Mothers: Have you ever turned down a social invitation in order to spend
time with your family or tend to your home? Tell your children
(especially your daughters). That's a great opportunity to teach them
that one, it's okay to say no sometimes, two, family time should be
protected and treasured, and three, that you DO have a life and friends
outside of your home.<br />
<br />
And by the way . . . say YES to one or two of those
invitations!<br />

I can honestly say that if it weren’t for the robust sermon that my pastor preached the last time we met in person, my L<span class="text_exposed_show">oopy Factor would be substantially higher than today’s meter is registering.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
One of my biggest lightbulb moments occurred when he referenced John
Piper’s “don’t waste” series (don’t waste your life, your time, your
cancer, etc.) Our pastor encouraged us to embrace this time at home—be
still, and figure out how not to waste this unprecedented time.<br />
<br />
Well, I’m always at home. My office-based career changed when a
sweet-smelling little 8-pounder was placed in my arms. I come from a
long line of homebodies, so I have plenty of stamina for this time. But I
don’t want these days to look like all the others.<br />
<br />
I started
thinking of my children, who are always watching (especially my little
one--anyone else have a Nosy Rosey?) This is a big deal, a historical
event, and something that will be talked about for years to come. It’s
my job to make an impact. What will they see over these next few weeks?<br />
<br />
I want them to see me submit to authority. Regardless of our personal
feelings about elected officials, they have a huge team of highly
trained scientists giving them advice. They want success, and success to
them means a low number of deaths in our country. Now would be a great
time to consider <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+13%3A17&version=ESV" target="_blank">Hebrews 13:17</a> as a family.<br />
<br />
I want them to see me
treasuring our family time. We’ve seen the jokes about how we’d almost
rather take our chances with this virus than have to teach our children
Proof Theory, but be careful that they don’t overhear you complaining
about having extra time with them. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+18%3A10&version=ESV" target="_blank">Matthew 18:10</a>)<br />
<br />
I want them to
see me acting out of faith-filled confidence. You know the deal—trust
the Lord and wash your hands. Hope for vaccines and medicine and good
health, but don’t turn any of that into an idol. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+14%3A26&version=ESV" target="_blank">Proverbs 14:26</a>)<br />
<br />
I want them to see me loving my community. I will be checking on my
elderly friends daily, and if they need food or medicine or even if they
just get a hankering for their favorite brand of gingersnaps, I’m going
to be available to them. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=galatians+6%3A10&version=ESV" target="_blank">Galatians 6:10</a>)<br />
<br />
I want them to see me
being resilient. This one is hard for all of us; even our most
extroverted and spontaneous loved ones still like their routines, right?
But no one’s life turns out exactly the way we expect (and if yours has
so far, then hang on). You know how you put an address into the GPS but
then ignore its directions for a few steps? What message pops up on the
screen? “Recalculating.” That’s what we all need to learn to do in
these days. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=I+Thessalonians+5%3A18&version=ESV" target="_blank">I Thessalonians 5:18</a>)<br />
<br />
These are also days to relax
the rules a bit. There should be pajama parties, slightly later bedtimes
(don’t go crazy—kids need structure, and you need that time to spend
with your spouse or to take time for yourself), movie and popcorn
nights, and a lot of family time. Our grandchildren are going to ask our
children what this experience was like. Let’s plant some seeds (and
make some memories)!<br />

margins and then spend a year (or more) reading it, highlighting your
favorite passages, and writing notes in the margins--for the purpose of
giving it to your oldest child. Then buy another one and start all over
for your next child. Some couples divide them up--Mom does Bibles for
the girls and Dads for the boys.<br />

Have you done this for your children? Please join our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/StaceyWatts.laugh" target="_blank">Facebook </a>discussion and tell us all about it!<br />

<br />
Let go
of the lie that boundaries are bad.<br />
<br />
Children must learn to do for
themselves in order to desire doing for others. Esteeming a child to
the point that he still believes he is the center of your world beyond
age two produces the opposite result most well-intentioned parents want.
Your goal is to foster self respect, which grows respect for others.<br />
<br />
Holding on to your image of that sweet babe (who, just yesterday was
swaddled so tight!), keeps him and YOU from much happiness and growth.<br />

Whether it's a big storm or a weird shadow in the middle of the night,
scary moments are going to happen for our children. When they do, you
can bet they'll be watching to see how WE react to them. Adults who are
calm and fully in charge in the home allow their children to be
children: less anxiety and more self-confidence.Happily Parentinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04051257736010024194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632222128683600861.post-35547668454755406422020-02-05T13:42:00.000-05:002020-03-26T13:43:23.379-04:00Simplicity<br />

everything you hear. Carefully weigh and examine what people tell you. Not
everyone who talks about God comes from God. There are a lot of lying preachers
loose in the world.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>--I John 4:1 (the

<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">A colleague and I were talking recently about current events,
and we got into a discussion about feel-good messages. There seems to be a
movement geared toward women—especially self-proclaimed exhausted mothers—with
a lot of empty, pseudo-biblical banners. I commented, "You don't go to
church to hear what you want to hear but to hear what you need to hear."
Sure, no one wants their toes stepped on (figuratively or literally—kids, I’m
looking at you!) but I tell ya, those hard sermons and conversations are always
the most personal, and they stick with me long after my Sunday afternoon nap. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">We’re living in a society where books, conferences, Pinterest
posts, and Facebook memes are supposed to bandage the parts of our lives that
need repentance and the grace of Christ. The fact that we continue to seek
self-help books and messages proves that they aren’t helping us; otherwise,
we’d read the one book, get our lives together, and then go spend our
hard-earned dollars elsewhere. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Despite the warm fuzzies all these “well-intentioned”
messages send, RARELY do we hear what we NEED to hear, and thus starts a cycle
that begins to define us as well as our relationships. Oh sure, there may be
mantras to get up, get it together, you are woman, take up your banner . . . but
are we following sound theology as we go a-marching? As women, we are also a
pretty prideful group, no matter how far off the rails we’ve gotten riding the
Hot Mess Express. It’s almost as if the bigger your “mess,” the better your
yoga pants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">By the way, life as a woman is so much more than yoga pants,
wine, dry shampoo and *gasp* being mom . . . I digress.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">While feel-good messages make us feel—well, good (for a
bit)—they don’t call us to action. T</span><span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">hey just comfort us
while we stay in our collective mess. So m</span><span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">any lessons are left unlearned because
the steps to learn them are unpopular or too harsh. I'd venture a guess
frustration and joy are painfully amiss in these situations as well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When you think about the woman that God created you
to be, what does she look like? Is she a hesitant, self-absorbed girl who is
wearing yoga pants and a messy bun, drinking wine and pouring over a “go get
‘em, girl” book filled with vague, empty messages that aren’t even biblical? Or
is she respectable, confident, and hard-working? Is she timidly searching the
internet for answers to her questions, or is she a person who seeks and speaks
truth, understands what true love is, and acts as a formidable authority in her
own home?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Who do you go to when you need advice on womanhood?
Marriage? Parenting? Careers? Bible study? Take a careful look at who’s trying
to sell you their books and get you to come to their conferences. Do they have
their act together? Do you see fruit in their lives? Are they motivated by
sales, celebrity, and owning the most polished corner of the internet, or do
they have a passion for seeing you become a thriving woman in Christ?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And for that matter, do these people even KNOW the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When you’re reading God’s Word and seeking His
heart, then there will be times that you’ll feel comforted, protected, loved,
and satisfied. Celebrate those moments! But ladies, if you’re not also fairly
regularly feeling corrected, convicted, humbled, and flat-out schooled, then that
ain’t the gospel!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Our children need discipline and correction. Well,
guess what? We do too. And we need friends, mentors, and heroes who are willing
to remind you that life is not all about you, it’s about Christ, and if you’re
wallowing in your own mess, then you need a reality check. We NEED to hear what
is painful, we NEED correction, we NEED to redefine acts of love. If, as
parents, we never correct our children or allow them to fail—or, God forbid, be
sad--how are we showing them true love?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A child NEEDS to see a husband put his wife first and vice versa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A child NEEDS to know a husband and wife that
lead in the home. A child NEEDS to hear “no.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A child NEEDS limitation. But most of all, a child NEEDS you to step up
and be confident in who Christ calls us to be: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a loving authority in the home modeled after
His love and correction in our relationships with Him.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As women, we should not embrace the mess as a
collective effort. We are better than that, y’all!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Know His truth. Embrace the hard messages with the

<b>“I'll put on some Bing and we can believe for a marvelous,
miraculous, glorious Christmas season.” </b>--<i>Rachel Hauck, The Wedding
Dress Christmas</i></h3>
<br />
Normally we're one-holiday-at-a-time girls, but
sometimes <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wedding-Dress-Christmas-Romance-Collection-ebook/dp/B07YZQVHXC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1NT21J80X7OLF&keywords=the+wedding+dress+christmas+rachel+hauck&qid=1572390775&sprefix=wedding+dress+christmas+rache%2Caps%2C169&sr=8-1" target="_blank">a Christmas book</a> comes along that you just can't wait on
slowpoke December to get here to read.<br />
<br />
This is that book.<br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
Forget Mayberry, forget Stars Hollow . . . we want to live in Hearts
Bend. As you're urging your children to read and hoping for 100 Book
Club memberships, don't forget about your own pleasure reading. This one
is an instant mood-lifter. We highly recommend this book and this author!<br />
