“The wife who would always hold in her husband’s heart the place she held on her wedding day will never cease striving to be lovely. She will be as careful of her words and actions and her whole bearing toward him as she was before marriage. She will cultivate in her own life whatever is beautiful, whatever is winning, whatever is graceful. “She will scrupulously avoid whatever is offensive or unwomanly. She will look well to her personal appearance; no…
“The good wife is a good housekeeper. The wife who would be happy, and make her home happy and permanently beautiful must work with her hands at the housewifely tasks which the days in turn bring to her. The foundation of wedded happiness is good housekeeping. In other words, good breakfasts, dinners and suppers, a well-kept house, order, system, promptness, punctuality, good cheer – far more than any young lovers – dream does happiness in married life depend upon such…
There’s an ER doctor who wants all of his nurses to get the Covid vaccination, but 50 percent refuse to get it. They’ve been taking care of Covid patients for the past year and a half and have seen that those dying from it are mostly obese and unhealthy. They don’t trust the vaccine. The doctor said that he can’t look those nurses in the eye and tell them that they’re safer with the vaccine than without it, since the…

Many people lack discernment. Even many Christians lack this important quality. What is discernment? Here’s the 1828 Webster Dictionary’s definition: “DISCERNMENT, noun The act of discerning; also, the power or faculty of the mind, by which it distinguishes one thing from another, as truth from falsehood, virtue from vice; acuteness of judgment; power of perceiving differences of things or ideas, and their relations and tendencies. The errors of youth often proceed from the want of discernment.” I saw this in…
When looking for a new home, the first thing I looked for is a sunny home. I wanted a home with a western or southern exposure. I like a lot of sunlight in my home! It makes the home cheery. Homes that face the north have hardly any sun in them. I wouldn’t want a dark home. (I love a sunny church too, which we now attend! Truth is also preached boldly.) Florence Nightingale was a nurse from long ago….
Throughout my many years of mentoring women, I have never once mentored a woman in a difficult marriage to manufacture feelings of love towards her husband. In fact, I have never taught that feelings have anything to do with love. When I teach women to love their husbands, as I am commanded in Titus 2:4, I teach them to begin submitting to their husbands, learning what pleases them, serving them, being kind and affectionate towards them, kicking critical thoughts about…
Written By Hannah Schrock in No Greater Joy Magazine Growing up, Mama had a system and it worked to bring peace and stability to our large and growing family. Nearly every day when the clock rolled around to 4 pm, Mama would have us all start getting ready for the evening. We each cleaned up our jurisdiction, creating a neat environment so our minds were subconsciously more relaxed. Once things were in order, dinner was started. Mama always had dinner…

He can hopefully find a church through this link: Find a Church He needs…
All of the women in the Bible who couldn’t have children mourned deeply. Their own bodies were betraying them. Their monthly periods reminded them of this fact. Women were created with ovaries, wombs, eggs, fallopian tubes, and breasts. They were created to bear children. Women today who are barren and want children mourn deeply. Most women in the Bible had lives that revolved around being wives and mothers. There was no birth control. They needed husbands for protection and provision….
