Happy Mother'sDay!


Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Proverbs 31: 28-29
I invite you to read the entire story of the Proverbs 31 Woman or The Virtuous Woman or the "Good Wife" (not to be confused with the TV show!) in chapter 31 of the book of Proverbs, verses 10-31. The writer says very little about her outward appearance but is more impressed with her inner qualities and her outward actions, he did not notice her looks.
The description of her ends with the testimony of those who knew her best: her children and her husband. Her children blessed her for their early training as they grew up and went out into public life.
Wishing each of you a wonderful day today and every-Day! Ladies you are one of a kind, in all the the universe there is no one else like you! You are uniquely made by God! He has a plan and a purpose fo each of your lives. "Many women do noble things," said her husband, 'but you surpass them all." No one could give this woman great compliments.
I have receive plaques and letters from many public organizations but when the people closest to me and live with me day in and day out say I have blessed them, that to me is "priceless." When my children tell me I'm a great Mom or my husband tells me I'm a fantastic wife, ten thousand words from someone else means far less in comparison.
As you read the story you may think to yourself, this woman is perfect! I could never be like her! She was incredible, but God would not use her as an example of the "excellent wife" unless we, too, could grow to become like her.
As you look at praise given to her and learn about her inward character, you should be encouraged to remember she had grown children. Her inward qualities did not appear overnight but we hammered out in the trials of life as she trusted God and obey Him.
The key to her success was that she feared The Lord. The writer said, "Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain. But a woman who fears God is truly charming and lovely." The virtuous wife first and foremost feared and worshipped God. She was trustworthy, industrious, organized, loving, and much more. The key to becoming like this wife, to becoming a creative counterpart, is to beging where she did, with a vital relationship with God. Our relationship with God, is the key to everything we do in life.
May you and your families be bless with every spiritual blessing - may you be the Proverbs 31 Woman, Mother and Wife that God created you to be!! May you receive it in Jesus Name! Amen

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
