by Christianne from Virtuous Daughters, April 2008~Volume 8, Number 1 People prepare for many things: they prepare for college, retirement, events, vacation, foreign travel, etc. If they are traveling, they will research the place they are traveling to, the culture, the food, the language, and the people. Since people go to such lengths to prepare for these short-term pursuits, young ladies should be going to great lengths to prepare for something that will last longer—marriage.
by Amelia G. from Virtuous Daughters, April 2018~Volume 18, Number 1 An accident. A cancer diagnosis. A terminal illness. A miscarriage or child born prematurely. It pains our hearts to see our friends, neighbors, and church family hurting from medical crises. We want to help lift their burdens, but it can be difficult to know how best to help. Sometimes it is difficult to find ways to help because we don’t really understand what they are going through or we don’t know what the person or family needs. Sometimes we might even wonder if our efforts to help are truly helpful. Though each crisis and each family’s experience is different, there are many things you can do to help these hurting people regardless of the specifics of their situation. Through my own family’s experiences with medical crises and my nursing training, I would like to share with you some thoughts and practical ideas to empower you to effectively meet the needs of those in medical crisis around you.
by Cindy from Virtuous Daughters, October 2003~Volume 3, Number 7 Girls, have you ever had a really hard day and nothing has gone right? You got up late, had to rush through breakfast to get started on school work, then you’ve got piano practice and chores to do before helping mom with dinner, and the list goes on and on? You can say—no shout—with Elijah, “I’ve had enough, Lord!” (1 Kings 19:4)
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 Emily M. from Virtuous Daughters, November 2008~Volume 8, Number 8 Ahh . . . Dessert!! What a sweet thought! As the leaves fall from the trees and snow begins to fall (at least in my part of the country!), I find myself spending quite a bit of time in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes and making old favorites. Desserts are my favorite things to bake. Most desserts are chocked full off unhealthy fats, sugars, and artificial ingredients. As I bake, my desire is to produce a flavorful yet healthy product.
Ever since I started cooking as a young child, my parents have reinforced this important principle for quality food: “Quality food should not only taste good, but it should look good, be good for you, and be good for the budget.” This principle has served to guide me as I’ve progressed in my cooking skills. However, it is challenging to apply this principle to desserts, especially the “be good for you” part! Here are some of the ways I’ve learned and ways I’m working on to make desserts fit the principle: by Gina L. from Virtuous Daughters, August 2016~Volume 16, Number 5 "Panning for Gold" Proverbs 31 Study Series Part 5 ~Proverbs 31:14~ Proverbs 31:14 says the Virtuous Woman is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar. We must not be so quick to spiritualize everything in Scripture (though I think that we can safely draw some applications in time), but first let us actually consider what is being stated here by God in His Word.
