Is there amusement in your home?

When I initially had my babies, I thought about what I required our family life to look like. One of the first things on my list was amusement. I wanted our family to be a place where people express amusement and where people laugh. I think love and amusement and recollections all go together; it is hard to have any of those things without in addition having the other. Does your home ring with amusement?

One of the studies affirmed that teens laugh twice as much as adults in their fifties. Once we exceed fifty, it is all descending and we stop laughing. That's heartbreak. However maybe we wouldn't stop if we promote amusement in our homes! So here are some random opinions on how you can promote amusement and laughter:

Play a lot with the kids

We laugh when we play; we laugh when we talk and we laugh when we are together and things happen. We don't tend to laugh when we are alone in our rooms doing our own thing. If you want to promote laughter, you have to in fact be together! And from time to time the things that you will end up laughing about are the things that you were totally upset about at the time.

Do ordinary things

Once you do spend time together, do it out of the ordinary ways! Do not just watch TV or movies, even if they are funny. The things that are hilarious tend to be the things that take place in daily life that you are paying notice enough to see the funny side in them. Aim to do odd and wonderful things with your family!

Do not constantly watch TV; sometimes play chess or board games, or go for walks in the park. We also do really strange things at the dinner table. We’d do funny face competition with the kids or we’d have details questions after dinner, and you couldn't leave the table until you got something right. Spend time together out of your regular household tasks, doing weird things, and you'll without doubt laugh!

Give kids permission to laugh at you

This begins when they are toddlers. Each time I did something stupid, I would go running to wherever my kids were and I'd say, "Look how Mummy put my blouse on inside out! And we'd all laugh. Children like to laugh. They like to feel that they can laugh at their parents, too, because while kids want to feel safe, they don't want to feel like their parents must be perfect. If you give your children the feeling that they must always think you are perfect, your children will feel unfaithful and untruthful when they become aware that you are not perfect. So offer them safe ways to chat about your fault!

Also if Daddy does something funny, too, let the kids know about the funny thing he did, and laugh! Of course, you do not want to make fun of, and you surely do not want to allow your children to make fun of each other. There is a difference between healthy laughter and laughing at someone, you must teach your children the difference. Although it will be simple to learn if you model it from the start!

How do you express amusement in your home? Let me know!

You are Special!

You are special. Has this ever comes across your mind? You can do incredible things in a way that no one else can. You are amazing! The Bible says you are fearfully and wonderfully made. God made you with such respect. If He made you with respect, then what would it be like for you to have a sense of value, worth and respect for yourself? I believe that because you and I were made in His image, our ability for greatness is huge!

The truth is more than a few do not feel that way. The majority of us as children are very delighted about life. We love to dream and to have fun. It doesn’t take long for the song in our hearts to die away. It doesn’t take long to hear messages akin to “you can’t do that; you’re a fool; who do you think you are”? We consent to these messages and they turn out to be the typescript through which we do our life. We all start out special as originals just to end up as copies. Before you know it, we discover our lives dancing to the beat of a different hit. All the way through we find out that we have been hard-pressed into a style that somebody else has given us and it doesn’t fit very well.

I accept as true, it is time for you to get well, to build up your strength, your heart, your voice and your enthusiasm. You were born to create, to dream, to explore and to impact and influence everything you lay a hand on! Don’t undervalue your importance or value. You are precious and special and there is no one else like you and no one else can do what you do.

God created you to be different from everyone else, and that's why you are special. Don’t give anyone permission to take away your happiness, your vision or your passion. You matter, your dreams matter and more greatly, you matter to the One above us. He knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb and He loves you.

Be blessed today.

Marriage is God Idea!

Today we celebrated William and Katie’s wedding. It was awesome! They both declared their promises in front of God that they will love, comfort, and honour and protect each other as long as they both live.

“Marriage is a gift from God, The Lord God said, “It s not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him” (Genesis 2: 18-24) NIV.

God creative work was not complete until he made a woman. He could have made her from the dust of the ground, as he made man. God chose, however, to make her from the man’s flesh and bone. In so doing, he illustrated for us that in marriage man and woman symbolically are united into one. This is a mystical union of the couple’s hearts and lives. Throughout the Bible, God treat this special partnership seriously. If you are married or planning to be married, are you willing to keep the commitment that makes the two of you one? The goal in marriage should be more than friendship; it should be oneness.

“So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” (Matthew 19:6) NIV. Jesus made God ideal very plain, he approved one kind of marriage bond, man to woman. These become one flesh, one before God. Rom: 1:24-27. Heterosexual monogamy is God’s plan for marriage, the best plan and the only one.

May God Bless them!

Our ultimate goal as Christian women is to find him. Finding him is a key to increasing in God’s favor and the more closer you are the more of his favor you will experience.

Be strong and courageous, and do the work.
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God is with you. (1 Chron. 28:20) NIV

Fear can stop us. The size of a job, its hazard, or the demands of the situation can cause us to freeze up and do nothing. One therapy for fear is established here: Don’t focus on the fear; instead, get to work. Getting started is time and again the most difficult and frightening part of a job.

My goal is to help women like you to find their God given abilities and learn them to prosper and grow them. Life is about taking steps that move you forward. You do not have to worry about going forward quickly. What is important is that you are moving and that you keep moving until you rich your goals. By that point you will have achieved so much more confidence in what you are doing that you will most possibly discover a way to move beyond those limits.

You have the ability to become successful Christian women and to sow favor into the lives of others and anticipate favor to come back to you as you reap. So do not give up! I encourage you to keep sowing, asks God to show you place to sow! I try to sow something every day for the reason that I want to reap something every day. So I look for opportunities to sow I encourage you to look for every opportunity you can find to sow favor and to become a successful women of God.

So Successful women of God, “Let us become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people , especially to those who belong to the family of believers (Galatians 5: 9-10) NIV.

We may enjoy motivation from one another and we may worship together. We gather together to share our faith and to strengthen one another in the Lord.

The Bible states:

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching (Hebrew 10: 24- 25) NIV.
I believe this is true of your Christian Ministry too. This is the reason why Successful Christian Women Blog has been created. When you follow the blog, by God grace, I believe you will meet frequently other Christian women in your same situation, via online, for motivation and encouragement.

Jointly we will praise God for our success, pray for each other’s needs, and talk about what it actually means to be a successful Christian woman in all area of our lives. We will motivation one another; strengthen one another and worship together. I hope this blog http://successfulchristianwomen.blogspot.com/ will encourage you to begin to expect favor and to increase in your life, in your home, in your ministry, and in your business. Thank you!

May God Bless you!

Love,

Hope.

Never let yourself to be abstracted by others trying to redirect your dream that has been set for you. Pause, evaluate the state and carry on moving forward on the precise path toward your goals. Never let other people change you to be the person they want you to be. God made you as an individual, so stay true to who you are!

How much time do we spend at home? Some of us spend many hours a week in our home. What do we do with all the time? Some hang around at home watching TV or sitting on the laptop with facebook, or eating and drinking.

So what happens to those hours? So it might be good to start thinking about your future and the future of your family. So, what are your opinions? What do you do in your home? And is it worrying? Let me know!

An Agent OF Change

2011-04-05T06:57:00.000-07:00

As an agent of change, my dream is to transform lives and to be somebody who doesn’t repeatedly accept things the way they are but to take hold of an option that Jesus called, the Kingdom of God. My invitation to you is to become part of a powerful protest movement as an agent of change to transform lives.

What do you think about the world and how would you describe the society? Spend some time and think about our society and neighbourhood. Now, if you were to write a list of what you have done to transform people lives. What would be your answers and where do you stand?
