I love this Judy Rogers song! I'm desperately hunting the school room for our copy of "Go to the Ant." My older children LOVED these songs when they were young, and I'm realizing my younger ones are missing out! Check out Judy's website for wonderful songs for your children that will help hide the Word and His ways in their hearts!Seven Awful ThingsThere are six things - even seven, that the Lord

As I consider the lessons God has taught me over the years, through the brambles and tares of life, I wonder when I’ll learn that I have so much left to learn! The journey each Christian takes has many ups and downs—many twists and turns; and, often, we begin to think we understand the way, without knowing what lies ahead. It’s an exciting journey and we should learn to look forward to the

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate." (Psalm 127:3-5, ESV)Over the last couple of months, I’ve contemplated and prayed over the various controversies and

"He told me the other night that this is the happiest and most satisfied that he has been in nearly 14 years of marriage."This morning, one of my readers left a comment that I found encouraging and wanted to pass it on. What a good reminder to us women that what we're doing in our homes for our husbands and children really does make a difference. Thanks for sharing, Christy!"I can honestly

From "The Little Kingdom of Home," copyright 1904"What the home asks from the mother, from the wife, is not money, but influence, not things, but herself. . .The husband's key is in the latch; he looks up expectant, and is not satisfied until he sees the brightening of his day in the dear face that makes the sunshine of his world.

I'm still contemplating, praying over, and organizing my thoughts regarding our recent "quiverfull" poll. I am so burdened over our culture's view of children - especially since this mindset has in part invaded the church. Raising children for God's glory is hard work. Training them up in the way they should go is a minute by minute thing and sometimes it is a "burden." However, children are a

Guess what's going in the kids' bathroom from now on! LOL

Okay folks, this one is going in the "keeper" file at our house. Emma and I whipped up this soup last night for our Sunday night supper tonight. Yum! Healthy, easy to make, and delicious! We were out of cilantro, so I used the frozen cilantro paste you can get in the produce section at the grocery now and it worked fine. We will use fresh cilantro next time though. Enjoy!1/2 C. chopped shallots2

I pray every one of my readers takes the time to listen to this powerful and life changing message where Paul Washer BOLDLY speaks the truth to 5000 youth! In a day when so many churches have sold out to circus antics, I'm wondering if this brave preacher needed a body guard by the time he left!

Hi Y'all,I thought I'd let you know that I am still prayerfully contemplating the many comments and thoughts surrounding the "quiverfull" topic and I am in the process of preparing the post I promised. Things have been a little crazy around here, but I haven't forgotten.In the meantime, I'd like to share R.C. Sproul Jr.'s most recent Kingdom Notes on the topic of prayer and fasting:A pastor

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate." (Psalm 127:3-5)Recently, I was intrigued by a couple of snarky anonymous (unapproved) comments on the quiverfull

Mrs. Krishevsky was not a Christian, but she sure understood the blessing of children! Check out this article from ynews.com...The commandment to "be fruitful and multiply" the Krishevsky family follows quite closely. Last Saturday, the great grandmother, Rachel Krishevsky passed away at the age of 99, leaving behind no less than 1,400 children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even

James and I watched Demographic Bomb last night, the sequel to the startling documentary, Demographic Winter. Both documentaries are presented from a secular worldview; however, James and I were amazed how many biblical truths are revealed by the research presented (such as the fact that the failure to “be fruitful and multiply” carries with it serious consequences for society).Watch the trailer

Our family just returned home this evening from a lovely trip to Virginia. James and I were invited to speak at a family conference at a church there in Chesapeake. We met many precious brothers and sisters hungry for God and excited about what He is doing in their families! Praise the Lord!While we were there, we visited Colonial Williamsburg (one of our favorite places to visit!). We enjoyed
