Mothering Blindfolded: STORMS IN NORTH CAROLINA

STORMS IN NORTH CAROLINA

We recently had some bad weather pass through North Carolina. When I say bad weather, they were really bad storms and even tornados. Our cable line was knocked out and was taking forever to get back on-line, so we decided to switch to direct tv fayetteville. My kids were out of school because of the nasty weather and were going stir crazy being cooped up in the house without any television to watch. We had been planning on switching for a while, but after the two week long outage, we decided that it was definitely the time. We even added some of the premium movie channels, which I wish that I had before. I didn’t know what I was missing. My husband and I don’t watch a whole lot of television, but we do like to get in the bed and watch movies in our bedroom. I have been surprised by how many great movies are on those channels. We have watched everything from classics like “Gone with the Wind” to new releases like “Love and Other Drugs”. You don’t even have to pay to rent them!

Favorite Bible Verses

"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,^[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever."

Psalm 23

" Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored."

Titus 2:3-5

"An excellent wife, who can find?

For her worth is far above jewels.

The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.

She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.

She looks for wool and flax
And works with her hands in delight.

She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.

She rises also while it is still night
And gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.

She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.

She girds herself with strength
And makes her arms strong.

She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.

She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.

She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.

She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.

She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.

She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.

Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.

She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:

“Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.”

Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates."

Proverbs 31:10-31
