Is it just here in SC, or is it cold everywhere today?

It is a rainy morning in the SC - great opportunity to sit, listen to the rain fall and begin a morning with my favorite Book - God's word, as He fills my heart and soul with his love! What are you reading?

Sweet little voice drifting down from the top of bunkbed, "Mama, my leg hurts." I was in the middle of something and didn't answer immediately. After a minute or so, sweet voice continues, "Should I just go to your room and let you make it all better?" Mama's heart melts as I leave everything I'm doing, run to my room while thanking God for the privilege of making it all better. How marvelous to be "Mom"! May your tomorrow be filled with reasons to wonder at God's great plan for you!

Happy Monday !!!

Beautifully written. I couldn't agree more!! So thankful for the privilege of discipling my children.The Lord keeps encouraging me with regard to the primary purpose of education. Education is discipleship. Our culture has made education an idol as the role of parents is increasingly diminished. We are esteeming the wrong things. As homeschool moms, we need to be careful not to fall into the trap of believing that academics are the most important thing. They're not. Busy homeschool mom, if you'l...l trust the Lord by placing Him above all else, you will see that He will do far more in the lives of your children than you ever imagined. More education does not impact the culture apart from the simple nurture and spiritual training that strong parents can impart to their children. We must not lose sight of this truth.

Thankful !!!!

This morning, marks our second birthday this month. Our older daughter turned 12 the past Saturday March 3 :) I am so thankful for her , and my husband turns 35 today. My heart is full of thankfulness for the good and great gifts God has given to us.

A lady that I respect greatly once asked, "Do you ever feel like you must be God's favorite child?" I must admit, there are times I do, for He has showered His blessings upon me exceedingly and abundantly. Great is His Faithfulness! "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your steadfast love in the morning, and Your faithfulness by night." (Psalm 92:1-2)

Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me..." (Psalm 31:21) How marvelous is His steadfast love to us! How great is His grace! How sustaining is His hand! My heart cannot thank Him enough.

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (John 1:14) May we revel in this truth as we worship Him today and turn our hearts to His advent in the days ahead. Have a wonderful Lord's Day!

"In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;" (Titus 1:2) What a glorious reason to rejoice and be thankful!

Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.

The Lord has really been working on me to accept His peace when there is so much brewing all around me. I need to print this up and keep it ever before my eyes to remind my head of what God is teaching my heart.

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.(Philippians 2:9-11)

I'm feeling pretty good about myself now! Anyone else getting positive affirmation of what a good mom they are?? :-)

What is in your hand Today !!!

“The LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” (Exodus 4:2) When God asked this of Moses, the answer was his staff, but I believe that is still a pertinent question for all of us today. What is in your hand? A diaper? An English book? A calculator? A steering wheel? How can God use you today when you give Him full control over that which is in your hand already?


What an amazing, wonderful God that He loves to take the seemingly insignificant things in our hands—and use them greatly to further His kingdom! What is in your hand today?

Great God we serve !!!!

Things are busy around here. I've had a hard time finding quiet moments lately. I'm so thankful that I don't NEED those quiet moments to meditate on God's goodness and love and on all that He has done and is doing. I'm so thankful God is so patient with me, aren't you? He is ever reminding me of things I really should have learned for good long ago. What a great God we serve!!

! have a wonderful Wednesday !
