"I am resolved, by the grace of God assisting me, to keep these resolutions which I have frequently made and do now again renew... I am resolved to believe in God, that he is a rewarder of all that diligently seek him, to believe firmly and constantly in all his attributes. I am resolved to fear him and love him with all the powers and faculties of my soul, and to keep a steady eye to his commands, and to govern myself in every circumstance of life by the rules of the gospel of Christ, whose disciple I profess myself and as such will live and die..."
There are so many wonderful features in the making of a home. This is a place where I would love for you to share your love for anything home-related. Homemaking, homeschooling and homesteading are all a part of the lovely art of home-making!
~~Please link up posts in the spirit of Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 (such as recipes, godly encouragement, DIY's, frugal living, child-raising, medicine making, preparedness, gardening, home decoration, school lessons, crafts, etc).~~ You are welcome to share as many posts as you like!
{I would love for you to choose at least one of these hand-picked posts and leave some comment love!}
1. Family New Year's Eve Party by Gentle Joy Photography ~ I love the idea of making a special New Year's Eve party at home with your immediate family and she goes all out! What wonderful memories she is giving her children! I am going to implement this concept next year.
2. New Year's Mom Challenge by Christianity Cove ~ The author invites us to take 7 mini challenges to bring our children closer to God in the New Year. It is time to get our true priorities in order.
3. Year of Jubilee 2015 by So Much at Home ~ Chris shares some interesting history, science and the Scriptures to explain why this new year (2015) is extra special. This would be a nice piece to share at the dinner table.

DeleteDo you have an instruction page for how to print out your free printables? My download page from Scribd does not show a print button. Thank you for such a wonderful website. I hope to put together a notebook with your tips and illustrations.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, Once it is downloaded, you should have a PDF file on the screen somewhere and can print from there. Or, go into your files (under downloads) and the printables should appear there and then you can print. If this doesn't work, you can always email me and I will send you the files :) I hope you enjoy putting together your notebooks. I find it therapeutic and fun!
DeleteThank you JES for allowing me to be a part of your wonderful party!
ReplyDeleteSweet blessings to you.
Debbie
So glad you can join us again! :)
DeleteHi! I was just wondering if you would mind sharing the artist's name for the painting of the lady writing by the window? I love it. Thank you! I have recently found your site and have found it so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your heart!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, Glad you like the painting. I believe the artist is Haynes King. Have a happy and healthy New Year!
