Promote Women Within

I just saw a commercial on TV that brought tears to my eyes. A young lady was interviewing for a job she did not have ( according to hiring standards) all the credentials the position called for. However; she told the employer (with confidence) she did not graduate with a college degree, but she graduated from high school without a phone, a car, or a computer. She said, “I currently have two jobs and take care of my parents”.   The interviewer told her she is not what he is looking for, but she is exactly what he needed to fill the position. Why did it bring tears to my eyes? Even though this was a commercial, there was truth in it. We don’t market ourselves enough and many job seekers interview with the mentality of “they need this job”, instead of letting the employer know, “ you are what that company needs”! We have lost our tenacity and courage it takes to interview, with confidence, to get the position. Even though you did not attend college and get the knowled...

Inheritance is to transmit genetic qualities from parent to child. Pattern is the regular way something is repeated or done. So now that the definitions of the two have been defined for you now let's put it in how it is used in our everyday lives.  Heart disease, your height, the color of your eyes, your hair color, sickle cell anemia, etc. are genetic qualities that are hereditary. Making apple pie the way Grandmother did, using the same laundry detergent because your Mother used it, or folding clothes a certain way are things that are patterned. I'm not sure many of our children have experienced a Mother getting up early before they go to school, and breakfast was on the table. You sat down as a family, prayed as a family and even washed the dishes and had time to sit and watch a little television before you had to go to school. Good memories! It's a benefit for the children to be in bed at reasonable time so you are able to spend time with your husb...

How many of you have heard, "Never correct a child out of anger".  Another true statement is, "If you are that mad at a child that if you hit them you could hurt them. The first thing to do is walk away, and calm down. Once you have self-control, then come back and correct your child". How a toddler treats other children (rage, hitting, hugging, etc) that's what they see and experience in the home. Not all cases are so, but many are. If you are quick to react in anger to your child that's how they react to other children ~ or playing Mommy and Daddy with a baby doll ~ shaking it, hitting it in the face, telling it to sit down and shut up! Children are a blessing from God and we are to raise them the way God would have us to.   Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4 NLT)  Single  parent homes (by choice) is...

What is an opportunity? We can look it up in the dictionary together. The first definition comes up as “ a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something”. The second definition is, “ a chance for employment or promotion.”  Yes, I’m going to use the first definition; in which God makes it possible to do something good daily. Whether, to you, it’s minor or major, your benevolence (act of kindness) entertains the angels of Heaven. “ Do not forget   or  neglect   or  refuse to extend hospitality to strangers [in the brotherhood—being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it. ” (Hebrews 13:2 AMP) And family members should be the first on the list. We look outside the home instead of how we can be of service to each other in the home. It’s important to serve one another, help one another and above all, truly s...
