Tips for Moms
I was reminded of a Bible verse this morning that I think is good for Christians in general (of course!), but highly advantageous for moms to be and new moms, and also moms of young children. Here is the verse:
Ephesians 5:18-20
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; KJV
Now, this isn't just a nice idea. This is powerful stuff in the realm of your Christian spirituality. Even when Baby is in the womb, she hears everything! She hears music and birds singing and traffic noises; but always be mindful that she hears speech, as well. Every word that comes out of anyone's mouth within hearing distance. She hears it.
Do you remember the little Sunday School song, "Be Careful Little Mouth What You Say"? It still holds true. The words that come out of our mouths can either bless or curse. To heed the Scripture that says to speak to ourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, will always bring a blessing to our unborn children, as well as to our infants, toddlers and all the way up. How God must be pleased with the mother who blesses her children with His Word.
And guess what? By singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord in this manner, you will be blessed as well. When our mind is on the splendor and majesty of God and we meditate on His Word, there is no time to think of hate, anger, unforgiveness, or "somebody done me wrong."
It is my pleasure to give tips for new moms. And I hope that you have enjoyed today's Tips for Moms blog.

Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
