Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the skies. You are awesome, O God, in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to His people. Praise be to God! Ps 68:35

We are big fans of family nights here in the Smallwood home. Any chance we get we, usually on a Friday night, we have a family night. It's simply a night that we set aside to spend quality time together. Often it's a movie and pizza or popcorn, but other nights there are themes. I've put together a list of inexpensive ideas. I'm hoping you'll use them to spend some quality time with your families! |

The Proverbs 31 woman drives me nuts. I wish she'd show up to church with a fresh piece of broccoli between her teeth. I think about her every so often. You know like right now when I read that "she sets about her work vigorously" and "works with eager hands." I look around to see dishes that are overtaking the counter and the laundry I stepped around in my bathroom. Then I read that "she gets up while it is still dark"-WHAT?? I can count on my fingers that number of times that I have gotten up "while it is still dark" and then she actually works? THEN I read that her family is clothed in scarlet...mine aren't, that's for sure. So I probably think about her every so often because I never give her the proper amount of time. Maybe I’m avoiding her. Maybe.

Rousing me from my sleep, I heard our daughter, Destiny, crying. Finally realizing she wasn’t going to stop crying, I went to check on her. She came into my arms with those little hiccup sobs laying her head on my shoulder, and I knew she wasn’t going to go back to sleep if I laid her right back down in her bed. It was still dark out and not yet time to get up, so I carried her back to our room and carefully climbed into bed situating the blankets to cover both of us with Destiny lying on my chest. Before snuggling down to sleep, she raised her head, looked over toward my husband, and laid her hand on his chest, which he promptly covered with his hand. She laid her head back down on my chest and comforted by Mommy and Daddy fell back to sleep. As I lay there wondering what could have caused her need to be comforted, I realized that my daughter and I were not much different. For more often than not, I have that same need to be comforted and sometimes only the comfort from my Heavenly Father will do.

Recently, several of us had dinner with the international evangelist Sammy Tippit. He said that for years he often stated that he grew up in a secular home with no spiritual heritage. But then recently he discovered a written description of his grandmother who died five years before he was born. It referred to her as a woman of prayer, and stated that she prayed so fervently the doors of the church shook when she prayed. Then Sammy understood why the first time he heard the Gospel, he repented and received Christ. Two nights later he was called to preach. His godly grandmother’s prayers were answered, too, for her son. Sammy’s father came to Christ shortly before he died. |

John 14:27, TLB. "I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn't fragile like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid." In the last three weeks, sometimes with my husband, Ted, sometimes without, I have counseled a couple in a broken marriage, encouraged a student not to drop out of school, attended numerous committee meetings, taught Sunday school, worked in the nursery, supervised and organized “Children’s Day”, took my turn cleaning the church, visited the sick, counseled a pregnant young woman considering an abortion, comforted two mothers who lost custody of their children, sang in the choir, worship team and helped with children’s music, confronted a drug-using mother, counseled two families with children in jail, talked to my family about my father’s failing health, worked my full-time job, etc. This is life as a ministry wife. |
