Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. I put this newsletter together yesterday, shortly after I didn't wake up as early as I intended. My back was sore from exercising a little more than I'm used to--and bed felt better than the smell of coffee coming from
the kitchen. Let's just be realistic. Some days, sleep is THAT important. Today's posts are all about being realistic, rather than comparing ourselves to a fake standard. My goal
is to bring a little bit of Scripture, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of hope to your day. I love a good cup of coffee (brewed like this), but if
some other drink is more your style, I'm sure that will work. The point is for you to take a break from crazy living, just long enough for a sip of joy.
Daily Bible Verse“I will accept you as a sweet aroma when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the

A Realistic MotherBy Anne Elliott, AnneElliott.com One of the hardest parts of homeschooling for me is having unrealistic expectations of what I should and should not be doing as a homeschooling mom. At least once each year, I feel myself running after this fad or that, copying this friend or that,
seeking approval of this person or the other. When this happens, I need to go back to my goals for the year and remember why I’m homeschooling in the first place. Continue Reading.
The Psalm 104 DietBy Anne Elliott, AnnesHealthPlace.com A family member recently started experiencing an abnormal heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation), so I decided to see if the Bible had anything to say about a proper diet for the heart. Scripture never
disappoints! Psalm 104:14-15 were loaded with wise advice. Continue reading.

The Virtuous WomanBy Kevin Swanson, Generations.org The remainder of the chapter is taken up with the description of the “virtuous woman.” Continuing to advise her son, the wise mother lists the qualities of a good wife. Is there anything more important for a young man’s success than his choice of spouse? Every young man and woman should memorize these verses and meditate often on the qualities
listed. Importantly, the word for “virtuous” is taken from the Hebrew Chayil. It is better translated “valiant” or “highly effective.” From creation, God intended for the woman to be a helper appropriate for the man in his dominion work. As an ax head on an ax handle, the woman and the man unite to form an economic force that gets things done. Without the woman, the man is generally not fit
either emotionally or physically to take on the dominion work he has to do. But together, they form a team that gets the job done. Therefore, the Proverbs 31 woman is better pictured by Vermeer’s Milk Maid than by some anorexic model on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine. She is courageous, productive, active, strong, and faithful in her role as wife and mother. The word is a military word used for an army that usually wins its battles. This woman knows how to get the job done as she acts
upon the vision of the household. She is a doer. Read more. |
