What Memoires have you choosen to make today?


And "where"
 have we chosen to make them?
                                                       
For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also.
                                    Matthew 6:21

What are your childhood Memories?
Are they of mom cookin great meals in the kitchen?
Playing with your cousins?
Watching favorite ole shows?
Traditions that only your family did.
Learning a craft from your mom.
Getting shown an old family recipe..




or

Are they of your parents being gone when you got home.
Do our children come home to an empty house?
No one to tell their day to, no one to listen to their thoughts
Mom being tired and worn out when she does get home.
And mentally spent.
(rightfully so).
All she wants to do is sit down for a minute..and she will get to you a in a little bit..
Even when we are home,,do our children still feels empty and alone?



Ladies..
Where is our treasure these days?
Is it of this world ?

work
status
climbing the ladder
keeping up with the Jones
appearances


What Memories are we making for our kids?
Because where we put our focus is where our treasure will be,
if we are focused on the things out side our homes,
 people, places and positions ,
they get and keep our attentions, thoughts and mind and heart..


Where does that leave our spouses and children?


Our children learn from us.
They will watch us and see what we give Value..
Is it our families ?
Or is it everything but..

Proverbs 3:27
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Ladies..
We need to take back "God's Design" for us.
Take back our Motherhood in raising, caring and training up a child.
Take back our Marriages..
Be the wife and Helpmate to our spouse that God intended.
Become the Heart of the Home that he cant wait to get home to..
Make your home the earthly refuge, where he feels comfort and peace.
Prov 31:11
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks for nothing of value
She brings him good, not harm,
Her children arise and call her blessed, her husband also
and he praises her.

We choose what Memories we will make today
in our Families..
What will you chose today..
Will it be to for your
family
or
the world?

I can not invest in the world and expect my family life to prosper.
The income predicts the outcome..
I choose to put, time, value, love,caring, tenderness, forgiveness,grace and value to my family.
Today !
Because God has blessed me with them, Today !



(I know this is straight to the point, but our families Need Us to come back to them, while there is still a family to come back too.
Satan in hard at work to destroy the family structure, but we can choose not to give him our family..)

Simplicity and Content


Welcome to Heart of the Home...

Ladies.. the Lord has really been speaking to me
lately about
Simplicity and Contentment..
You  know how it is when every where you go
some one says something, or you read something
and it all comes back to the subject that God
is trying to get across to us..
(and we have the nerve to think he isnt always involved in our everyday lives. Ha!)

Well his message to me , as Im sure a lot of you ladies
will feel the same way is.:

Why cant you just be "Content"?

Why do you thirst for more , cant you
enjoy what I have given you..

Why isnt it enough?

Dont you see the sun come up and shine for
you every morning?
The flower bloom, the wind blow,
the birds sing..
I do that for YOU..
Are you hungry? Do you have selter?
Arent there people around you that love you?
Including Me.
 

1 Timothy 6:5-7
But godliness with contentment is great gain. 
 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
 
Keep your lives free from the love of money
 and be content with what you have,
 because God has said,
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
I know what it is to be in need,
 and I know what it is to have plenty.
 I have learned the secret of being content
 in any and every situation,
whether well fed or hungry,
whether living in plenty or in want.

Be Joyful always, Pray continually
giving THANKS in all circumstances for this
is GODS will for you in Christ Jesus
1Thes 5:16
I pray we will all be
     content with where we are at this moment.
With what we have and stop this visious cycle of
I WANT...
I NEED...
I DESERVE....

Take delight in the LORD,
   and he will give you
 the desires of your heart
Psalms 37:4

Fill your cup

No one is more pleasurable to be around than a
person who has had her cup filled by the Lord..

Searching for the perfect, unfailing love in anyone
else is not only fruitless , it is miserably disappointing and destructive.
Oswald Chambers said it wonderfully when he said..
No love of the natural heart is safe unless the human heart has been satisfied by God First..


We have our "unmet " needs, and we carry them around all day  like an empty cup..
In one way  or another , we hold out that empty cup to the people in our lives and say
"Can someone please fill this? Even a tablespoon would help!"
 We seek to have our cup filled by  approval, affirmations , control, success
or immediate gratification, we are miserable until something is in it.


I have come to love and appreciate Psalms 143:8
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for i have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul..


Let Christ Love  fill your heart and soul first thing in the morning
and during the course of the day, anything else anyone is able
to offer could just be the overflow of the already full cup..

This person will never lack company or affection
because she draws daily from the well of
Gods Unfailing Love..

Col. 2:10
Ye are complete in Him.

Hang on Sweetie...

Even though you may not always see it..
God is working things out for  YOU.
He's taking the pieces of your life and turning them into
something Fresh and New...
Maybe you've been robbed of a peaceful childhood.
Turned your back on what God was calling you to,
or maybe you just need a fresh start
or nudged in the right directions

Well God is Saying
"Hang on Sweetie...
Im working things out for your good..

Because I Love You....

Trust God


We need to remember that husbands and wives have different roles
that are equally valued and needed.
Some times wives mistakenly think that Gods instructions for us
will  turn us into doormats who let their husbands take advantage of us
You can TRUST GOD in the role HE's assigned you.
Let HIM direct your steps in the path HE wants you to take.
He promises to be your teacher and to show you one step at a time ,
With each step He'll transform you into the wife He wants you to be
and the wife your husband needs you to be.

Knowing who you are in Christ,
frees you to be who you are.
God Created  You... and He will use your uniqueness to
complement your husbands...
And to continually reinforce your Oneness in marriage
.
