Wives Submit/Husbands Love

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jill @ 7:31 pm

1 Peter 3

Wives and Husbands

 1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, 6like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.

 7Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

New International Version….what is this saying to you?

To sum it up…Wives submit to your husbands leadership of the family…Husbands love your wives as Christ love the church and gave up His life for her.  Husbands…if you truly love your wife as Christ loved the church, you will consider her above yourself in all decisions and in all things.  Wives if your husbands do this and is truly looking out for you and your needs, how easy would it be to fall under his leadership?  Husbands if you do not take your leadership responsibly and seriously…your prayers will be hindered..not answered…WOW!  Wives even if your husband is not good a leading,  you must still serve as God has called you to serve in your marriage so that you may sway your husbands…WOW!

Do You Want an Interfaith Minister to Perform Your Ceremony

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jill @ 9:30 pm

Blessings!

Interfaith Ministers?  What does that mean?  Do you really want to have one perform your ceremony?  Webster defines interfaith as “involving persons of different religious faiths”.  Now you might say to yourselves that simply means Baptist, Methodist, Luthern etc.. but it doesnt.  It means Islamic, Buddist, Hindu or any other world religion.  If you are not a Christian this may be fine for you and your ceremony; however, if you are a Christian you need to be aware of just who is performing your ceremony that you want blessed by God our creator and Jesus Christ our Savior.  I am a Christian Chaplain/Minister and have followed the Lord for 20 years+.  I believe that with God as the center of your relationship you and your spouse will surely succeed.  I also happen to believe that without Him you will miss out on many blessings for yourself and your new family.  If you are looking for a Christian to perform your ceremony and to bless it then seek a Christian Minister for your wedding day.  I hope I can be of further service.

Blessings,

Jill

Need a Great Little Place to Have Your Reception?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jill @ 5:53 pm

My husband and I were married this past December.  We were married in Cleburne and arranged for our reception to be at the Lemon Sisters Cafe in downtown Cleburne.  I was amazed at the great job they did with our catering, cake and we were even allowed to bring our own wine and champagne.  If you are local, check them out, if you are not, check out other “Cafe’s or Deli’s” in your area.  They are very reasonable and adaptable!

Are you Planning an Outdoor Wedding

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jill @ 5:50 pm

Hi!

If you are planning an outdoor wedding, make sure you have a back up indoor facility within walking distance of your wedding.  50% of the outdoor weddings I have performed were rained on and some violently. Although outdoor weddings are beautiful, the weather is unpredictable and maybe you do not need this added worry while planning other parts of your wedding!  In any event I am sure you have the perfect place picked out for your big day.  Let me know your thoughts and any ideas you may have for planning an outdoor wedding!
