Our read aloud today

Mon, 6 Aug 2007 12:08:00 -0500

The look on this child's face is the look that Charles had when I read the orginal Pinocchio to him this morning. He is loving the story. Again, I am amazed at how different the Disney movie and the orginal books are. I had missed so much by only watching the Disney movies and only reading the Disney movie books when I was a child. But I am caughting up and getting to enjoy these wonderful books with my children. When we finish Pinocchio we are going to read the orginal Peter Pan. The boys are going to love it!

Raising daughters

Sat, 9 Jun 2007 19:00:00 -0500

This is a quote from http://www.proverbs14verse1.blogspot.com/

"So many us all come in faithful obedience to worship God with our glorious femininity for I believe He will be pleased. Let us strive to be good, chaste, discreet and women that are sober as we respect our husbands and love our children. May our clothing be that of honor from living a godly life before God. May our beauty not be from expensive clothes worn in vanity to impress others but instead from the ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit that speaks louder and is much more lovelier than a woman demanding her own way. Biblical femininity and it's timeless beauty is unmistakeably upheld in the Word of God and we need to look no further to get the true, honest and life-changing definition.

"A woman who is not feminine is a monster in creation." Elizabeth Missing Sewell"

Well Catlyn is starting to want to pick out her own style of clothing. Well, lets just say she is wanting to choose along the lines of not appropriate! I am trying to point her in a different direction but still let her have her own identity and freedom of choice. It hard being a Mommy at times!:)

Prayer for Our Children

Sat, 9 Jun 2007 09:08:00 -0500

God our Father, you see your children growing up in an unsteady and confusing world: Show them that your ways give more life than the ways of the world, and that following you is better than chasing after selfish goals. Help them to take failure, not as a measure of their worth, but as a chance for a new start. Give them strength to hold their faith in you, and to keep alive their joy in your creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

BCP, 829
