Each Friday, I’ll post links to 3–5 resources from around the web you may want to check out.
In Praise of Godly Mothers-in-Law
Tanner Kay Swanson has written a helpful article describing her relationship with her mother-in-law and what it takes for that relationship to be healthy.
Beneath my mother-in-law’s lack of boasting is a lack of envy. She sees me not as her competitor in all things marriage and motherhood. She sees me as her son’s wife, the woman to whom he now owes first allegiance. She sees me as her “adopted” daughter, a young woman with fears and needs and dreams, just like all her kids. Ultimately, she sees me as “one for whom Christ died” (Romans 14:15) — as a sister she’ll have forever, countless ages after marriages and titles like “mother-in-law” and “daughter-in-law” fade away.
Life is a Vapour. Enjoy it.
Here are some reflections on the book of Ecclesiastes. What does it mean for us that life is a vapor? How should we live in light of that?
The wise King said that vapour-life is not a curse if you learn to enjoy it (Ecclesiastes 5:18-20). But can you really enjoy life, when you see how transient it is? When it slips through your fingers no matter how tightly you clench them? Yes, you can.
Two videos
Here are two videos which might encourage you in your faith this weekend.
- Here’s a new song from Sovereign Grace Music called “Yours Alone.”
- This is a video from the John 10:10 project about snow. Now, you may be quite tired of snow right now, but this video explores how some of the creatures God has made thrive in very cold temperatures.
