Parenting is a divine calling that brings immense joy and fulfillment. As Christian women, we are blessed with the opportunity to nurture and guide our children in the ways of the Lord. Let’s delve into the joys of parenting through the wisdom of Scripture. Scripture Reading:  “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” (Psalm 127:3, KJV) The Bible reminds us that children are a precious gift from God. Each child is a unique blessing, entrusted to us to love, teach, and cherish. The joy of parenting can also come from seeing our children grow in faith, character, and wisdom. It is a journey filled with moments of laughter, learning, and love. Proverbs 22:6 encourages us to  “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”  This verse highlights the importance of our role in shaping our children’s spiritual and moral foundation. The seeds we plant today will bear fruit in their lives f...

Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Paul had to LEARN to be content and this is also something that we need to learn. In fact Paul also said in 1 Timothy 6:8 " And having food and raiment let us be therewith content ." He mentions food and clothing and doesn't even mention shelter! Most of us in western society have far more than just food and clothing! Can we learn to be content? Yes! Paul also goes on to say in 1 Timothy 6: 9-11, "9 But they that will be rich [meaning those who make their lives all about "the mighty dollar"] fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow afte...

  Proverbs 31:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. These are just some helpful suggestions, not rules that you have to follow, but are some things that have worked for me . If you are unable to be a full-time homemaker, you can adjust your schedule in a way that works for your family. God wants women, especially the young women, to be busy taking care of their families, studying His word and teaching her children Gods word. He doesn't want us being idle, nor to be busy doing things that are not profitable or edifying. 1 Tim 5:6 says, But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 1 Tim 5: 13 And withal they learn to be  idle , wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies (gossiping), speaking things which they ought not.  14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak repr...

Homemaking is very important to God. God actually speaks about women being homemakers in scripture. Let's look at some verses. Titus 2:5 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Proverbs 14:1  - Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Proverbs 31 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household , and eateth not the bread of idleness. 1 Timothy 5:14  - I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. Our lives as believers should not be all about worldly achievements and ambitions. When we are saved, the reason why God doesn't just take us up to heaven immediately is so that we can remain here a little while to: 1) Give the gospel to others. This would include our own children and teaching our children Gods word.   2) Read, study a...

Just as marriage is important to God, so is parenting. Fathers and mothers play such an important role in society. God cares deeply about Motherhood. The Lord Jesus Christ had his own earthly mother, a godly Jewish woman that nurtured and cared for him as he grew up. Though she was not perfect herself, she was one of the few people who stood by the Lord when he was being crucified.  Exodus 20:12 says,  "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."  Proverbs 31:28 says, "Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her" As Christian mothers we are to raise our children up in the word of God. Even as grandmother's we are to help teach our own grandchildren the word of God as well (if the parents hopefully permit it!). Timothy was brought up being taught the word of God by his mother and also perhaps by his grandmother. His Father was either an unbeliever or perhaps ...
