Learning To Truly Love

2018-10-26

This is a guest post by my friend Ruth Schwenk from The Better Mom! This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.

Have you ever felt frustrated by your kids’ seeming indifference about all you do for them? Guess what? You are not alone. And it’s tough to love when you don’t always get a return.

This is a guest post by my friend Katie M. Reid, author of Made Like Martha: Good News For The Woman Who Gets Things Done. Katie writes: We want to be faithful with what (and who) has been entrusted to us, but it’s difficult to connect with God, our spouse, and our kids in the craziness of life. My husband and I recently celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary. Five loud and wonderful children are a sweet by-product of our union (ranging from two to fourteen). As you can imagine our calendar is full and our days are busy. It’s tricky to have an uninterrupted conversation with each other during the day.

The best thing to hold on to in life is each other.” – Audrey Hepburn My husband and I wake up every morning to a sign that says that exact quote. It was purposely placed to stare right at us hoping in turn we receive its message daily. Intentionally there as a reminder to us both that after God “the best thing to hold on to in life is each other!” “Each other” as in husband and wife, best friends, one with God, parents, a team, partners, lovers, wisdom and a gift from the Lord to each of us personally that should not ever be let go of.

2016-06-17

This is a beautiful and transparent article from a woman named Lydia, a woman who knew brokenness intimately and felt completely unworthy. That is until God showed her just how worthy she is!

Guest author Rebekah Madren, is a military wife and she is sharing with us today some incredible encouragement and insight into being a supportive wife.
