If you've got a family culture of singing, and you teach your kids good songs, you, too, can have the pleasure of hearing your three-year-old bellow at the top of his voice THINE ARM OF MERCY HELD ME UP WHEN SINKING IN DESPAIR

Thanksgiving is a sovereign holiday and has the right to defend itself from attempts by Christmas to violate its borders

Washable ones are about $5 each on Amazon and they're great for a host of other uses, but if you've got a real stomach bug you might just want to get disposable ones from the grocery store! In a pinch, you can use a trash bag with an old towel or sheet on top for comfort

Young men are being told that love of people, place, and inheritance is itself morally suspicious. God’s Word never told them to become men from nowhere so they could love their neighbor. You were born into a house somebody else built. Your fathers arrived first, and so did the language, the churches, the laws, the wars, the sins, and the graves. You did not make this nation. You were handed a debt, not an entitlement. Inheritance bestows obligations. You are a steward standing between your grandfather and your grandson, and both have a right to something from you. Conserve what your fathers did faithfully. Confess what they did wickedly. Repair what they ruined. Build what the next generation will need. Do it all for the Lordship of Christ. God “made from one man every nation of mankind” and set the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek Him (Acts 17:26-27). Love your people. Keep your borders. Perform the stewardship Christ laid on you. Pastors, give young men that vision before they take their questions somewhere poisonous.

Obeying the biblical commands for wives is like a little boost for your marriage Try asking your husband a question about the Bible. See how it increases his confidence when he sees that you respect him & his opinions. Your affection for him may increase 🙂 An excellent tonic!

My personal experience is that our relationship has been deeper and stronger since I started doing this often and with intention. His self-respect and confidence increased. I highly recommend it!

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Why expose one’s midriff? I don’t get it, even though the trend started when I was young. Awkward. Femininity thoughts schoolforhousewives.substack…
