God's love is sometimes hard on us.

Today was a special day!! It is Sunday and I am able to worship my Lord without fear of persecution.

That being said, I have a confession to make. I think sometime we may forget all the freedoms we do have in this great nation. The freedom-To worship!! I know I have succeeded in this department, the forgetting part. 

There are times when I go about my day just doing. I personally get caught up in the days attire and lose track of what I have to be thankful for. Beginning 2

weeks ago, our second car blew up. Now we own one car with no tags or insurance. We can't get tags or insurance because my husband was laid off for 4 months and we are now just getting the car payed up- so all our money goes to that plus bills. This past week we have had my daughter step on a nail- looks infected, and 4 people in our family have a 24-48 hour flu. Not good. Then.. today, everything was going smooth. However, the last 15 minutes before church brought on extreme  stress.  I could not find anything, I mean NOTHING, my 9 month old could wear. No pants, no matching socks, no shirt, absolutely no shoes. You at least had to have a matching pair of shoes to go to church in, right?! On top of that 3 more children I tried to scurry to the car, {yes

a car for 6 people} I think they got the point, eventually.  Well, I prayed and prayed for God to make everything go smoother. At least for today. Eventually, I found my son an outfit, at the bottom of the CLEAN clothes pile, {they don't fold themselves or skip to the drawer and jump in neatly folded} put them on him, and off we went to church. We were 5 minutes late to church- but hey!!! We made it!! The rest of the day went smooth. With the exception

Of my husband- he not so good. My medical expertise says he has an ear infection or strep throat. But he's the kind that will not go to the hospital over a little pain and fever. Even if it means infecting others. :( But, bless him he puts our care and needs over his own. Anyways, point being, I have a God to worship. I God that loves us enough to fill our life with crazy moments like today and this 2 weeks to test us. It's like he's saying "Hey, I am right here. All you have to so is ask for help."  And when I did ask for help he came-

He gave us the opportunity to drive to our church revival and he let my family get well. Now, we are waiting on my husband to feel better and this newly gel formed earache of mine to heal. But God is there and he will help us through.. Faith is all we need. 

Here is a couple pictures of the kids in church today:) 

Character Traits of a Godly Homemaker

Character Traits of a Godly Homemaker

As a woman trying to do God's will, I strive to go beyond my own abilities and duties in order to do my job well. I believe it is my responsiblity, as a homemaker, to manage my families time and values as fit unto The Lord. I also seek to fill my home with feminine touchs and warmth. Making a home beautiful, comfortable, fragrance filled is a major step to proper home management. I also seek to honor and uphold my role as homemaker by keeping a clean and safe environment for my family.

1. Goes beyond her duty to do the job well.
Ecc. 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.

2. Is a wise manager of her families time and value.

3. Her homemaking is filled with feminine touches.
Prov. 7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry.

4. Adds warmth to her household.
Prov. 16:24 Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

5. She honors her role in the home.
Titus 2:3-5 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
