Audio 1

by Daughters of Decision | Job 21:2

I love being a mother of daughters! I can still remember the thrill that went through me as I heard our newborn daughter crying. That little cry reminded me that I was now a mother! Oh what joy! Two more daughters soon joined our family and they brought even more joy into our lives. Being a mother of three daughters is amazing! And I still have much to learn. Yet I am grateful for this opportunity to be able to share some of what I have learned and am learning with you.

I share as a mother who is continuing to learn how to love my daughters. It truly is a daily process and I have been blessed with daughters who are loving and quick to forgive.

“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

“You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

On this blog post I welcome you to join me in prayer for our children! God invites us to call to Him in prayer, and what better way to do this than to pray using the truths found in His Word?

Yesterday, Today, Forever

by | Sep 10, 2024 | Mom Blog, Audio, Posts, Sing

So many wonderful hymns are full of truth from the Scriptures! As you enjoy singing hymns with your children, your children will begin to lay up these truths in their hearts. And these hymns can remain with them, ready in their hearts to one day be sung with the next generation.

Hymns comfort, encourage, lift up our eyes to Jesus and renew our spirits. Let’s keep singing hymns!!

 

YESTERDAY, TODAY, FOREVER

Yesterday, today, forever,
Jesus is the same.
All may change, but Jesus never!
Glory to His name!
Glory to His name!
Glory to His name!
All may change, but Jesus never!
Glory to His name!

The Lord has put a new song of praise in my heart! The words in this song are found in Psalm 18:1-2a. They have brought comfort and encouragement many times over.

It is a joy to share this song with you as a personal testimony that God is truly my Deliverer! Would love to have you read the words of the song and sing along as you reflect on who God is in your life as well. Praise Him!

 

SCRIPTURE SONG

Psalm 18:1-2a

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress,
and my deliverer;
my God,

in whom I will trust;
the LORD is my deliverer.
I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
