Death is inconvenient. It doesn’t work around your schedule. It adds work that no one has the energy to complete. It creates decisions that no one wants to have to make. Death won’t call you up and say “your loved one is on my list, what day does it suit you for me to take them?” Of course, were that to happen, the answer would be “never!”. So Death comes. He comes and takes your loved ones; leaving behind disrupted […]

My marriage post today is a bit different than usual. But I know there are many young ladies who read this site as well and I wanted to talk to them today. Dear single ladies, are you praying for your future husband? Not as in “Lord send me a man!” but praying for his soul. I remember reading Proverbs 31 as a young woman and the 12th verse really stood out to me. She will do him good and not […]

Give us clear vision, that we may know where to stand and what to stand for – because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything. ~ Peter Marshall, US Senate Chaplain 1947 Have you ever looked at yourself and asked “What do I stand for?” Have you ever seriously considered what your actions are telling the world? Sometimes I just go along with the flow and forget, that I as a Christian truly do stand for something […]
Becoming a Submissive Wife
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
One thing I have been trying to work on lately is becoming a submissive wife. Not a door mat, or someone who just agrees with everything he says, but submissive. Becoming a Submissive Wife: Trust me, I am anything but a doormat. If I disagree with something or someone it is likely that I will walk away or state that we will have to “agree to disagree” because that isn’t my viewpoint at all. In cases where I hold in […]

With Thanksgiving coming up, I have been thinking something over in my mind and thought I would ask you the same question. What does thanksgiving mean to you? To corporations it would seem that thanksgiving is Turkey Day. Time to push all these rich treats, and expensive foods. (we won’t even mention the day after Thanksgiving!) Saturday I needed some food for a family reunion we were having on Sunday and it was a bit crazy. Carts full of turkey […]

Our Unexpected Visitors

Last weekend we had some unexpected visitors, they marched right in and demanded to be fed. But I’m getting ahead of myself here. It was the big family get-together with uncles, aunts, and cousins, the day was filled with the usual. Lots of this: And plenty of these: We knew a few of our rather large number had slipped off, but with food time rapidly approaching we also knew they would come back and thought little more of […]

I was home schooled from 5th grade up. It is one of the best things my mom ever did for me. But even home school can have its problems. Those are usually the kids. 🙂 Moms, do you have any idea what’s going on in the school room when you walk out of it? My mom didn’t either! I think it’s just something about January, Christmas break is over, and even though we were supposed to be doing our school, […]

In honor of Fathers Day I am going to share five childhood memories about my dad. Pardon my brother’s head in the foreground 🙂 I was a daddy’s girl. I would do anything he did when I was young. Mom said I was in the shop with dad when he was working on a tractor once, and when I saw him wipe his greasy hands down the front of his jeans, I immediately wiped my grungy little hands down the […]
