Queen of the Home 1

In December, I took advantage of Vision Forum's end-of-the year sale and purchased a few books.  The first one that I read is Queen of the Home by Jennifer McBride.
I've wanted this book for a long time, but never took the time to order it.  But when I got the email from Vision Forum advertising the sale, I knew I couldn't miss the opportunity! And I have not been disappointed.  It is a wonderful, encouraging  book celebrating Biblical womanhood. I consider it one of my treasures, and I plan on reading it again soon. 

Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing quotes, poems, etc., from the book, with the hope that you will be blessed as much as I have.

The first  quote is a very powerful one, as they all are....

"The home is also the place where those who will later run our nation are trained - or not trained.  Do you want honest, upright, able men to guide our country's future? Those men are sitting in high chairs today in your dining room. They are digging trenches in the flowerbeds. If we do not want another generation of  greedy, power-hungry politicians, we must nurture and train the leaders we desire within our own homes."

 Have a blessed day, friends!

  3. I love the cover painting. Looking forward to more quotes. Thank you, Lisa. I hope you are getting enough to eat! I feel so badly for you, friend. That restricted diet does sound so sparse.
