“The Glory of Children Is Their Father…”
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Children’s children are the crown of old men, And the glory of children is their father.
~ Proverbs 17:6
I had a wonderful father. Not a day goes by that I do not think of his broad, warm smile or wish I could hear his chuckle and see the twinkle in his eyes once again. He was [...]
Crying Out for More Children
Monday, May 26th, 2008Crying Out for More Children???
As I swooned with dizziness and nausea from my sixth pregnancy, my 6-year old son, in his childish excitement, asked, “Mommy, can you have twins? Because I can’t decide if I want a girl or a boy, so I just want both.” Able to manage a chuckle, I secretly thought, “What [...]
Silent Glory
Saturday, May 24th, 2008Homeschooling has brought me to a richer understanding of how deeply God’s plan for the Church involves families. A properly functioning Christian household stands as a light in a dark world, a burning torch lifted high, drawing those who are perishing to Christ.

Washing Feet
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Washing Feet
A mother toiled with all her might
Tending needs both day and night.
Cleaning, laundry, dirty dishes,
Changing diapers, giving kisses.
No one saw her faithful deeds

Long-standing readers of this blog know how I feel about the sacred calling of the homemaker. To me, God, in His infinite wisdom designed what He knew would be best for the family…a husband and wife team with the same vision and purpose, and distinctly different roles that work [...]
Imagine if They Had not Been Born!
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Just Imagine if They Had Not Been Born!!!
One of the things that most profoundly affects me about the idea of letting God be sovereign in the area of children, is the idea of who I may be preventing from being born, and how God has used the people of history to so powerfully impact the [...]
