Craig and I were blessed to raise and release 2 great sons. Both boys are married and have babies of their own. We are so proud of the godly men they have become and the households of faith they are busy building. John wrote, "I have no greater joy than to know my children walk in truth." (III John 6). Amen to that!
When the boys lived at home, I was surrounded by males. The only female in the family, I lived in a male dominated household! It was loud at my house. Music blared. ESPN was always flickering the tv. Food was recklessly consumed. Seven gallons of milk was downed each week - much of it right out of the jug. Volumes of laundry was generated at an alarming rate. Bags of chips and boxes of Little Debbies were inhaled. The teen-aged habit of moving in herds filled our house with lots of their friends who could move through my pantry like a plague of locusts.
Because I was the only female, my husband took to calling me "The Queen." And, I must add, he treated me like one and trained my boys to do the same. Last Monday night I was at a meeting with the sweet MOMMAS that help me in the MOMS MINISTRY, a weekly Bible study I teach at Bellevue Baptist Church. (You can participate in the study of Ephesians on-line by clicking here. You can watch the 45 minute video message by clicking here.) Cathy Huber, my assistant, wrote out my name tag.
It's good to be "The Queen." Blessings.
