| Ladies Of Virtue is a ministry to encourage and equip women in their godly vocation of womanhood. We gladly revel in our distinct femininity as defined in scripture, a calling that is often contrary to our current culture. Our desire is to promote the truth that we each are designed for God's glory having influence on those around us and for all eternity. With thankful hearts, this calling is met with an attitude of living Life with purpose and passion. |

| Home Management Tips "The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied." ~Proverbs 13:4 Tip #9- Plan out your family's menus For use in the application of the above scripture let us paraphrase the verse to read..."The belly of the sluggard craves (as does her family) and they get nothing to eat, while the belly of one who is diligent in planning and preparing meals get fat." Do you plan out your meals with thought? Or do you wait until 5 o'clock, take a glance into your cupboards and refrigerator and ponder, "What can I put together to make a 'decent' meal for my family tonight?"? Try menu planning a week at a time (even a month if you know your family's schedule and really want to be prepared). Every Saturday or Sunday I gather my scheduled calendar, a few cook books or magazines, and my Menu Planner and chart out what we will be eating (and me cooking) for the following week. Sometimes I choose meals based on what is on sale at the local grocer's (oh, also gather the sale flyers from the Sunday newspaper) or I choose by what I have stocked in my freezer and cupboards. Always, I have to take into consideration my family's schedule. If we are to be gone during the day then the crockpot is put to use. If my daughter needs to take her supper with her to dance class then I usually make soup. Friday is always "order out". And Sundays we either eat out after church or I cook Saturday to have company over. I love being able to just look at my planner and not have to sigh and think, "Now WHAT are we going to have for supper?" If you have not done so try meal planning. Your diligence will not go unrewarded! Blessings, Mrs. Epple Click here for past TIPS |
