Yes, your choices are wise. For me, I read Bible scripture out loud to my son to hear and he will repeat each part out loud following me. We have done this every night for 13 years. It has taught him to carefully listen to the word of God, to be familiar with it, and to easily speak it as if it were natural language to him, and of course, to memorize it. He is now almost 16 years old and when he is ready for bed, he still always calls me to do reading.
Wow I love that! Thank you for sharing. Such a beautiful tradition🧡
I say not to glory or be prideful. It’s already a challenge for me to stay humble. It is still all for the glory of God. Thank you and please keep praising the Lord in your life and through your channel.
All for His glory! Always 🙌🏻
I love this video, especially about not comparing your home or your family to others (I too have struggled with this in the past but am getting better), not always entertaining your children, and not doing things by your own strength but inviting God into the everyday moments for help 🙏🏼🙌🏼 thank you for all your videos, very inspiring! 💗
Thanks for being here! 🧡 Glad it was inspiring. Be blessed 🙌🏻
I agree...it's too much competition in this world today. Great video...tips ! ❤
I have always struggled as well to compare . But I remind myself that some people have it way worse so it reminds me to be grateful!
Yes, so important!
First time watching this video. It's very inspiring. We all need God in our lives. Always ask him to help you, for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Always pray.🙏❤️
Yes! There is so much joy in learning to be content with what we do have. Thank you for this lovely insight! 🙏☺️
Contentment is so important! 🧡
No one has a perfect family, home, job, husband, wife, etc., We are all flawed human beings. Only God is Perfect. I am so thankful that thru Him when get to live our lives in a way that is pleasing to Him, a d brings Him Glory( if we bend to His will, not ours).
Amen! We will never be perfect as human beings, and that is okay! That makes us even more dependent on Him
I just discovered your channel today and really enjoyed this video. These were all such good suggestions and reminders. God bless!
Thank you! Welcome🧡
I like these plans. I also don't work on Sabbath but mine is Saturday.
I try to not complain or even compare. Social media is hard on us, so I'm making a plan to make my home the way I want it instead of waiting for my dream home. And better garden and chickens. Right in the city 😅
Yes social media has made it so hard for this generation. That's part of the reason why I deleted IG for over a year. It can be a hard space sometimes..
Just FYI: Keeping the Sabbath is the one commandment that did not carry over from the Old Testament. That is because Jesus is our Sabbath, our rest.
@@kcm7134can you help me see this in scripture as no longer one of ten essential commands, please?
True. You got your own life. Your own marriage to focus on . Your own house to clean. The more yuu online the more you become dissatisfied with your life. Yes bot by your own strength
Exactly. The more we compare, the more we want things to be different.
Thank you for this video! Great points and ideas! ❤️
You’re so welcome! Glad it was helpful🧡
Inviting god in every moment of my life... needed this reminder. Thank you! Loved this video!
So so important to do life with Him🙌🏻
Hi there,
well, I'm not a woman, nor am I a father, but as a man I want to really thank you very much for sharing this video and for talking about how you spend Sundays and what thoughts you have regarding not working too hard on Sundays and also thanks for sharing your thoughts on protecting children from bad influence though TV or screens in general. Also, I find it very good of you that you don't have a TV that you don't let a TV act as a babysitter. Also, that you don't entertain your kids all the time yourself but let them find out how to entertain themselves, I find that very good.
Again, thank you so much for sharing this video!
May God bless you very much and may you have a very great rest of the day today,
Simon
Wow, thank you so much! So kind of you to say. We try to do the best we can to raise the next generation for Christ.
@@stephanie-algra Please don't give up raising the next generation for Christ and please be encouraged with Galatians 6:9:
"And let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will also reap IF we don't faint/IF we don't give up"
Blessings,
Simon
Amen 🙏
Great video, Stephanie !!
Thank you!!🧡
Great video. I like your perspective on not comparing etc.
Glad you liked it! 😊
This hits❤❤❤🙏🙏
Such a great video! I enjoyed it so much! I love your hair and outfit, you look so pretty 🥰
Thank you! I completely forgot I bought that top a while back. But I love it so much😍
Zo blij dat jouw kanaal vandaag door YT aangeraden werd! ❤
Ahh wat leuk! Welkom🧡
😊thank you !
Yes to all of these! ❤
🧡🧡
@@stephanie-algra also, this video is doing so well!!! Good job 💝
It is! So fun😍
I am an older homemaker, circa Titus 2 😉. Believe me when I tell you, comparison is the thief of joy. Treasure what the Lord has given *you*, the time, the people, skills He's given you and thank Him for what He's taken away. There's a reason for all of it.
Every good and perfect gift is from above - James 1:17🙌🏻
So grateful for all we have. We surely could practice some more gratitude in our generation😉
Hi!! Subscribed when you said you don't compare your home to others!! So good to remember, be grateful for what we have!! So often people only show one or two perfect rooms of their homes as well. We can't always see the full picture. Being home with my kids means so much more to me than the perfect home. Love all the others as well. We don't watch the news or even have cable, we are very selective about what we watch and read with out kids as well.
Love it! Thanks for subscribing! Welcome😉🧡
Wow!! I'm huge with 80/20!! Love that you mentioned this!! My in-laws brought doninos pizzas last night! We have salad and no soda with it, but the 80/20 rule is so great!! Gives us grace.
Right?! I did fully refined sugar free for 2 years but doing the 80/20 rule makes it so much easier. And way more fun 😆
@@stephanie-algrayes I love to use real maple syrup or honey at home, but when we go out we let ourselves have a treat on occasion, it's hard not to with kids. ❤
Ohh I love maple syrup!
I think the suggestions that you make in this video are very helpful. #1. We should seek God's wisdom and instruction in all that we do. I also firmly agree that we should not try to live up to other people's standards, but aim to please God and tune in to Him so that our focus is where it needs to be. Sometimes we miss things in our own homes/family because we are not tuned in to what God is telling us. I definitely like the comment you made about letting them be creative. I love to cook and sew and I was trying to teach it to my children. I found myself stifling their creativity, but when I started letting them do things on their own, their creativity blossomed. (Obviously with cooking I still had to be a bit more involved for safety sake, but God showed me how to back off and let them explore. It is a blessing to see what He has put in them and is drawing out to His glory. Thank you for this gentle reminder to let Go and let God. 😊
Thank you for your kind comment! You are so right about stifling their creativity sometimes, I have been guilty of that😉 but when you let them be creative, so many beautiful things come out of it🧡
Thanks for being here 😊
I recently came across your channel. I was blown away by your intelligence. For being so young, you are very learned about being a Godly homemaker. I look forward to exploring your channel more.
Thank you so much! All because of Him 🙌🏻
Glad you’re here 🧡
Good job, mama! It is very encouraging to see a young mom making Godly decisions for her family and parenting intentionally. Praying God’s continued grace, wisdom, and strength for you as you navigate being the wife and mother your people need - pointing them to Jesus.
Wow thank you so much! God bless you
Thanks for inspiring :) Where can I find the Scripture Lullabies Playlist?
Ohhh I forgot to add it. Adding it right now!
@@stephanie-algra Thank you so much! 🙂 You are blessed! ❤
You are so right about TVs. It really irks me to see a TV in a baby’s or child’s room. We have a TV but never in our bedroom.
Such a crazy trend!
As a mom of adults. I so agree, I never had kids sit in front of the TV, I never did things I know they knew how to do…. It is raising up strong people.
Absolutely! 🙌🏻
We don't own a TV either. Which is one of the reasons my kids always want to go to their grandparents house.
Haha, lol
How do you watch the Christian screening that you mentioned without a TV? You said you did not have or own a TV.
Good question😆 We have a trusty old macbook 😉 we usually put it on a chair in front of the couch.
Where is your accent from? Minnesota? Canadian?❤
It’s Dutch actually😆 I studied to become an English Teacher. I studied British English and turned it into a ‘sort of’ American version, lol.
Hey Stephanie :) do you have an email to contact you with personal questions? I dont have any social media. If you don't do that through email, please forgive me for my question! I was just wondering. Kind regards.
Sure! My email is in the description box 😊
Dearest Stephanie...I have a message for you, from god...
Do not go anywhere for guidance...except to god...
Not to Atomic Habits, or any other book...and not even to the bible, but to god...directly.
Sometimes he will send you to someone, or to a book...in order to find the answer...and sometimes he will just tell you, directly...
Our beloved Abba wants all of his children to come to him first, with all of their questions, their problems, and for guidance...❤
Sunday isn’t the 7th day of the week though it’s the 1st. Resting on the 7th day would mean resting on Saturday.
The day doesn’t matter, don’t worry😉
It’s about taking a day to rest. Choose what works best for your family
Either way, in the Bible SUNDAY is the day of rest.
@@mariasheppard83 what verse in the bible refers as Sunday as the 7th day?
@@VlancingGenie Do you know what verse in the Bible says "Rest on Saturday, not any other day"? I'm yet to see that verse.
@@VlancingGeniestop being a troll. Scripture says not to esteem one day above another in the New Testament. She is simply advocating for you to have a day of rest.
May i ask which bible you read?
Of course! I use a few actually. Mostly NIV for my daily reading and with the kids, because it’s easy to read. I also have an NKJV and an ESV journal Bible that I use a few times a week. And then and Amplified Bible for more context on some verses if I want to.
Why may i ask do you not read the KJV? I personally find it the most true. And most beautifully written.
I do actually read it too. But find it more difficult to understand for day to day reading. So that’s why I usually gravitate towards the NKJV, but I agree that the KJV is the most true to the original text😊
It is so hard finding women who read the KJV. Im trying to find more on here and everyone reads the other versions. Do you have a place to which we can have discussions? If you do that.
Depends on what you mean by discussion, lol. You can always DM me on IG. You can find me there just by using my name.
Nice message thank you! Just a gentle suggestion: speak slower. Your fast speech can be hard to follow. Blessings.
I’ll try, 😆
Sabbath is Saturday. He rested on the seventh day in creation.
I am not speaking directly to a specific day. The main point I wanted to make is to have a day to rest 😊
if you decide to be a homemaker why? you say you cook , why do you cook and not your husband? I noticed christian women say they are homemaker but they each one is diferent and is not from the Bible is really a waste of time,
We all do our best to do what God asks of us ✨
I often have trouble from homemakers women don't answer my question, they often say what they want to say, and is not related . @@stephanie-algra I am having the same experience again with your video
So what is your question? Why I cook instead of my husband? Simply because he works 40+ hours outside the home and I am in the home taking care of it.
where in the Bible clearly states the mother is to rais the children ? I can not find it @@stephanie-algra
The mother doesn’t raise the children by herself. Raising children is a team effort 😊
