On the Home Front

If you are anything like me, you grew up dreaming about the family you would mother someday.  Most likely, it looked like Leave it to Beaver, Dick and Jane, the Waltons, Father Knows Best, Eight is Enough or the Brady Bunch..........

But life is much different and far more disappointing than TV and movies.  Most often, it is not happily ever after......Family takes hard work and as Dr. James Dobson puts it, "Parenting is Not For Cowards"....... 

We parents must be bold and courageous and find solid and godly advice to perservere through life.......

But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."

~Joshua 24:15~

She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.  She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.  She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks...

~Proverbs 31:15-17~
