Mom-Daughter Connection Ezine

Mom-Daughter Connection Ezine
Issue 39, December 17, 2007©

Hello Everyone!

This is the time of year when you really begin to count your blessings. If you haven’t, done so already stop and count your blessings. Most likely if you’re receiving this ezine you have children. I’m also sure that you believe that children are a blessing from the Lord. However, do you believe that you should in turn be a blessing to your children? Read my thoughts on this here on my blog…http://www.beautybydesignonline.com/2007/12/11/blessings/
We really do need to evaluate the way that we parent our children, we are the only parents that they will ever have. Your daughter will not have another mother to set a good example for her as a wife, a mom and a woman, so we must do the best that we can in this life that we lead. Your daughter will soon become a wife and mom herself, for some of you this may come sooner than you think.
As Christmas is fast approaching, I hope you are taking time to spend “quality time” with your daughters and/or other children passing down traditions and blessings to them.

Some Keys to Quiet Time

Quiet time or time alone with God is so important to all of us. I believe that it is how we as Christians grow in Christ. Becoming a Christian should be more to us than just “fire insurance” or a way to stay out of hell. I think it is important to emphasize to our children that being a Christian involves more than just accepting Jesus. It is about forming and growing a “relationship” with God. As a youth/children’s minister, I used this example many times. If you have any relationship, whether it is with a friend, a parent, a boyfriend/girlfriend, how do you get to know that person, through spending time with them right? And if you don’t spend time with them you cannot “get to know them”. The same goes with our relationship with God. We must spend time with Him in order to get to know Him, and there is no way that we will get to know Him if we do not spend time with Him. It is that simple. That is why our quiet time is so important.

The Christian life is a growth process, in order to grow we must spend time reading God’s word, talking to God, listening to God, memorizing Scripture, applying Scripture to our lives, all of these things we can do during our quiet time with God each day. There are some several “keys” to having a quiet time; I would like to briefly share some of them with you.

Keys to Quiet Time:

?Find a special place to have it.
?Bring your Bible, pen, paper and an open mind.
?Set aside a specific time each day.
?Be prepared to hear from God.
This is just the beginning of how to have a quiet time. I would love for you to join Cindy Rushton and I at the Talk-A-Latte chat on Tuesday, May 29, at 1 pm CST where will be discussing quiet times.
