Beth Moore conference...

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
This last fall I went to another Beth Moore Simulcast.  That was my 2nd one of her's and I do say I always walk away built up and encouraged.  This last year as I was there the main verse she started and used throughout the day was:


Proverbs 31:25-26- She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. 26  She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue.  

Now when Beth Moore started discussing this verse she cracked a joke about how we know women will open their mouths.  It was a good chuckle!  But a known fact is women speak on average 20,000 words a day compared to men with 7,000.   
I do have to say that in my marriage my husband is more of the talker and in the above stat our numbers are probably reversed.  

Beth Moore went on to discuss the 8 tastes of Kindness which I would love to share with you.

1. Kindness is not a weakness-  Luke 6:35-36  and Proverbs 11:16
2. Kindness is no an action; its a disposition.
                      (you can fake nice but not kindness)  
3. Kindness wears down when we do- Daniel 7:25
4. Kindness looks pain in the face- Job 6:28 and Titus 3:3-8
5. Kindess is a Savior-Eph 2:4-10
6. Kindness has a good memory-Psalm 106:7 and Hosea 11:4
7. Kindness craves an outlet- 2Samuel 9:1 and Acts 28:1-2
8. Kindness leaves a legacy.  

I go back and reflect on this because it is something I want to live out.  I want to be clothed in strength (not body but mind) and dignity with no fear of the future, and I want to open my mouth with wisdom and have the LAW of KINDNESS on it!  As a wife and mother it is so fitting!  In this Flanigan house I want to constantly examine myself to see if I am living in that way- trusting God to give me strength, wisdom, kindness, and live it by faith with  no worries or fear!  
I see a couple things too... 1.  I can ask God for wisdom and strength but I think you can seek it but practice faith and kindness.  Let the HOLY SPIRIT guide and direct and constantly be aware of these qualities in my every day conversations and living!  

Would love to hear some of your thoughts on this.  I think I might use those 2 verses has a headline on my blog!  :)

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
