Thirsty Thursdays

"For every beast of the forest is Mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird of the mountains, and everything that moves in the field is Mine. If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and all it contains. Shall I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of male goats? Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High; Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me." Psalm 50:10-15

I really needed this verse today!

"Fruitful Friday!"

Ask your husband to tell you one thing that he would want when he gets home from work. That for my husband is a hot cup of coffee. For another husband it may be closer to dinner time and he would like to come home to dinner on the table.

A good friend of mine and I were talking about the need to serve our families and the "old fashion" way of running your household. In God's Word, He gives you Proverbs 31:10-31. I know most of you are very familiar with these verses and I have been challenged and excited to bring my family back to that way of doing things. Don't worry if someone thinks that you are being old fashion, you are not in THIS modern day way of doing things. My husband was hesitant to even suggest something when I asked him this question, but I believe that is serving my husband, that is a way to respect my husband, to have him as my head. I joyfully make him coffee, have the house picked up when he comes home, (most of the time ;) ) and try and have the children at the door to greet him. I want our home to be peaceful, and a wonderful place to rejuvenate before the next morning of work.

"An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels." Proverbs 31:10 NASB.

Now that is exciting and what a goal to strive for!

A Brilliant Idea!

So... I am really digging using my blog as encouragment, good laughs (ie. "spider-man" and funny goggle girl), and I know that I am not publishing this as a scrapbook. I am however VERY interested in exciting my friends and family who may read this, about the Word of God and the honor it is to be a woman of God!! I love these words that go with the certain day of the week, so Fridays I am naming "Fruitful Fridays!" I love it!! I want to put a recipe out there, a verse that encourages you over the weekend to serve your family, a craft (yeah-ya crafts!) or any stirring things that God is showing me at this time in my life. I am so thrilled to have an outlet to plug into, to reach my intimate group of friends who read my blog!

Thirsty Thursdays (late)

"She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: Many daughters have done nobly, but you excel them all. Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised, give her the product of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates." Proverbs 31:27-31 NASB

Sillyness

Avery loves being Spider-man, I found him putting his figurines up on the edge of his bed and couldn't resist molding this particular one into different moves and asking Avery "what does he look like now?"

Thirsty Thursdays

So I have been following many bloggers that have fun little things they post on a particular day and I wanted a reason to share some of my favorite scriptures. So every Thursday will now be 'Thirsty Thursday'. :)


"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? And why ware you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?' For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:25-34 NASB
