TABITHA'S HOME

   My daughter and I are studying  Beautiful Girlhood together. A lovely book filled with helps and truths to teach our developing young ladies. Mabel Hale the author shared her wise yet heart filled teachings during the turn of the century. Still, today as we read each chapter: wisdom is digested deep with our minds and hearts. Shelley Noonan has written a study guide, of which helps both my daughter and I to share our hearts even more. The lessons learned here will be passed from generation to generation.
   The chapter we read today was Home Life. I decided for Tabitha's grammar (she is just 11 years old) that she can write a small paper on what is a home. Here is what she shared; short but oh so precious.

TABITHA’S HOME 
By TABITHA SNOWDEN

  My home is more than a house. A house is where your stuff is, a home is wherever coziness comes alive. A home is anywhere your self comes out and feels at rest. A house is where parties and celebrations of life come alive. I like welcoming people in and making them feel at home. A house is a building a home is where you live, love is shared, prayer is offered and Bibles are all around. In addition, a home does not mean a house, it means wherever family is; a home is there. We are family; we stick together no matter what. Homelessness sometimes means people without shelter or sometimes means people that do not share a home. A home should not have to be big it could be small. It does not have to be perfect just homey. My home: friends say, it is cozy and nice (I like that). A home is where I feel at home not a house. Homes are nice to be in where you never want to leave. THAT IS MY HOME.    
   THANK YOU!

On a cute note, she hand wrote this and it was over a page long. She was so disappointed  after she typed it that it was as short as it was.

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows:                       POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE  We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag.  FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER  (Rev. Paul Gray)  MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN.                       ...

BRINGING PEACE TO YOUR HUSBAND

   Two posts (blogs) ago I said I would continue to look at attaining true peace in our lives. [Sweet Tranquility] Then I promised you that I would continue to expound on having this peace spread through out our home beginning with ‘we’ ladies being the vessel of peace for our husbands.  As I have prayed over this, studied it in God’s Word and in other resources for quite awhile…my ending prognosis is that this study could continue for decades! Peace ; we pray for peace, it's our New Years Resolutions ...it is a salutation in most countries. Yet, everywhere we turn we only observe fruits of turmoil (opposite of peace).  In three thousand  three hundred and fifty years between 1500 B.C. and 1850 A.D. there were only 286 years spent without a war taking place on the globe somewhere. That's thirteen years of war for every year of peace. At that same period of time eight thousand peace treaties were broken.  Today;  2 million coup...

Living the Dream

I have probably one of the most 'spiritual' face book home pages around. My friends post scriptural banners, quotes, prayer requests & praises . I usually get a great up-lift reading my face book. Recently, it seemed many were writing about 'Dreams'. One really jumped out; basically they were challenging the thought (I believe fact) dreams are every day; what we are experiencing today, which is our family, friends, experiences,work, ministry and prayer times. I have always been a dreamer since I was a little girl. When I was little I loved the Walton's-needless to  say my dream then (get this now): was to be a writer, movie star, have 7 kids and live in a big house in the country. Uh huh...yup; unrealistic; but I sure loved the Walton's. Then, when I turned 12 yrs. old at church camp the Lord called me into the Mission Field. When I turned 14 yrs. old, the Lord gave me a heart for India; and was blessed with the opportunity of going there as well. ...
