How to Stock the Missionary Closet at Your Church - From Lou Ann Keiser, veteran missionary serving in Spain: "Every missionary appreciates a missionary closet! It shows you care about your missionaries and about what they’re doing on the field. If your church supports missionaries, this is one way your people can be a blessing to them."
8 Items For Christian Parents to Ponder - " . . . seriously consider the responsibility that God has entrusted to you for each one of your children." 
10 Ways to Extend God's Grace to Hurting People - Written for ministry leaders, this article is excellent for knowing how to show grace to those around us who are hurting.
He Calls - Excellent encouragement for us as wives and moms!
Homekeeping Skills You Need to Know - I recently discovered Clean Mana, and I love her direction and practical tips. This post answers 4 frequently-asked questions about home keeping.


That's all for this week!

Welcome to my weekly feature, Worth the Read, where I share with you the things I've read this week that have blessed me, inspired me, or convicted me. So grab a cuppa and join me. I hope you'll find something that you feel is worth your reading time!





The Rare Jewel of Christian Commitment - An excellent article on the rarity of commitment among Christians today (probably throughout history, too!). Timely and helpful!

How to be Productive According to the Bible - If you enjoy learning how to be more productive, you will like this article. Plain truth from the Bible about true productivity.

Don't Lose the Moments in the Middle of the Busyness - A fellow Etsy seller, who has created a successful business, reminds us to remember to keep the most important things the most important things.

Why Nobody Can Rationally Deny Jesus' Resurrection - "Is Jesus’ resurrection believable? Absolutely! In a court of law, the body of evidence is BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT!" By Pastor Cary Schmidt

Wings Like a Dove and a Back Like a Duck - "You can take a lot of criticism from the outside—you expect the world not always to like you. But when a Christian attacks—especially a friend—it hurts deeply." Advice intended for missionary women, but very helpful to anyone who experiences criticism and hurt. It was a great encouragement to me!

How Not To Become An Old Biddy - This is the top blog post I read this week! I'll be turning 50 this year, so the topic of aging is much on my mind. Barbara gives excellent, scriptural advice on growing old graciously - no matter what your age now. You are becoming right now the woman you will be. Don't be an old biddy!

Ten Things That Will Improve Your Life - I appreciated this back-to-basics type post that reminded me of the priority of my walk with God, while at the same time reminding me that it's not all about a list of do-good-things that will make me acceptable to God.

Intimacy or Familiarity - Another great reminder that walking with God is meant for intimacy with Him, not just familiarity. There is no substitute!

7 Lessons From 50 Shades of Grey - I haven't read the book and do not plan to watch the movie, but apparently millions of people have and will. I believe this blog entry is important to read. Not pretty. Not fun. Not entertaining. But so very necessary.

8 Lessons From the School of Prayer - This is a great article - and very convicting - about prayer and the lack of it in our lives. Good read!

Praying For Adult Children - This one resonated with me because . . . well, I have adult children! Many of you do also, and if you have small children now, someday they will be adults!

A few crafty things: 

Free Patterns to Sew For Valentine's Day - A few patterns and tutorials for Valentine's crafts.

15-Minute Pillow With French Seams - This looks very easy, even if you're a beginning seamstress.

The Most Popular Valentine's Day Ideas and Printables - Tons of good stuff here!

14 Snacks You Can Make at Home Instead of Buying - You just might find something here you want to try!

    I'm the wife of an independent Baptist pastor, mom of three adult children, Grammy to one little girl and another girl due in the spring of 2018. I love to read and sew. And laugh. A lot.
