Proverbs 31:26-27King James Version (KJV)

²⁶ She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
²⁷ She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

An Egyptian woman who spent more than four decades disguising herself as a man to provide for her family was recently awarded the country's highest award for motherhood.

Sisa Abu Daooh, 64, has been dressing like a man for 43 years. Her husband died in the early 1970s and she and her daughter quickly became destitute, so she took to disguising herself in clothing of the opposite sex for better employment opportunities.



Sis Abu Daooh

According to the World Economic Forum, at the time of her husband's death, less than 30 percent of women held jobs - compared to almost 80 percent of men.

Ms. Daooh spent seven years working in construction and other manual labor, earning less than a dollar a day, The New York Times reported. She eventually found less physically demanding work.

Work to do!

James 2:22New International Version (NIV)
²² You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.


A woman's work is never done.  I commend all mothers that put that extra ump into making sure their child understands the importance of knowledge.

Belief

John 3:16-18King James Version (KJV)
¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.mom
¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.


Today more than ever before it is very important mom's to help our children develop a Christian belief in GOD.
I remember my brother asking my mom why do I have to go to Church.  My mom said " because I said so pop".  With God the answer is the same. Because it is written it is so.  Only God won't pop you up side the head.  God has other way's to display his check and balance system

If you don't stand (believe) for something GOD.  You will fall for anything (the other guy).  This young man Miski in Texas did he think he would be known for finding a cure for the Ebola virus? Idiot!  I would love to ask his mother.  What were you talking about at the dinner table?

ISIS's young recruits aren't religious in the ways you might think. ISIS obviously drapes itself in a harsh brand of Islamic fundamentalism. But while the organization does have, among its founders and higher-ups, members with in-depth knowledge of the Muslim faith

You are not alone

Patience and love is required in each role.  During the course of any given day stop and call on Jesus.  Jesus allows us to have a smooth transition for each role we take on.  Mom's you are not alone.

Psalm 54:4New International Version (NIV)

God is my help in every need;

God does my every hunger feed;

God walks beside me guides my way

Through every moment of the day.

Deuteronomy 13:3King James Version (KJV)
³ Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Mom's have the power to develop and encourage our children to follow their Dreams. We care, develop and nurture our kids dreams. Yes that's what we do.

Food for Thought

Genesis 9:3

Pope Francis

Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

 

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Francis warned the rich and powerful on Tuesday that God will judge them on whether they fed the poor and cared for the Earth, his latest exhortation on the environment ahead of his eagerly-awaited encyclical on climate change and its effects on the world's most vulnerable.

 

"We must do what we can so that everyone has something to eat. But we must also remind the powerful of the Earth that God will call them to judgment one day," he said. "And there it will be revealed if they really tried to provide for him in every person, and if they did what they could to preserve the environment so that it could produce this food."

Caring

Jesus and Chid

1 Peter 5:7King James Version (KJV)
⁷ Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Care:  to make provision or look out (usually for love by for):

Will you care for the children while I am away?

 



Tequila Coulter

As mothers , women and human  beings  we have an innate responsibility to care for our children and love ones.  This is a built in mechanism bestowed to us by God. 

We develop the art of caring within our family unit. This is very important because Caring helps us form our value system and how we select our careers, education and who we allow into our personal space.

Quise isn't just a victor on the basketball court. He's a winner all around. And his mom couldn't be prouder. She says confidently: "Just because he has a disability doesn't mean that he can't do things that he wants to do. He's a normal child, has normal dreams, and he's gonna do it"

A Mothers Call

Jeremiah 31:15-17King James Version (KJV)

¹⁵ Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
¹⁶ Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

¹⁷ And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border

Fame or Fortune

1 Chronicles 5:24King James Version (KJV)

²⁴ And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.

Andy Warhol stated that in the future everyone will be world famous for 15 min in a lifetime.

Children today see so many negative images of what they consider success.  I have listen to so many young people say " I just wan to get paid".  Mom's as a role model we should display success everyday with the love of Jesus Christ. That is the most fruitful payday of all times and it keeps on giving.





Boko Haram ,ISIS and other anti Christ militant groups represent 15 plus minutes of hate not fame.

Before Jay-Z, Michael Jackson, Barack Obama and Ophra Winfrey the most celebrate person that walk the earth was JESUS CHRIST. That's right .  Jesus is the first man to teach us how to receive the kingdom God's treasures.


No Charge

Christ and child

The cost of raising a child today is $240,080 till the age of 18.  With God his services are free of charge.

Matthew 6:33King James Version (KJV)
³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

 Life is like a buffet.  We can pick and chose our heart desires. At the end of the meal we must pay (seeking the kingdom of God)  .  At the beginning of the day we all can pay our sin debt forward by giving our Thanks to God.
As a mom in your heart the greatest gift you can give your child is the knowledge and love of God .  That is the gift that keeps on giving. Just knowing their purpose in life and receiving information about the Gods Grace is a valuable asset .

Recipe of life

To all Moms you don't want to mess up this recipe.

Like baking a cake you don't put anything in the mixing bowl.

We live in a micro wave society where we tend
to short cut on a lot of things in life. Each one of us should take a look at 1 commandment for the next 10 days and share it with your family. This is one recipe you do not want to leave out any of the ingredients. Top it off with God and let it bake for the rest of your life.
If we had more of this conversation in our homes we could prevent a lot of this.

Demetrius Maxwell Records show Demetrius Blackwell, charged Saturday with attempted murder of 25-year-old officer Brian Moore, has had other cop run-ins.

The 6 commandment Thou shalt not kill, should be taught to all children by their parents. I see more women that care more about their weave than what their child is thinking.
 Today as a random act of kindness share a commandment with someone in need. Be a Blessing share a commandment today.
