"Thank you for doing this. It is a message that is soooo needed. I am sure many women would love to know more on how to be pleasing to God and how to "Bring up your Child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" - and to be reassured that they are doing the right thing by staying home and keeping home and being aware and involved with the children, even if some are "not as bonded" (that statement bothers me so much) as others in the home... this being the time to direct the children in the direction they need to go - and making it a wonderful experience of closeness and loving fun times as well as times to discipline... and how important it is to be home so you catch the "troubling" behavior at the beginning of it - rather than when it has become part of the child's regular actions. Closeness in the family is so important. And you get closeness by being involved with your child - not always letting them play alone - but often playing with them..."
"I see Satan infiltrating the home in his deceptive way - making his gadgets so attractive... making the women think they are doing good by using them so much... "
"I see Satan infiltrating the home in his deceptive way - making his gadgets so attractive... making the women think they are doing good by using them so much... "
" 'Satan's gadgets'. I may have labeled them incorrectly - because most tools have their good uses, what the tool was meant to be used for - I am sometimes too passionate I think. I express myself too passionately too, because sometimes I scare people. Or they think I'm bonkers. But when I speak like this it is most often to Christian women and therefore I hope, it urges them on, to think about what they are spending their precious time on... gadgets to communicate with people?? or really communicating and being mentally involved with their kids. Making them realize what a waste of time these fancy phones, these fancy technical gadgets are... Bigger, better, faster ... we need to ask ourselves - how often do our children see us with a Bible open? actually reading it? How often does a child catch us on the computer or texting? What will we leave in our child's mind as the child absorbs everything like a sponge?"
"I realize the men who work in the work force to provide for their families, who need them - to them it is a tool (which can rule your life ) but the women need to put those things aside and stay domestic minded... challenging themselves to be a better mother, a better housekeeper, a better cook, washerwoman... a better Christian. Satan wants us to neglect our children. Our children are only with us for such a short time - if we only knew..."
"I find it a rare thing to see a young mother who is really INVOLVED with all her children - I thank God there are still some wonderful examples of 'a good mother'... putting self aside to meet the needs of their husband and children - not be so self indulging, or so self absorbed..."
"If women could realize that God has priorities we need to follow. Jesus first (obedience to God), others second, yourself last... J.O.Y."
"That when the children are gone? Then you will be able to do all the things you want to do that take so much of your mind and energy - creating comes later - right now your child's mind is developing tremendously fast - what we don't do with them now... they will not want to do with you later either... you are developing a precious close relationship... or you are not... you are the one who controls that - they are still little ones, wanting their mother's love and attention."
"Sometimes a friend visiting and a cup of tea are just such a good thing - but going out too much - to different Bible studies - neglecting the appearance of your home so that your husband sighs because of the dust and the dirt on the floor - pushing off until tomorrow what we should be doing right now... because we are going to 3 or 4 different Bible studies or 'good work' things - it's not such a good thing... if we are neglecting our children, our husband, our home..."
"There are many many women who have these concerns... and do their part in their section of God's Kingdom; thank you for writing what is on your heart."
I hope that you will benefit from her words as I have!
