Crew Martin: Shabbat With the Shepherds

We've been doing Shabbat Dinner on Fridays for about 9 months now, give or take. We really enjoy it. It takes some pre-planning and preparing and I still haven't perfected getting it all ready...but we do our best!

We try to invite over friends from time to time and because the Shepherds have also started doing it at their home we like to try and get together 1x a month to usher in the sabbath together as friends!

On the occasion below we also had Eric over as his family was out of town.

Quotes About Motherhood

A Prayer for Womanhood God, give each true good woman Her own small house to keep, No heart should ache with longing, No hurt should go too deep..... Grant her age-old desire: A house to love and sweep. Give her a man beside her, A kind man, and a true, And let them work together And love, a lifetime through, And let her mother children As gentle women do. Give her a shelf for dishes, And a shining box for bread, A white cloth for her table, And a white spread for her bed, A shaded lamp at nightfall, And a row of books much read. God, let her work with laughter, And let her rest with sleep. No life can truly offer A peace more sure and deep.... God, give each true woman Her own small house to keep ~Grace Noll Crowell~ ~~~~~~1934~~~~~~

And that is our privilege as mothers – to rear Godly men and women to influence the world for God. I Timothy 2 and 3 discuss qualifications and roles of men in the church, but in the middle of it all, there is an intriguing little verse, I Timothy 2:15: “But women will be saved through childbearing – if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.” -Paula Wilson

"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life." Abraham Lincoln

"The joys of motherhood are rare and beautiful treasures that can be easily missed if we don't seize the opportunity to grab them." Ginger Plowman

"My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of mw; and I felt that I had someone to live for; someone I must not disappoint." Thomas Edison
