Feeling Unappreciated

Feeling Unappreciated

Written By Joseph Spurgeon Let me speak plainly to the mothers. You labor daily, caring for your children, supporting your husband, managing the home. These are good and noble tasks. Yet I know the weariness that can settle in. The frustration. The sense that your efforts go unseen or unappreciated. You may feel as though your husband doesn’t notice, or that your children repay your sacrifices with ingratitude. A few years ago, The Huffington Post published an article titled, “If…

Is It Sinful For Single Women to Be in the Workforce?

Is It Sinful For Single Women to Be in the Workforce?

“Hello! May I ask two questions if that’s alright with you? I’ve read some stuff on the internet about you, and I just would love to know where your heart is on such matters and just hear the truth! 1) Do you really think that a Christian single lady with no husband in sight is sinning if she’s working in a noble job such as a nurse, teacher, or any other field in that area? (I go to a very…

My Simple Life at Home

It’s been 40 years since I left the workforce to come home full time. While I was growing up, the workforce never appealed to me but everyone told me that it was where I belonged, so I went. I didn’t like it at all. I was a waitress in the summer then a school teacher during the school year. I was continually exhausted. Before marriage, I struggled with my weight and overeating. Once married, I no longer did. It seems…

My grandma was born in 1894. She had a twin sister as seen in the picture above. She married my grandpa but wouldn’t consummate the marriage because she didn’t want to be left with a child as a widow. He went to fight in WW1 right after they married. He was on the USS San Diego when it was sunk off of the New York coast. The war ended shortly afterwards. My grandma ended up having seven children. Her last…

How Should Biblical Womanhood Be Taught?

How Should Biblical Womanhood Be Taught?

Comments 6 comments

When I began teaching women biblical womanhood 26 years ago, we would meet in a home and sit in a big circle. I went through “Created to Be His Help Meet” with the women. It was mostly a discussion. Women would ask me questions. I would teach through the answers. It was an incredible time! I also mentored many women one-on-one in our homes (mine or theirs). I would also have women over for lunch, show them how to make…

“I Can’t Afford Not to Work!”

“I Can’t Afford Not to Work!”

Comments 5 comments

Written By Nancy Campbell I often hear mothers say, “I wish that this [being a stay-at-home mom] was the case for me, but we can’t afford for me to stay home.” Why are these words such a common reply? I think it is because we feel we must take things into our own hands to make it work. We don’t think that God is able! That’s the bottom line. That’s rather challenging, isn’t it? Especially when we read the words…

Don’t be ruled by your moods. Let Truth control you instead. Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Smile often and decide to choose joy and contentment instead of complaining and being negative. Work hard in your home to make it a place of order and beauty rather than chaos and clutter. Submit to and love your husband. Your children are watching you. Stop arguing with him. Respect him instead. Invest into your children. Let them know they…

Train Up a Child in the Way He Should Go

Train Up a Child in the Way He Should Go

Written By Ken Alexander We were accused of being excessive in our discipline actions by those who were into the gentle/permissive parenting movement. Flicking a cheek and making a child comply by picking up the raisins she threw onto the ground because she did not want to eat them are considered cardinal sins worthy of purgatory by some, yet ask the child who is now a well-adjusted, wonderful mom of her own, and she laughs and understands how important it…

A Nurse Wants to Go Home and Raise Her Children

A Nurse Wants to Go Home and Raise Her Children

Comments 12 comments

A woman just wrote this on my blog: “I’ve worked as a nurse our entire marriage of nearly 18 years. I’ve hated every minute of it and see so much destruction to our family because of my working. The nursing career field is extremely toxic and as a Christian, I resented ‘taking care of other people’ and spending countless hours toward a sick hospital organization, when I had my own family I longed to take care of. I longed to…
