More amazing points about the attitudes God wants us to have toward work. If you can put these principles into operation in your family life, it will become like heaven on earth. We will begin the last L next week. It’s going to be exciting. 

We continue talking today about teaching our children to LOVE TO LABOR. God speaks so much about work and diligence in the Bible and also speaks strongly against laziness. Today we begin discussing all the attitudes God wants us to have towards work. We got to 17 points with 9 more to go! Did you know that when we work with all our might, it is the same Hebrew that is used to describe how God brought out the children of Israel out of Egypt “with His MIGHTY POWER.” That’s how we are meant to work. 

Michele and I speak today about teaching our children to work. No, not how to work, but how to LOVE TO LABOR! How do we instill this love to work in our children? Check it out.

Today Michele and I chat together about teaching our children to LOVE TO LEARN. One of the secrets of learning is first learning is to listen. We cannot learn unless we develop the art of listening. Come on in and listen for more ways to teach our children the secrets of learning.

Michele Schrum talks with me today about how they raise their children according to the four L's. The first is to LOVE THE LORD. We can't make our children love the Lord so how can it happen? In what ways can we help them and exemplify this?

Have you heard of the Georgia Guidestones? And did you hear that they are  now wiped out? Listen to the story. In this podcast I also share with you  the last four descriptions of the land of motherhood. The last one is the  greatest of all. It is the GLORY OF ALL LANDS! After hearing these 20  descriptions you are certainly going to know that God has brought you into a  BLESSED land. God calls motherhood an "exalted" career.

Allison Hartman is with me again and we continue speaking about living in rest as a mother. That doesn't mean we are living easy, peaceful lives.  Allison and her husband Daniel run a photography business plus Allison has new ideas and projects coming out of her brain every day. Our home is continually overflowing with people. What does it really mean to live in rest? Allison also shares about her vision and purpose to raise productive children who know how to work hard! Her family are certainly a testimony. It is amazing what they accomplish.

Today I have Allison Hartman from Pensacola, Florida with me. The Hartman's are staying with us for the week of 4th July. They are the family who organize the Above Rubies Family retreat in Panama Beach, Florida each year.  Allison talks about the next one coming up in April 2023. She also talks about starting a Farmer's Market in their community which is turning out a great blessing for them and the whole community. And we begin a new adventure in the land of motherhood. It's a land of living in rest. Well,  what is that like with the Hartman's and others packed into our home, taking on a project of painting our huge downstairs social room and our kitchen cupboards all in two days before they fly out to Arizona! Can we live in rest when everything is in a shambles?

Can you believe it? This is our sixth podcast about JOYFUL MOTHERING. To day we talk about the ways that God wants us to rejoice. Does He want us to rejoice a little bit, only when everything is going great, and when we feel in the mood? No, He explicitly tells us to rejoice greatly, exceedingly, and with all our hearts. And more! Find out how we can do this. And even though I haven't yet shared everything about joy, I promise we'll begin a new subject next week!

Another revolutionary podcast today with my daughter, Evangeline. She shares her story of mothering her young children in a small one room "hut" with no running water and cooking outside. Eventually, they had two rooms where she and her husband slept in the kitchen. No room for children's beds so they all slept on the floor in the main room. She tells how she learned to embrace her situation with joy and make it fun and how she has learned to CHOOSE JOY in every situation. Be ready for a challenge when Vange gets going! Evangeline is a mother of 10 and grandmother of six and three more on the way.
