I am excited to be a member of The Gabby Moms and am looking forward to the blessings I will receive this year. Each month, The Gabby Moms receive a product to review from Eternal Encouragement.
Some of the products will cost you money if you are interested, but the product reviewed this month you can receive free, along with the one I reviewed last month on Organizing Happiness.
This month’s review is the Serenity for Your Soul newsletter and is written by Mrs. Lorrie Flem, publisher of Eternal Encouragement Magazine (formerly TEACH Magazine). Doesn’t the name of the newsletter give you a sense of peace and calm? The newsletter gives you a glimpse into Lorrie’s life and is filled with encouragement for wives and moms.
The newsletter is designed for “Dedicated to women who hunger and search for righteousness where the fruit is peace, quietness, confident trust, and a sparkle in her eye.”
It is filled with encouragement…and you know I am all about encouragement…hence my blog name. It is so easy to get distracted in this busy life. Easy to feel like a failure in your role as wife, mom, and teacher (if you are a homeschooler). Lorrie has a wonderful way of offering encouragement through a glimpse into her life, humor, and gentle reminders in the areas that we need to work on in our lives. The newsletter is packed full of practical tips to help wives and moms in their roles. I love when she includes a simple recipe.
Most importantly, she helps to point you to the One who called you to your role, the One who will give you the strength to make it each day when you think you can’t go another step.
In one edition, Lorrie talked about “Stick-to-it-ness”. How easy is it for us to get pulled in many directions and lose our focus? I know I fail in this area when so many things are calling for my attention. I love what she says here…”Don’t wait for there to not be interruptions. That’s a pipe dream for a mom! Instead, expect interruptions and get through them with stick-to-it-ness.” Interruptions happen…know that and have a plan. Don’t let the interruptions pull you away from the most important job you have…your children. They grow up so quickly!
I hope that you will sign up for the Serenity for Your Soul newsletter…it is free and worth the read. If you want to grow as a wife and mother, you will want this encouragement. When you sign up for the newsletter, you will receive an ebook called Organizing Happiness. It will be a blessing to you!
I look forward to sharing with you each month a review of the products I will receive to help me become a better wife and mom.

I am reviewing this as a part of the Gabby Moms and did not receive any compensation.
I, too, love how Lorrie always points us to the One who will help us to accomplish what He has designed.
Thanks for sharing
Great review!
