Tips Of The Day From The Elder To the Younger Wife
Tips
of the day from the "elder" to
the "younger" wife.
1. Get up early BEFORE your kids wake up for quiet time with God and your own personal time. (It makes a difference, and it’s biblical. Check it out).
2. Spend less and save more. Plan meals and write a grocery list. (Leave the family at home when you shop to avoid "extras in the basket"). Consider the ants.

3.
Set aside time for yourself too!!! A
drowning person can’t help someone else stay afloat. Likewise you can’t give your family your best
if you don’t take time to refresh and revive your own self. (Even Jesus took
time to steal away from the crowds).
4. Love,
honor, and respect your husband. Be
proud of the role you play as his helpmate and treasure.
5.
Train up your children in the Word (even the little ones can praise God and
learn simple verses).
6.
Avoid credit and credit cards like the plague! If you can't afford it, then
DON'T buy it. Set aside a little money at a time to make the purchase at a
later date if it is something you really desire. Wait on God's timing, he just
might provide it through someone else for free or you could find it at a
discounted price. Let me repeat, DON'T become a slave just leave credit and
credit cards alone for your own peace of mind! (Wish we had followed that one
when we were younger instead of still dealing with the consequences years
later.)
7.
Make your house a home! No matter how big or how small. Decorate it to fit the
way your family lives, and what you all love. Celebrate your family and their
accomplishments by displaying pictures, awards, and special "art
projects" created by the little ones. Take pictures of your children's
really special art projects, so you can have the memory of them forever without
all the paper buildup. (Even when my husband was in the military, and we had
extended stays at a hotel until we were able to get housing I would still add
my own touches to make it feel more "homey".) Fill your home with
love and compassion, not the latest gadgets!
OK,
the #7 is completion, so I think I’m done. :)
Be
blessed my sister,
Sis.

This
is dedicated to the couple who called us elderly and said they hang out with us
for wisdom. Lol. (You shall remain nameless to protect the guilty, but we still
love you!)
