Christmas Caroling Idea

12/23/2024

from Virtuous Daughters, December 2006~Volume 6, Number 9

Christmas—what a special time of year! For many, it is a favorite holiday. But the meaning goes far beyond cookies, music, and presents. It’s about the risen Christ Who has come to this world to save us from our sins. That is something to be excited about!
  
​Even though most of us are quite aware of this wonderful news, we occasionally take it for granted and do not joyfully share it with others. But Christmas is a time when we have ample opportunity to proclaim Christ’s birth, death, resurrection, and the gospel message. Here I would like to share with you an ideal way to do that.

A Day of Delighting in the Lord

11/4/2024

My Dear Sisters,
   
What do you do when you are in need of spiritual rejuvenation? We certainly “go in the strength of the Lord GOD” (Psalm 71:16), yet we still retain our human frailty and God knows that there are times when, like Elijah, “the journey is too much for thee.” Do you attend a Christian conference? read a devotional book? talk to family or a good friend? go on vacation? eat a chocolate candy? :) None of these are wrong and in fact may be a tremendous blessing (except for the chocolate!). However, there is one thing which is simply incomparable, it is so infinitely better. It worked for Elijah, it’s worked for Christians all through the ages, and I wholeheartedly recommend it: Spend a day with Jesus!

Thoughts on Biblical Kindness from the Story of David & Mephibosheth

10/14/2024

 
by Emily B.
from Virtuous Daughters, November 2014~Volume 14, Number 8

Throughout the passage of II Samuel 9, David’s compassionate care for Mephibosheth paints a beautiful picture of the Christ-like kindness that we all should desire to have for others. Although such kindness is often rare in the world today, the Lord is pleased to see it displayed in the lives of those who follow Him! Let’s consider a few thoughts that find their roots in this passage about David and Mephibosheth.

Lessons from a Blacksmith

9/2/2024

 
by Cheryl S.
from Virtuous Daughters, May 2005~Volume 5, Number 2

Recently, our family had the opportunity to volunteer at a pioneer festival.  After our “shift” was over, we walked around to see the different skills being demonstrated.  Because our son is fascinated with blacksmith work, we spent an extended period of time at the blacksmith shop.
   
​As we approached his work area, we noticed several items on his table in front of us.  There were nails, fancy hooks, knives, hammers, as well as many other useful items.  Even though the items were all for different uses, and were each uniquely made, they each bore a resemblance about them to which one could notice the special touch of their maker’s hand.

Trials - the Age of Opportunity

8/19/2024

from Virtuous Daughters, December 2019/January 2020~Volume 19, Number 5

"It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn Thy statutes."
Psalm 119:71

Trials. That simple word brings to your mind something real and personal that you have walked through in the past or are currently experiencing right now. Whether your trial is acknowledged by many who know you or remains private to you and the Lord, you know what that trial is, for "every heart knows its own bitterness" (Proverbs 14:10).

In a Love which cannot cease, I am His & He is Mine

by Tiffany S.
from Virtuous Daughters, June 2012~Volume 12, Number 3

“Ah, what a mercy that it is not
your hold of Christ that saves you,
but His hold of you! What a sweet fact
that it is not how you grasp His hand,
but His grasp of yours that saves you.”
 
“Trust all your concerns with Him
Who can never be taken from thee,
Who will never leave thee, and
Who will never let thee leave Him.”
~Charles Spurgeon~

The Mindset of a Heart Truly Waiting for the Lord

7/1/2024

 
by Kristen
from Virtuous Daughters, September 2015~Volume 15, Number 6
“Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!”  ~Psalm 27:14
 
Singleness can be such a lonely, discontented period for many young women.  However, it doesn’t have to be that way! An attitude of discontentment is an inward problem of the heart.  Instead of looking outward for things that will change our circumstances, we must look inward and change the condition of our hearts.  Our Heavenly Father wants us to rejoice always, in all circumstances, and through all trials that get thrown our way.  We don’t have the “right” to pick and choose, we must rejoice in all things in order to follow in the footsteps of our Savior.  Joy and contentment are choices, not emotions, which is why the Apostle Paul wrote, “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation.”
