Quote on Family

"A sentence from Psalm 101 has been both challenging and convicting for me: 'I will walk in my house with blameless heart' (Psalm 101-2, NIV). When God speaks to me about being more loving, this verse reminds me to make application in my family first—and then to others. It forces me to ask, 'Am I more spiritual, more loving, or more fun somewhere else? Who gets my best—my family or others?'"

-- Jean Fleming, A Mother’s Heart

What a wonderful reminder...

That is powerful. Our "ministry" must always begin in our family, first with our husband, and then our children, then our immediate family outside the home. That's where "the rubber meets the road".
