Do You Know What Is Going On In Your Country?
We are talking about making a home in the empty nest years and also trusting that even if you aren’t in the empty nest years that you may get some insight into some things to prepare for and to even implement into your life today. One of those things on the list should be loving and knowing your country. For me, that is the United States of America. Did you sleep through history class when you were young and missed out on some key points? Well, I must have, because as I’ve made it a habit to read about…
Now Is The Time to Get Fit!
I’m still trying to lose the weight that I gained with my babies! Oh wait, my baby is now 30 years old! That excuse is not working anymore. When I had our first baby girl, I gained almost 60 pounds. Yep, crazy, right? I maybe lost half of it before I had our baby boy. I then gained, of course, while expecting him. So, it all began, I just packed it on year after year, day by day. I never really tried to lose weight. I wanted to, but obviously not bad enough. I was busy with life; ministry, homeschooling…
Living a Life for Christ
Remember all those years wondering if you would ever be able to be consistent in your time of praying and reading your Bible daily without all the fun interruptions of caring for your children? Well, this is it! When your children have soared out of the nest, you are now responsible for every second of your day and you get to plan it with what works best for you. Sounds so selfish, doesn’t it? Your days are designed a little bit different now. Setting a time to sit in the quiet with just you and your Bible is important. Reading…
A Forgiving Heart
Today we are going to talk about, Forgiveness. You might be saying, “Beverly, what does forgiveness have to do in Making a Full House a Home for Two?” When we are setting the tone of our home, we want it to be peaceful, right? Where unforgiveness lives, you probably won’t find much peace. Having a forgiving heart is an important trait to have regardless of what season of life you are in. The sooner you can develop a forgiving heart, the happier your home and life will be. The older we get, the more life experiences we have and guess…
Be Your Authentic Self
Welcome back to my Write 31 Days series on, Making a Full House a Home For Two. We are talking about life after our children leave our little nest that we have spent many years building. Our kiddos have left and are now soaring like eagles. If you are like me, you looked at yourself in the mirror and said, “Now what?” Yesterday we talked about Embracing the life that we have, right now. We don’t want to be wishing it away or saying, “I’ll work on that later.” We have now and we need to embrace where we…
Embrace Life!
How many times did you tell your children to not worry about anything and just enjoy life? If you are like me, you said that many times over the years. What about you? Do you enjoy life? Are you enjoying your life as it is today? It is important that whatever season of life you are in, that you enjoy and make it the best…right now….today! Sometimes, we can get in the habit of always looking forward to something that we miss out on the NOW. An example for me would be that I am anxiously awaiting the return of…
