He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!
Psalms 113:9
Yes, he does. I was just remembering the other day how badly I wanted children. I have run across so many quotes in scripture about the blessing of children and bringing them up to love the Lord. I don't know how people just don't want a dozen of them. I would love it. My children are all at an age where all of our "training" is bearing fruit and I love spending time educating them in their faith. I just about have all of their homeschool curriculum and I am SO EXCITED!!!! That being said, I have been spending less time on-line per my husbands request. Sorry for the lack of updates but priorities, you know. Things are still going great around here. There is a beautiful rhythm in our home now which I LOVE. I have continued with my Proverbs study. I think it is one of the best things I have done spiritually for myself in a long, long time. I pray before I open my Bible and ask God to bless me with Wisdom through his word. I also pray for Him to answer specific things that are weighing on my heart. It is blessing me in a profound way. I am planning on continuing this throughout my life and teaching the kids my favorite passages. Alex, especially, has been open to learning scripture and I want to foster that. I believe scripture meditation and memorization are essential to having a strong spiritual life. I found these great scripture cards for the kids at Bibliomania. We have been going over them a little at dinner. One of the first ones I opened was this favorite scripture of mine:
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, on your own intelligence rely not; In all of your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3: 5, 6.Hope your day is blessed:-)
