Anyone else been feeling a little crazy lately? Man alive…I’m positive I’m meeting myself as I’m going a different direction these days. But it’s all good, so I can’t complain, really.
I wanted to finish up with my posts regarding raising Christian families according to Deuteronomy 6:6-7. The last part of these verses say to talk about God when you lie down and when you get up. And what does this mean? Well, just exactly what it says. Bedtime and morning time are two of the best opportunities in each day to place your focus upon Christ. (more…)
I pray you had a blessed day yesterday with your family. I pray you were able to celebrate the joy of knowing Jesus Christ as your risen Savior, Redeemer, and friend. And I pray you remember that this joy is not available one day a year, but that you may live in this joy and peace year-round. (more…)
I’ve been blogging lately about raising your family according to the verse found in Deuteronomy 6:6-7:
These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
I began by discussing what it means to talk about God and a Godly lifestyle when you sit in your home. I discussed how this is intended to be planned time. It is formal instruction. It is INTENTIONAL decision-making, and follow through with your family. And I talked about discipline, responsibilities, social life, and family time & traditions.

I discussed how this is intended to be planned time. It is formal instruction. It is INTENTIONAL decision-making, and follow through with your family. And I talked about discipline. This post I wanted to finish up in this area of discussion by dealing with the topics of Responsibilities, Social Life, and Family Time & Traditions.

Remember what Deuteronomy 6:6-7 says:
These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them upon your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
In this post, I want to start talking about what it means to raise children when you sit at home. (more…)
My husband and I had the opportunity to speak to a group of couples this weekend about personalities in marriage and tips for raising Christian families. It was a really fun time as couples realized their differences, and similarities (which is sometimes the more challenging part) and learned how to coordinate those traits to better their marriage. After that I shared with them the Godly mandate found in Deuteronomy 6:6-7:
These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
