by Rebekah from Virtuous Daughters, April 2015~Volume 15, Number 1 “Tying or binding up—captivating.” This is the meaning of the name, Rebekah, a girl found in the Bible. Rebekah was not only beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well. “...For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”—1 Samuel 16:7b
Right now we are going to take a peek into Rebekah’s heart as a young woman... by Susannah from Virtuous Daughters, August 2006~Volume 6, Number 5 Dear Young Ladies,
I have found that exercise helps a lot! I especially like doing it around the house, like…doing just ten jumping jacks. Or sometimes I have races with my siblings. That’s pretty fun! I also like running in the backyard with my dogs. You could also make a chart for yourself. And one thing that helped me get into the routine of exercising is to only do a little bit one day, then do more and more each day so that you get better. Also make up some stuff and mix it in with other exercises, and then have some fun with naming them weird stuff like “Hippopotamus Jump,” or something like that. Well, I hope you find my tips useful. In His Service, Susannah by Danielle from Virtuous Daughters, April 2003~Volume 3, Number 1 When looking for jewels,
You must look high and low, Here and there, and back again. If you don’t find one, Something must have gone wrong. For there are jewels, everywhere, High and low, here and there. And even more when you go back again. Every person is a jewel- A precious jewel, Their heart is a jewel, Their soul is a treasure, Their presence is worth more Than a thousand pieces of gold. And their love is worth more Than everything good in the world. So treasure them now, For someday they may not be there To love and make you happy. by Candace Joy from Virtuous Daughters, February 2009~Volume 8, Number 11 When I saw that this issue addressed the topic “Discerning the Will of God,” I immediately thought of a message that my pastor preached on “The Will of God.” I used the notes taken from his sermon as a springboard for this article.
by Sarah from Virtuous Daughters, February 2016~Volume 15, Number 11 “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” Isaiah 43:2
“And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.” Ezekiel 34:2 by Brianna from Virtuous Daughters, July 2003~Volume 3, Number 4 Cooking—what a subject! It’s a word that brings to mind thoughts of steaming, cinnamony, hot Apple pie or a cheese-loaded, pepperoni-smothered, homemade pizza just out of the oven! It might also bring to mind some flops with less desirable smells and tastes. Now I don’t know about you, but I really like to cook and the Lord has blessed me with a Mom and Grandma that love to cook too. And of course as with anyone who cooks or bakes, I have made many embarrassing and inedible dishes, of some I will relate to you here.
by Emily from Virtuous Daughters, October 2010~Volume 10, Number 7 God’s creation is certainly fascinating to study! From the features of the tiniest cell to the marvels found deep in the ocean, God’s handiwork clearly reminds us that He is the Creator! As we consider what the Lord has made, it should always point us back to Him. Also, there are many lessons we can learn from observing nature. In fact, there are a few things in nature that the Bible actually tells us to consider. Let’s take a look!
by Emily & her dad from Virtuous Daughters, July 2003~Volume 3, Number 4 Nearly everyone enjoys a tasty pasta dish. The variety of pastas, associated sauces, and serving methods seem endless. When properly selected and prepared, pasta can be a nutritious event, too. We’ve selected a handful of tips from our family which we hope will increase your enjoyment of pasta.
by Melanie from Virtuous Daughters, February 2007~Volume 6, Number 11 Dear Virtuous Daughters,
Cleaning is one of those things I don’t like to do, but I feel very glad once I’ve done it. (Exercising is another!) What helps me the most is to make a list of tasks needed to be completed. Then I feel I can break it down into smaller jobs. I feel overwhelmed when there is too much to do. I have to see it as a smaller job, and then I can tackle it. by Tiffany S. from Virtuous Daughters, October 2007~Volume 7, Number 7 Follow your heart and your dreams will come true . . . We’ve all heard it. And it does sound reasonable, right? It leads us to believe that we can truly rely on feelings to guide our daily lives… As a result, we’ll be happy and successful. I’m not sure who thought up this quote, but we can be sure he maintained a fervent belief in himself and in his own will.
When a new idea (or even an old idea) is presented to you, what is the proper action to take? Pull out the Word of God and see what He has to say about it. Our Lord’s infinite wisdom and authority is the only instruction that should dominate the way we live our lives. Thus said, when we hear the “follow your heart” notion, we should retreat to the Bible and see if this is a Biblical truth. |
