our lives instead of first and foremost surrendering ourselves and our circumstances to the loving and authoritative, sovereign hand of the Lord? 

From My Bookshelf to Yours

Feminine Appeal: Seven Virtues of a Godly Wife and Mother by Carolyn Mahaney
I’m working through this one with some ladies, and it is always a favorite of mine to revisit. If you’ve not read it yet, I highly recommend it!
