Lest We Forget

20:40

I pray you are blessed this ANZAC season by reading this beautiful poem reminding us of our soldiers' heroic sacrifice and pointing us to the greatest Sacrifice of all time.

Watched the parade in the city, the young and old marching

The different musical bands

Different nationalities, Divisions

Sea, Earth and Sky

Navy, Army and Air force, Police, Fire brigade,

Ambulance, Nurses, all marching.

The public were clapping, cheering, some had posters saying “thankyou” which was much appreciated

All was very cheery and some teary-

Lest We Forget What?

The sacrifice many made costing lives

The sacrifice many made who lost loved ones

The hardships, struggles, loneliness, pain, hunger, thirst,

seeing mates wounded and killed.

And here we are thanking, encouraging, cheering, remembering as best we can what these men have done for our freedom.

The Holy Scriptures also speak of this because our

heavenly Father knew our weakness

Lest We Forget

The Lord was willing to lay down His life for us

He gave up everything, suffered horribly, died dreadfully

For our freedom, His love was so great

In the breaking of the bread

And the pouring of the wine

We eat and drink in Remembrance.

Lest We Forget

How a Stay-at-home Daughter can be a blessing to her Family Pt 2

23:49

Dear Friends, here is part two of our blog series featuring different ideas and ways that we as Stay-at-home daughters can use our skills, abilities, creativity, time and God given gifts to be an asset and blessing through serving like Christ to our families. To see the first blog post in this series you can find it Here..

We, Sabrina and myself, (Anita) pray you are both encouraged and blessed by this post.

Ironing

Ironing is something that I didn’t really go out of my way to learn until I was in my late teens, partially because we take pains to hang and fold our washing as to reduce the amount of clothing that we have to iron. However, over the years we have started to wear a few more clothes that require ironing to look their best and we have more of an ironing pile. My wonderful mother lovingly taught me the basics of the ironing and, since that time, it has become a time consuming task that I can help my family with if I have some down time.

Flower Arranging

Flower arranging is a lovely way to beautify your home and bring the beauty of outside inside. A flower arrangement does not have to be complicated to be beautiful, even a simple collection of garden flowers can be a lovely addition to the atmosphere of a room. Some of the skills of floristry can be learnt through books and classes, but much can be learnt through just practice and experimenting.

Rag rugs

This a hobby that I picked up when I was looking for a way to use up the excess rags that we had around the house. Little did I know that I had found a creative, useful and fun hobby. Not only does this hobby use up what would otherwise be wasted, but it also provides useful and attractive accessories for our home, as well as lovely gifts.

Events planning

Life is pretty busy in a family and especially for a mother and wife and sometimes she doesn’t have all the time she would like to perhaps plan a birthday party, Father’s day picnic, Sister bridal shower ect. Daughters can be a big help in the planning of events and activities for the family. They also usually have lots of energy and ideas to bring to the table.

Organisation

There is nothing quite like having a house well organised for time saving and well, just making house work and house life easier. Having an organised pantry, linen cupboard, laundry ect. Can be such a great time saver, you don’t need to search for matching container lids, wonder where all the clean towels are or try and find where the pink wrapping paper is hidden. Yes having cupboards and bits and bobs organised is a great idea, however organising them and keeping them organised does take time, creativity and effort. Daughter can be such an asset in this area. I for one do a lots of the bits and bobs organising in our home and know that this is a great blessing to my mother. One way that daughters can use organising to be a blessing is to tidy up that messy gift wrapping pile. This is one area of the house that is highly prone to getting untidy. You can get some inspiration from our gift wrap organising post here...

We hope that you have enjoyed this post and look forward to seeing you next week!

How a Stay-at-Home Daughter Can Be a Blessing to her Family

04:48

As stay at home daughters, Sabrina and myself would like to share with you a series of blog posts on ways we as daughters can bless our families. This weeks post is the first five points or ways we can use our energy, time, gifts and creativity to serve our Lord through serving our family! I pray you are both encouraged and blessed by these posts....

Cleaning

Cleaning is one of those tasks that always needs doing. There seems to be a never ending supply of items, places or things that need to be cleaned. Daughter’s can be such a big blessing in their home by lending their hands to serve by cleaning, whether it is dishes, that bathroom, the car, windows, washing, and the list goes on. I know it may seem a chore that goes mostly unnoticed but God see’s and knows the heart.

Proofread Books

This is one area that I, Sabrina, have a lot to do with. When I was young, my mother used to try and proofread the books that she gave me to read so that I would be protected from reading inappropriate or unsuitable content, a job that I am very thankful she did. As I became older, I started to take on the task of selecting my reading options myself and, through my mother’s guidance, became quite adept at being able to quickly discern the quality of a books content and notice the subtle lies that can be picked up subconsciously by the reader if they are not careful. Because I know how to do this, because I generally have more free time than my mother and because I love to read, I am now able to serve my mother and our whole family by researching and proofreading the books that come into the house and checking to make sure that they are appropriate to add to our collection. P. S. You can also proofread books you might want to put away in your hope chest for your own family one day....

Gardening/Maintenance

I know gardening and maintenance are usually seen as jobs for the men of the house yet I believe there are some really great ways women, mothers and especially daughters can be a blessing in this area. I for one have a very busy father and brother and they don’t always have the time to do the little bits of maintenance around the place that need doing. I however have more time on my hands and with their consent and instruction, (along with my mothers too) I can perhaps repaint the garden fence, plant the seedlings in the veggie garden, water the garden, pull weeds, mow the lawn and the list of items can go on and on.

Laundry

The task of doing the laundry does not fall to anyone outright in our family, although Mum ultimately makes sure that it gets done every week. Anita and I often will put a load on if we see that the laundry is piling up and, as hanging up the washing is one of our favourite household tasks, we can often be seen hanging up, taking down or folding and sorting the laundry, all ready and clean to be worn by the family.

Decorating cakes

Decorating cakes is a hobby that I personally find very enjoyable. I love it when there is a birthday coming up and I can try my hand at a new cake design. While my designs are probably a bit fancier than you would normally find at a birthday and my Mum could whipped up a special cake just as easily, by me making the cake for her, there’s one less thing for her to take care of when the birthday arrives.

We hope you enjoyed this post, Click here to read part two..
