Some of us are willing to do all that He commands like pray, love others, give our time to the Lord’s work, but when it comes to our money, we cringe! We just can’t seem to let go of our pocketbooks very easily. The second commandment though says, “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth below or in the water under the earth.

Time for two people to share their thoughts and desires, get advice and to just listen. Imagine someone in your life you’re close too. Maybe it’s your spouse, relative or a friend. Now, imagine if they were constantly coming to you and telling you all their problems and yet they wouldn’t be quiet long enough for you to respond. Imagine them being in your presence talking, crying, and then they turned around and...]]></description><link>https://www.prayingwivesandmothersministries.com/post/spend-time-with-me</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5b81155e7d848635e18e9f</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 10:00:09 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>PrayingWives&amp;Mothers</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Follow Me]]></title><description><![CDATA[When we accepted the Lord into our hearts and lives, we acted in faith. We fully believed God sent His son and had him die on the cross for our sins. We also believed He rose on the third day, and because of that we were saved from an eternity in hell. We knew at that moment we were someday going to spend eternity with our heavenly father Jesus Christ. What an act of faith it took to choose to believe in something we had never seen, but knew we were saved.

If He chose to walk away from you, what would you miss? What would be different in your life? Think also about a good friend you have. Think of all the time that has been spent getting to really know each other. You can even at times finish each other’s sentences, and know each other’s likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. Maybe even at the beginning, before the friendship even took off, you knew about one another, but you didn’t really know them.

How many situations come up in one day that we have to make a choice? That choice to “walk in the flesh” or “walk in the spirit?” What are the consequences for our choices? I chose to “walk in the flesh” for many years. I chose to do what I wanted and when I wanted.

She said that some of the parents have commented that he is cute, but so shy. Also, that this has been said in front of him. She told me that she asked them not to say that, because she didn’t think he should hear it. She then told me a story about a little girl in one of her classes who was very little for her age.

The story goes as follows. Jesus was dining with a Pharisee at his house. They are sitting down with each other, and a woman walks in. This woman was known at that time as “a sinner.” Somehow this woman knew that Jesus was at this Pharisee’s house and went there on her own to see Him. She didn’t wait for an invitation – probably because she knew, deep down, she wouldn’t get one. So, she enters the house and stands at Jesus’ feet,...]]></description><link>https://www.prayingwivesandmothersministries.com/post/faith-forgiveness-peace-1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a29660a58ed7703e0c0506e</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2026 13:39:27 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3ced8f_c5245a257f364e58a643eea85ad0bd90~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>PrayingWives&amp;Mothers</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Pit was Meant for Good ]]></title><description><![CDATA[The story of Joseph begins in Genesis 37 and continues into chapter 50. The story is about his family, hardships, forgiveness and  family restoration.   Joseph’s story, in a quick version, is as follows. Joseph was the  son of Jacob, and he was his father’s favorite son because he was  born to his father when he was late in his age. His father made  Joseph a special coat to wear, and his brothers became very jealous of  him. Joseph also had two dreams and interpreted them.

I made the junior varsity team but not varsity like I had hoped. What else did I really expect! So, after one year of playing, learning, and getting some experience I felt like the next year I could make the varsity team if I practiced continually.
