How We Really Feel...

By -
Early last week, Beth Moore asked Minister's wives to answer one question:
As a Minister's wife, we thought you would like to know...
She asked to make the comments anonymous and about things that most would not think were very obvious.

During the Living Proof Live! She showed some of the comments in a video. I thought I would share them. I must say that as both a Minister's wife and a Minister's daughter, I have felt most of these at some time or another. There are some that I have never felt or had to deal with. (And no, the comment I shared was not included.)

There are three videos, and you should watch all three. You can imagine that there were times of laughter and some tears as all 1200 of us Minister's Wives viewed these videos together.

Tomorrow, I will share a lesson and diagram that we used throughout the conference, then we will be finished with posts about my weekend.

Laura I've enjoyeed you sharing the conference with us. you know that we've had to deal with a lot of those very things thru the years. As i watched the tears just started pouring, I'm not sure if from relief, because somebody finnaly acknowleged what we deal with or just the pain welling back up. I also think she did post yours. The one were she liked being a Ministers wife and Pastors daughter. Love Mom

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
