Serving the Lord {and Wise Woman Linkup!}



The idea that the service to God should have only to do with a church altar, singing, reading, sacrifice, and the like is without doubt but the worst trick of the devil. How could the devil have led us more effectively astray than by the narrow conception that service to God takes place only in a church and by the works done therein.

 The whole world could abound with the services to the Lord, 

Worship - not only in churches but also in the home, kitchen, workshop, and field.

Celebrating a New Look (& Special Giveaway!!!}



We took a little time last week to give this space a brand new FRESH look that I was able to design when I had a bit of free time.  We hope that you love it as much as we do--this blog has had a few different looks in the past but we plan on sticking with this one for awhile! We are also looking forward to another exciting year  together with you (we have ALOT planned!).

And to celebrate we are going to have a giveaway! Will you celebrate with us?

We will be giving away a pretty SURPRISE Lilla Rose clip of our choice:


They are charming, practical, and super easy to use....


AND one FREE blog critique from our blog consulting business, Wise Woman Consulting, which teaches women how to monetize their blogs and earn income and how to advertise (great extra cash for the holidays)which also got a bit of a similar makeover:


You can read more details and what we offer here.

and  Michelle Duggar NEWEST DVD on Hospitality from Vision Forum:



The description: Filmed at a special ladies’ tea in San Antonio, Texas, and hosted by Beall Phillips, this film gives you an intimate 40 minutes with Michelle as she shares down-to-earth, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-tugging, examples of what hospitality looks like in the Duggar household. This transparent peek at Michelle’s personal experiences and lessons learned will give you new insights into executing biblical hospitality in your home as Michelle reveals the good, the bad, and the funny about mother-of-nineteen hospitality!

Home and Family




“The family should be a closely knit group. 

The home should be a self-contained shelter of security;

a kind of school where life’s basic lessons are taught;

and a kind of church where God is honored; 

a place where wholesome recreation and simple pleasures are enjoyed."



~ Billy Graham

The Quiet Teachings of the Nursery




O dear mothers, you have a very sacred trust reposed in you by God! He has in effect said to you, "Take this child and nurse it for Me, and I will give you your wages!" You are called to equip the future man of God, that he may be thoroughly furnished unto every good work. If God spares you, you may live to hear that pretty boy speak the gospel to thousands, and you will have the sweet reflection in your heart that the quiet teachings of the nursery led the man to love God and serve Him.

Those who think that a mother detained at home by her little family is doing nothing, think the reverse of what is true. Scarcely may the godly mother be able to leave her home for a place of worship; but do not dream that she is lost to the work of the church; far from it, she is doing the best possible service for her Lord!

 Mothers, the godly training of your offspring is your first and most pressing duty. Christian women, by teaching children the Holy Scriptures, are as much fulfilling their part for the Lord, as Moses in judging Israel, or Solomon in building the temple!


-Christian Training of Children, Charles Spurgeon
