"A loving family is a treasure from God. If God has blessed you with a close knit, supportive clan, offer a word of thanks to your Creator.He has given you one of His most precious earthly possessions. Your obligation , in response to God's gift, is to treat your family in ways that are consistent with His commandments."
"Even when the demands of everyday life are great, you must never forget that, as a mother, you are entrusted with a profound responsibility : nurturing the spiritual growth of your family."
"When you place God squarely in the center of your family's life -when you worship Him, praise Him, trust Him, and love Him-then He will most certainly bless you and yours in ways you could have scarcely imagined." Excerpt from " Purpose for Everyday Living for Mothers"
"Unless the Lord build the house,
they labor in vain who build it;...."
Psalm 127:1

A long time ago when we weren't walking with the Lord, my mother kept telling me that if we'd give our all to God then he would begin blessing us and helping us. We were trying to find a house and nothing was working out. We both knew we needed to get back in church and give our hearts back to the Lord. When we did, miraculous things began happening in our lives! Our family has been so much happier ever since!!
:) Not that we don't have our share of heartaches, but now we can all go to God in prayer together. What power God gives in united prayer!
What a wonderful testimony to our Lord's faithfulness! I am so glad to know you have such a good mom...you are blessed.
And you are so right, we are not alone with our unique struggles, our Precious Father is with us loving us all the time!
