Tending the Temple Daily

  Several years ago, when my boys were growing up, I homeschooled them. As they grew into preteens we began to study courtship. I wanted to provide my boys with the knowledge of Yah's standard in the matters of marriage. I knew so very little when I was young and single, I could have used some help navigating relationships and commitment.   ***Disclaimer **** neither of my sons actually participated in Biblical Courtship,  but the wisdom and guidance they got from these lessons years ago definitely contribute to the successful marriages they now have. Not to mention the problems they could have avoided if they had only adhered to those lessons.  Courtship is not like dating. Dating is like spouse shopping, but not everyone shopping are serious shoppers. Some just want to do a lot of sampling. And let's be honest,  that's what the western cultures have brought us to. Our society doesn't encourage commitment, family,  and faith. It promotes self. In Bibl...

  Baruch atah Yahuah,  blessed are you Yahuah  Baruch atah Yahusha,  blessed are you Yahusha  With a glad heart I thank you.  The girls you've placed in my life are such a blessing.  Abba, keep watch over them.  These girls: my daughters by law, my granddaughters,  my bonus daughter and my bonus granddaughter, plus my "forever family" girls: Candice, Kaylen, Miyah,  Heather, Allison, and Morgan. Abba thank you for them all.  Guide these beautiful ladies into your loving embrace, that they may know their value and walk with their heads held high, secure in you. Give them hearts that seek you. Give them ears to hear you, give them eyes to see your wonderous works. Father place people in their lives that will point the way to you, and to encourage them. Give them discernment that they may protect themselves and their children from the deceptions of the enemy. You are so good my El. Let them know the goodness of Yah.    M...

  Baruch atah Yahuah,  blessed are you Yahuah Baruch atah Yahusha,  blessed are you Yahusha Let me come to you with a heart filled with gratitude.  Let all your blessings flood my mind that I may express Thanksgiving in all I say and do.  Let my fruit be beautiful and delightful in your sight.  Keep me in your embrace that I don't step to the left nor the right.   Show me your ways and teach me to walk in them. Abba, show me my sins and lead me into repentance.  Let me always be willing to accept correction and to walk upright before you.  I come before you to ask for my children and grandchildren.  Father draw them to Yahusha that He will bring them to you.  I ask that each and every one of them will find their name written in The Lamb's Book of Life. Not one will be left out.  This world cries out for you, Oh Yahuah.  I ask you for the leaders, may your will be carried out. Strengthen the righteous leaders to stand ...

  Good grief! You speak on fruit, and the testers come out of the woodwork! Road ragers, keyboard crusaders, pissy family members, disobedient dogs, inconveniences, you name it, the testing ensues.
