15 Minutes For Mom

Here are a couple time-saving tips (more next week):

Tie up loose ends at the end of the day. Charge your cell phone, lay tomorrow's clothes out and check your calendar for the next day.

Different wakeup times. Wake the older ones last because they need less individualized attention.  Your little ones need more one on one with brushing their teeth, eating, etc so wake them first!

September is right around the corner!

Wow. I can't believe summer is coming to an end. It certainly doesn't feel like it around here with all of the heat and humidity we've had.

There's so many storms around the nation - around the world, really - I'm praying each of you is safe and dry.

In His Love,
Jill

* Everyone wants to feel good about their job or service.

Give your waitress, receptionist, clerk at the gas station or
bank teller a business card with a special "THANK YOU
for your EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!" card.

Imagine how great they will feel and you have just connected with a potential customer or new business partner. My cards also say, "If you are ever open to making a change in your life, please contact me, I am looking for business partners with your gifts"

This is a way to bless someone while also sharing your passion for your home business.

Order a lot! Once you get started, you will be looking for good service everywhere!

* My biggest business builder is that I do a monthly newsletter and in that newsletter tell all about upcoming promotions, specials, and usually feature a product. I also about every 3 months send out a newsletter only special. And really make my customers feel special.

Possibly the most effective way to share God’s love through your home business is by doing something your clients and colleagues might never see you do. It won’t happen in an email, a newsletter, a phone call, or at your next meeting. It won’t be listed on your timesheet, your FAQ page, or your business proposal.

Your clients and others you work with may never even know you do this for them. If they did know, they might tell you not to bother – you’re just wasting your time. In fact, they might even ask you to stop.

However, the results of this one action could have a dramatic impact on their lives and businesses.

You might have guessed that I’m talking about prayer.

I’m one of those people who pray about everything – small or big. I pray I’ll find a parking stall in a busy lot. I ask for enough space to merge my minivan into a heavy lane of traffic. I pray for the success of my business, prosperity for my family, and that my children will learn to love Jesus as passionately as I do. Every day I pray that my life will be a blessing to others.

I believe the Bible when it says “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” (John 5:16) I know it’s true. I’ve experienced the life-changing power of prayer in my own life and in the lives of those close to me.

Praying for my own needs is easy. Praying for others, especially others I don’t know well, is a little harder. Their needs just aren’t as obvious to me. Sometimes, I don’t know exactly how to pray for them. I’ll probably never know what results my prayers had in their lives. So, why bother?

One event in my life has convinced me that, in spite of my own doubts and selfishness, it is definitely worth my time and energy to pray for those I meet in my business. Even though I don’t know exactly what to pray, and I may never know what results my prayers had, it doesn’t make those prayers any less effective.

A few years ago, a close family member was hospitalized with a chronic illness. He spent almost a full year in one of our local hospitals. Because of space and staff shortages, he was moved to different wards several times.

One ward stood out from all the others. It was as old as the rest of the building. It had the same paint, but its walls were a little brighter; same windows, but more light; same ventilation system, but fresher air. We were fighting the same disease, and for some inexplicable reason, we felt more peace while we were on this ward.

My family didn’t understand how one part of the hospital could be so different from all the rest until we met the Patient Care Manager for the ward. She told us she began each day by praying for every single patient in that unit by name.

“Do you know how long that takes?” she laughed.

Probably a long time. But I was very grateful she took that time each morning. Suddenly the cleaner air, the brighter rooms, and the indescribable peace all made sense to me. I believe it was her prayers that made the difference and made her ward a more pleasant place to be.

She couldn’t possibly have known the difference her prayers made in her patients’ lives while they were in her care and after they went home, but she was convinced it made a difference all the same. And she was right.

Your prayers can make a difference in the lives of your clients and business colleagues as well. If you’re not sure how to start praying for them, here’s a quick guide.

Begin by making a list of all your current clients and people you regularly have contact with for your business. If that’s too long a list to start with, break it down into shorter lists and pray for a different list of names each day.

Set aside time each day to pray for each name on that list. Early morning works best for my prayer time, before the kids get up and I get involved in my business day. Choose a time that works with your schedule. You may need to get up a bit earlier or go to bed a bit later to fit it in.

Here are some ways you can pray for those on your list. Ask God to reveal any other ways He would like you to pray for them.

*The success of their business
*That they will experience God’s love that day
*Their and their family’s safety
*That they will develop their own personal relationship with Jesus, if they haven’t already

Do I know how much time this takes? Yes, I do. But I also know it’s time well spent. The prayer of a righteous work-at-home-mom is powerful and effective.

chicken breasts
1 jar spaghetti sauce
mozzarella cheese

Bake chicken breasts at 350º until golden brown, turning often. Top with either a jar of store bought spaghetti sauce or your own homemade spaghetti sauce. Brown an additional 10 minutes. Top with Mozzarella Cheese until melted. I usually make spaghetti at the same time and serve both together. That way I have the spaghetti sauce handy. Add a salad and bread and dinner is served.

Turn a plain alarm clock into a furry bedside buddy and give your child a frighteningly friendly face to wake up to.

MATERIALS:
Alarm clock
Corrugated cardboard
Marker or pen
Ruler
Scissors
1/4 yard faux fur
Tacky glue
2 adhesive-backed Velcro dots
Masking tape
Giant googly eyes

Time needed: 1 Hour

1. Trace the face of the clock onto a piece of cardboard.

2. Draw a head around the clock outline, then draw a pair of feet. Sketch the clock window on the head, using a ruler to approximate its size and placement, and cut it out. Cut out the head and the feet.
 

3. Trace the head and feet onto the back of the fur and cut out the shapes. Glue the fur pieces to the matching cardboard pieces.
 

4. Attach one side of each Velcro dot to the clock face and the other to the back of the head, lining them up. The Velcro will let you remove the head to access buttons or dials. Tape the feet to the head, leaving a N-inch gap to allow for folding. Finally, glue on the googly eyes and stick the head in place.

Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible
by Liz Curtis Higgs

Liz Curtis Higgs is back with more Bad Girls of The Bible. Her non-fiction fans will be thrilled to have Higgs writing for them again with this fourth book in the Bad Girl series. All of the books are being released with new fresh, bright covers and this newest installment will hit stores in September.

In this book, Higgs covers five more women whose stories are found in The Bible, but who are often overlooked or cast aside as "bad girls". The women included are Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel. Each of these women struggles in their own way. Sarah wants to be in charge. Hagar grapples with overwhelming bitterness. Rebekah pits her sons against one another. Leah and Rachel fight for the love of one man…a man who has been tricked into marrying them both.

And yet, despite their differences, all of the women share common struggles as well. All of them are obsessed, to some degree with bearing children. All of them battle with jealousy, lying and anger.

Once again Higgs asks the question, what can we learn from these women and the bad choices they made? These “diamonds in the rough” provide lessons that apply to the women of today. While we may no longer base our self-worth on how many children we bear, we do compare ourselves to one another in other ways – weight, beauty, wealth, etc.

Higgs isn’t afraid to take a hard look at the lives of bad girls and yet she always does so in a light, humorous way. She isn’t preachy and keeps the reader’s interest with current-day anecdotes and examples. I’ve enjoyed each of the books in this series and Slightly Bad Girls was no exception. The book also includes notes, a study guide, and a "chat with Liz."
