Tidbits From Help Meets' Hearts Review and Giveaway!

 

I honestly can't even remember the last time I sat down with a group of girlfriends to have coffee and chat without the usual interruptions: "Don't yell. Don't run in the house. Don't run your scooter over your brother's head." 
And there are times when I need to know that the craziness of having two active boys only 21 months apart is normal. I have so many questions and fears; and often think I'm the only facing the hardships that are, in reality, just part of motherhood.
I had the honor to partner with 6 other amazing women from Marriage, Motherhood and Missions to author this book: Tidbits From Help Meets' Hearts". 
It really is from our hearts. 
We talk about:
How to make time for devotionHow to love our husbandsHow to raise our kids for ChristHomemakingMinistering outside our homesFinances...and then we just offer a word of encouragement from our hearts.

Ren expertly ushered in the topic of loving our husbands in a tasteful but challenging way that leaves you blushing, but nodding in both approval and agreement.  I love how Heather points out that we should ask our husbands what element of  homemaking is important to him. I wish I'd have thought of that, because I have learned by trial and error that my husband and I don't place importance on the same things. hmmm....

I loved Marissa's chapter on how our children mimic our actions, and how we need to display righteous acts for them to mimic. It really stuck with me, because my boys do this a lot. They repeat words I say, they play-act things I do -- and the thought came to me that perhaps I should schedule in some "quiet times" during their playtime. Let them play and have my devotions at the time during that time. Let it be natural, but let it be visible!

Bridget's story of Mrs. B who reached out to her touched me deeply and offered me some ideas on how I can do better in this area of ministry outside my home. Misty gave some really great ways to remain frugal - and I really love how she emphasized giving to God is important. And April's story on how she became a stay-at-home mom was amazing. I really related to much of it...because even though being a stay-at-home mom is what I've always wanted to be, and have never considered anything else, I understood the daily struggle. I have a "retreater and screamer" and some days I'm not sure which is tougher: calming a kid with a short fuse or trying to light a fire under the wet backside of a kid who is passive-aggressive.  

Here are some amazing quotes from the book. Honestly, I could sit here all day and quote from this book. Each woman shared priceless pearls of wisdom from her heart, making up a book that is a must-read for every help meet.
