"Serving" in the Home

Mother and Daughter Baking Together by Douglass Crockwell

"You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God’s fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts."
~ Spurgeon
"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me."

 ~ Matthew 25:40

    Have been using all the energies to get this new year going, but taking a few moments this afternoon to catch up with you, so glad I did, what great words of encouragement. Spurgeon is one of my favorites! It took me a long time to "get" this one!

      I'm still here....and that is so true, we really enjoyed the summer, and we pushed it till the end of the season. I'm now ready for fall! Well except to hang some fall leaves, with twinkly lights behind them. I really enjoy your posts, your going to have a hard time getting rid of me =).
