Mother's Memo

Dear Ladies,
It has come to our attention that one of the links on our site has recently contained some inappropriate links. I'm not one to make a point of causing another site undue hardship if I disagree with them by naming their site, and although they may not be up to date with double checking all their links on their top visibility site, I do feel the necessity to strongly caution you of their site.

The Fundamentalist site, which many of you are currently listed on as well, as been spammed with ungodly links which you will NOT want to be associated with.

We thank one of our anonymous readers for informing us of this and we have removed that link from our site.

We are sorrowful that this has occurred and humbly apologize and seek forgiveness for that. I have no doubt that the owners of that site will be thankful when they receive our letter informing them of this. As I said they may not be up to date on their quality control, but it's still no excuse.

Aside from that please come visit Mrs. Dixon for her Psalm and Praise and be uplifted!

In Good Faith & Mother's Memo

(Mother's Memo Below)

It's "In Good Faith Day" where you can look over these 10 items and prayerfully consider if you have pleased the Lord to the best of your ability during the previous week and we pray it will also help encourage you for the upcoming weeks ahead. If you would like to share how the Lord used you this week to be a blessing to others we sure would love to hear about it!

1. I had personal devotions this week: 3 days 5 days 7 days other

2. I memorized a God's word this week: 2 verses 4 verses 6 verses other

3. I helped mom or dad this week in an area that wasn't already a previous responsibility.

4. I attended our spiritual service this week:

5. I shared my faith with someone this week by speaking of our Lord with someone new.

6. I am avoiding bitterness in my heart towards someone right now. True or false

7. I am avoiding wrong influences such as ungodly T.V, music, or friends, etc.

8. In a clear conscience I know my heart is right with my parents.

9. I showed an act of kindness/service to my siblings this week.

10. I offered help to the needy this week. Ex: an elderly person, a sick person, the homeless, etc.

We'd love to hear about some of the ways you pleased your Saviour this week. Please do leave a reply for us. :O)

Memory Verses To Consider:

Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." (KJV)

1 Samuel, 16:7, "But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart." (KJV)

Colossians 2:8-9, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." (KJV)

*A special thank you to Mrs. Dixon and Miss Charlene for sharing these verses with us on their blogs this week.




I pray your week has been a wonderful one! Today I'd like to share a couple of sites with you that many mother's find especially helpful. One is our Mother Ministry, 'Apples of Gold Ministries'. We have recently taken on two new writers and experienced a site makeover! Please invite the mother's you know to come join us for women's devotions and a Christian perspective on news in today's culture.

AGMinistries is prayerfully accepting submissions from guest contributors. If you feel the Lord would have you to contribute, please look over our submission guidelines and contact us.

Another site that has been inspiring as a mother, striving to train up godly young daughters, is 'Training Daughters, Teaching Wives' written by Mrs. Dixon and her daughters. Please stop by and enjoy the inspiration these ladies brings to their readers.

Next, may I introduce to you a dear friend Kristine, most often known as 'MamaArcher'. MamaArcher never ceases to inspire me as a mother, as she is a mother of many and one more on the way. She helps to bring a different perspective on today's motherhood.

I pray you'll find encouragement this week as you seek to please the Lord in your mothering and in serving your husbands.

Mother's Memo

Some of you may know that I have been away on our family vacation these last two weeks. This was our first vacation in two years and we had a BLAST! Even though we have been on the go everyday, we have still kept up with reading the articles here at GGM. We want to personally thank the Dixon family for taking care of GGM while we've been away. :O)

We drive home today and do covet your prayers for our travel safety, the heat is expected to rise to 103 degrees! We look forward to getting back into our regular schedule beginning Monday.

While we were on vacation, I had the honor of interviewing Erin Bethea, who is the lead female star in an upcoming movie called, 'Fireproof'. Miss Erin was kind and gracious in giving me the time, over the phone, in answering a few questions I felt our moms would like to know. As GGM is a ministry of Apples of Gold, I wanted to be sure to invite you to read the interview with Erin Bethea.

In just another week, I plan to host the Share Your Faith Carnival: Marriage Edition. If you would like to share your faith in how God has worked in your marriage, we would love to have you participate.

One last memo is to be sure and visit Mrs. Dixon for her Saturday Psalm and Praise. Each week I visit her blog and am blessed by the scripture and songs my dear friend shares.
