by Cheryl S. from Virtuous Daughters, March 2004~Volume 3, Number 12 Some encouragement for the dear mothers,
Even though I have never written to you before in this newsletter, I hoped to encourage you in this area. Time management…is this not something that all mothers struggle with at some point in their lives? When we stand before the throne of our heavenly Lord, will we have used our time wisely? Psalm 90:12 says, “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” And Ephesians 5:15-17 says, “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” A big topic that has been in our home lately is “Are you a ‘Martha’ or a ‘Mary’?” It all stemmed from a tape set that I recently purchased to help me with the #1 struggle I had been having over the last year…. by Tiffany S. 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 idea of a way to do that. by Christianne M. from Virtuous Daughters, December 2007~Volume 7, Number 9 What is Christmas? Is it just a national holiday? Where did it come from? First of all, what does holiday mean?

by Ligia from Virtuous Daughters, April/May 2020~Volume 20, Number 1 Kneeling down before my King,
My precious daughters to Him I bring. How can I raise them to be virtuous and true? Oh Lord, I'm weak; I need You. I can strive to teach them to be morally good, To say the right things, dress the right way, act in a way every lady should. But if I fail to teach them mercy, grace, and love, To live my own life only for God above Oh Lord, they need to be planted by the streams of living water, That is what will make them a truly virtuous daughter. So back on my knees before You I pray, Lord, You need to work in their heart, You are the only way. by Brittany S. from Virtuous Daughters, July 2006~Volume 6, Number 4 Dear Sisters,
The Bible says, “young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands that that word of God be not blasphemed.”—Titus 2:4–5 How can we apply to these verses? We can apply to part of these verses by babysitting. Babysitting does not only mean that you babysit children when the parents are gone. You can babysit children when the parents are there too. I know probably some of you girls aren’t allowed to babysit when your parents are away from home, and I'm not allowed to either... by Linda S. from Virtuous Daughters, August/September 2020~Volume 20, Number 3 “Daughter of mine, a woman so kind,
how did you grow up to be so fine?” A voice in answer so quiet and low, “you trained me up in the way I should go.” Proverbs 22:6 “Daughter of mine, so busy was I, how did I teach you, when found I time?” “Diligently you taught me all through the day, as a young child in a Mother's special way.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7 “Daughter of mine, If this be true, what are some things that I taught you?” “I learned to esteem others better than me. not to love only in words; but also in deed. Philippians 2:3, 1 John 3:18 I learned by example to love sisters and brothers, as I saw you look on the things of others. To always walk in truth you taught, God's commands taught from the heart.” Philippians 2:4, 3 John 1:4 “Mother of mine, You are so kind, You are the one who is so fine. I'd hear you pray, and learn how true, the realness of God is in you.” “Many a time I’ve failed and stumbled, Daughter of mine in tears I’m humbled.” LMS "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;" 1 Peter 1:15 by Tiffany S. from Virtuous Daughters, November 2014~Volume 14, Number 8 Dearest Sisters,
For the past year or so, God has been laying on my heart the importance of faithfulness to Him. I’d like to share with you some gleanings from the life of an ordinary man who held an ordinary job—yet he served an extraordinary God. by Brittany S. from Virtuous Daughters, July 2008~Volume 8, Number 4 Dear Virtuous Daughters,
One thing God has been teaching me lately is to apply Galatians 6:2 to my life. “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” It is easy to go on with life and only think about ourselves, but I have been trying to think about others instead. Sometimes I don’t want to “bear one another’s burdens,” but then I remember Galatians 6:2 and do it. After all, you can’t argue the Bible! |
