Ken and I were authoritative parents. Our children knew we ran the home and they obeyed us. (I made a YouTube about how we raised them to obey us.) Many told us we were too strict but we didn’t think so. We didn’t want to raise spoiled brats so we were intentional about training, disciplining, and teaching them to obey us and clearly knowing right from wrong. We worked hard to break their stubborn rebellious will and direct it towards…
Most younger people today are lost because they are not being taught truth; they are in emotional turmoil and trying to fill the void with drugs, alcohol, sex, and all types of destructive habits. It’s vital, mothers, to raise your children with truth. My friend, Carol, was raised by parents that clearly taught her truth. She didn’t have to go searching for truth. Her parents taught her the Word consistently. They wanted their children to hide His Word deep in…
Yet, another reason God wants mothers at home full time with their children and parents to be the ones to raise their children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord – pornography. My children went to the public schools in Encinitas, CA during elementary school in the 90s. Years later in 2012, iPads were introduced to these schools. Now, they have found out that many of the children are being exposed to hard-core pornography.I am thankful there were…
This is a lemon tree I bought at Costco a few weeks ago. We have many lemon trees outside of our home and we have for years but they don’t do that good. This tree is sheltered from the salty air and winds that those outside are exposed to on a daily basis. It doesn’t have snails and grubs crawling all over it during the night like the ones outside. I often check it to see if it has enough…
The feminists movement of the 1960s began because women felt worthless and invisible. Feminists came along and urged mothers to leave their homes, find careers, make money and a name for themselves. An article written by Leslie Loftus attempts to explain the perplexities of trying to be a stay-at-home mom since feminism. “‘Stay-at-home mom’ became the preferred term for opt-out mothers everywhere precisely because it focused on the children. ‘Housewife’ was too focused on homes and husbands. We were defensive…
No one has to guess what God’s will is for them. It is all clearly spelled out in His Word. We can usually figure out God’s will for us by looking at our culture and doing the exact opposite since Satan is the prince of the power of the air and the Word of God is our instruction manual straight from the mouth of God. Therefore, we must all ponder who we want to live for and please. Do we…
You’re probably sick of hearing about the movie coming out this weekend called Beauty and the Beast and the homosexual talk concerning it but I thought I would throw my thoughts out there for anyone who is interested. The director who MADE the movie had this to say about it: “It may have been a long time coming but this is a watershed moment for Disney. … By representing same-sex attraction in this short but explicitly gay scene, the studio…
Parents must teach and warn their children about pornography. All children will be exposed to it so it is imperative for the parents to know how to go about it. In No Greater Joy’s latest magazine, Michael’s daughter Rebekah Anast shared how her dad taught this to his children. It’s so important so I thought I would post it here. One day when I was 8 years old, I went down to the mailbox to get the mail. Lying in…
“The first and most important choices are made by Mother. Is your 22-month-old baby fat? Up until the age of twenty, fat cells multiply in number according to the need to store more fat. After twenty, the fixed number of fat cells either swell larger with overindulgence or shrink with healthy eating. The number of fat cells generated in your youth stays with you the rest of your life, and the more you have, the more you tend toward obesity….
It grieves me when I see young Christian women calling themselves feminist when we look at all of the destruction they have caused and are causing. Why not call ourselves feminine women who love the Lord Jesus instead! The Federalist wrote an article about Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to the President, whether or not she would call herself a feminist. She answered: “I don’t consider myself a feminist. I think my generation isn’t a big fan of labels. My favorite label…
