Our Parents ~ Part 1

5/19/2025

 
by Tiffany S.
from Virtuous Daughters, August 2014~Volume 14, Number 4

Lately I have been pondering the tremendous blessing of my loving parents. I have always been grateful for them, of course; but as I grow older, I notice even more keenly their fervency in prayers, their perpetual sacrifices, and the immense responsibility which they take quite seriously. In this article, I hope to convey to my sisters in Christ some thoughts regarding how we can express our gratitude to our parents, practical ways to be a blessing to them, and ideas for a deeper relationship with them.

Mother's Day Note from a Mother

5/12/2025

 
by Cheryl S.
from Virtuous Daughters, May 2008~Volume 8, Number 2 

   Mother’s Day has always been a cherished day for me. But perhaps not as you think. Mother’s Day is a day that I can’t help but rejoice in my heart and in my Lord for my children. My heart is always swelled with gratitude to, first of all, my Lord for allowing me to be a mother and blessing me with children, and secondly, my children for who they are to me not just on Mother’s Day, but every day of the year.
  
​You see, girls, it’s who you are every day to your mother that makes that day so priceless. No gift bought for her one day a year can replace daily love, honor, and obedience. I encourage you, girls, to never forget that you were first a gift given to your parents by the Lord, and as you get older, you are a gift given to your parents by yourselves.

Five Highly Effective Ways to Honor Your Parents

5/5/2025

from Virtuous Daughters, May 2017~Volume 17, Number 2

In a day and age when skinny jeans, fair-trade vanilla soy lattes, and iPhones are commonplace, it may seem like the idea of honoring your parents is archaic. However, as Christians, we understand that the Scriptures are timeless. They were written for a people, both then and now, with an aptitude to concoct all sorts of sin and rebellion in their hearts. I find it comforting to know that the roads we travel are well worn, and that the very malady that strains our familial relationships, relies on Scripture for its cure.

Putting on a Father-Daughter Banquet

3/24/2025

from Virtuous Daughters, June 2008~Volume 8, Number 3

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Last month I was privileged to host a father/daughter banquet for our church. Tiffany asked me to share about it with you. I pray that you might be edified and inspired to have your own banquet if the Lord so directs!

​This was the third year our church had a father/daughter banquet. A young lady in her twenties had started doing it three years ago with the desire to be an encouragement to younger girls. Last year I helped another young lady put it on, and then this year I was in charge! I really enjoyed putting it together, though it was a lot of work! The greatest thing was seeing the different ways that the Lord blessed my endeavors and those of the ones who were helping me.

Faithful in the Small Things

What do you think are the most desired qualities in a wife and mother? That she can cook a mouth-watering roast? Or bake up scrumptious scones? Or maybe keep the home neat as a pin? Maybe running a household of ten smoothly? Or maybe being able to knit a cardigan, teach seven homeschoolers, and feed the baby all at the same time?! All these skills are wonderful and would be greatly appreciated by a husband :), but the most important thing as we prepare to be a godly wife and mother is…

our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

What it means to be a Virtuous Daughter

8/26/2024

 
by Emily 
from Virtuous Daughters, November 2010~Volume 10, Number 8

As Christian young ladies, it is our goal to become virtuous daughters. But what is a virtuous daughter, and how can we become one? The thirty-first chapter of Proverbs depicts the many qualities of a virtuous woman. If we look at the different characteristics discussed throughout the passage, we can begin to form a picture of what we should be. To become just such a daughter, it is important that we look to the Lord and His Word for instruction and for an example to follow. It is only with Christ’s help that we can become what He wants us to be!

The Tongue

8/5/2024

 
by Tiffany S.
from Virtuous Daughters, September 2016~Volume 16, Number 6

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”--Proverbs 18:21 There have been times when I’ve had to apologize for things I have said. How we must seek the Lord to guard our tongue! Proverbs 17:28 comes to mind: “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.”
   
​At the same time, Proverbs 18:21 tells us that the tongue has the potential to provide life. Sometimes it does need to be exercised. The following points emphasize words that we are commanded in Scripture to speak. I hope these thoughts encourage all of us as we seek to glorify God with this “little member” that can wield so much power.

We have, at one time or another, used all of these ideas in our family! Some of them became such favorites that they are often requested by the younger ones. :) I hope your family will enjoy them as well

Cross Roads*

2/26/2024

 
by Tiffany S.
from Virtuous Daughters, August 2010~Volume 10, Number 5

She is thirteen years old and thoughtfully stands at a fork in the road of life. To the left is an attractive, wide path. “Popular” would be an appropriate one-word description, since much of the world and all her peers are happily traveling on it. They seem to enjoy this new adventure. To the right is a more narrow trail. She sees no one on it at the particular moment, but the worn pathway gives evidence that it has been used throughout the centuries and that occasionally, another pilgrim journeys through it.

She glances both ways. Which way should she go? Which way is best? Everyone seems to be enjoying the beginning of the path on the left, but what consequences will it reap in the end? Is it always that exciting, that easy? Just because everyone is taking the broad trail, does that mean she should? Which way should she go?
