Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

Ladies of Landover,

I am feeling a tad down. Mr Luke is up in the Kimberley region at Brother James' diamond mine and I am feeling like a solo mum down here looking after his three boys.

Oh Sister Charli! I understand your concerns, but I do have to say, you knew the deal when you accepted the proposal!

Remember too, this union is a result of Jesus working in the most fantastic of ways! How else can Brother Luke, being miraculously placed before you, and you he, in BOTH your times of need, be explained? Of course that was a rhetorical question as God's ways are never to be literally questioned!

Sister Rebekkah tells me that I am doing a good job with the children. We have got ourselves in to a routine. I am not sure that Matthew, the 8 month old, though really understands the importance of giving thanks to Jesus for the food he blesses us with before we eat. He seems to think that as soon as the plate is on the tray of his high chair he should have a spoonful of food in his mouth. In fact he cries if I make him give thanks to Jesus. I even tried singing our prayers but that didn't seem to help either. Because Matty is not my biological child I am reluctant to use physical discipline - even tho I have Mr Luke's permission to do so.

Gosh you must be doing something right if Sister Rebekkah is singing your praises! She is a lovely woman, but can be quite..shall we say.. blunt when new mothers are doing things wrong.

As you have been given disciplinary rights over these children, I don't think you should hold back with this Matthew. You ARE their mother now. I think it is about time you had a good read through proverbs to KNOW exactly what God commands on this matter:

Proverbs 13:24
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes .

Proverbs 22:15
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Proverbs 23:13
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die .

Proverbs 23:14
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Proverbs 29:15
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame .


It is NEVER too early to start beating righteousness into them.

Potty training for mark (aged 2) has gone totally haywire. I think he misses his Daddy. So he is back in nappies fulltime. We will keep persevering.

Better to keep him in diapers for now I suppose as not doing so will only give you more cleaning duties and even less time for personal Bible Study.

John (aged 4) is a pleasure. We made a Noah's Ark card to send to Mr Luke today. I cut the animals out and Johnboy coloured them in and then we pasted it to some card. And we talked about how God sent the floods to kill everyone because they had been evil. But that he saved Noah and his wife and a boy and girl animal of every kind. Johnny was a bit worried about God causing another flood. Particularly when it started raining this evening. He seemed very frightened to go to sleep. But we prayed that Jesus would keep us all safe. He knows that God only kills sinners.

He sounds like he is coming along well enough in his Bible understanding. Just to let you know too, I have a vast array of Scripture story boards, coloring books and toys left over from my Sunday School teaching days which will help your situation along with this young John; so much so, him being frightened of the Flood will be the least of his worries! There are so many other things he has to fear and MUST fear to appreciate just how much God loves us. If you like, I can get them O/nighted to you as they are all just sitting in a box in the storage room.

Sister Phebe.

Are you not going to have him confused about your fairy tale?

Genesis 7
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female.
3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

Of course I don't have as much time on the internet now - being a fulltime mum. But I am managing to spend 10 minutes 6 or so times a day in the prayer closet. I am a little behind in my personal bible study as I am spending more time reading biblical stories that I can teach the boys. But it is all good.

Congratulations to both of you

Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

I don't the Kimberley Region very well. I have a cousin who spent over five years living on the Gove Peninsula in Arnhem Land, NT. I was planning to visit her but she and her husband moved to a town just north of Brisbane.

Brother Byran.

It is ssoooo good to hear from you.

I heard that God smote New Zealand with an earthquake this week.

Praise Jesus you survived!

Do you know anything about diamond mining?

I need to employ some good men of God for Brother James' mine.

Your job description will be compatible with the KJV1611 requirements.

Please email me your CV if you are interested.

Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

Mr Dewitt's mine is next door to the Rio Tinto one here.

Theirs is an underground mine where as we are looking more at an open cut pit.

[Lisa H]

Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

I'm not sure, but isn't the Kimberley Diamond Mine located in South Africa and not Australia? Do you work for Dewitt's Australian offices or branch?

Also, it might be an economic burden but maybe a joy for the heart with another little addition to your happy brood. It is my sentiment that if a man's wife wishes to have chilren, especially if she is as of yet a virgin, then a man should put aside his own comfort for the sake of the wishes that so occupy his wife. I realize that men are superior in every way, but, one of the ways we show that superiority is by stooping to take the wishes of the weaker sex to more important than our own, when in the confines of holy matrimony of course.

I am sure if you tighten your belts in a little you can make room for another happy toddler around the house, and maybe your sons will be moving away soon, to look for their own place in society, or might take such a liking to the so sweetly disposed Sister (Mother) Charli, that they want to pinch in to see her humble wish realized. I know, I'm presuming a lot of things, but God has a way of working small miracles, and it is not for you, I feel, to rule out another little miracle, if it is in any way possible.

May God bless you two with a love that never dies, but passes into eternity.

All the best!

Jesper

I think you are misguided. The Kimberly's is in Australia.

Also it must be mutual consent to have children

1 Corinthians 7
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

Where did you say you were from? The West Australian diamond mines are located around the Argyle region.

maybe your sons will be moving away soon, to look for their own place in society,

With Matthew barely 8 months, Mark 2 years and John 4, I doubt that is going to happen for many many more years or the department of child protection would be knocking at the door pretty pronto.

I would appreciate you keeping opinions like that to yourself. Once Miss Charli becomes my wife she will become the mother of my three boys who so tragically lost their birth Mother, Sarah Brown, 8 months ago. Bless her soul. There will be no or little need for any "pleasure of the flesh" as further additions to the family will be an economic burden. Plus Miss Charli is in her late 40s, is a virgin, and probably does not want all that hot sweaty messy stuff anyway when our odds of conceiving are so minimal.

My employer, Brother James, has been most generous in his renumeration but the cost of living in Australia is very high. Thankfully Sister Charli is a good cook and has years of practice shooting, skinning and cooking kangaroo - of which there are plenty in the Kimberly region where Mr Dewitt's diamond mine is situated.

Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

Gosh Sister Charli,

That certainly is a lovely ring Brother Luke has furnished your digit with!

Gee, things happen oh so quickly around here, but I suppose when love is love, nothing stands in its way!

I would be honored to be your Maid of Honor!

Please let me know if there is anything at all I can do to help you, along with the standard Matron of Honor duties.

Would you perhaps like me to fly out to Australia so that you, Sister Lisa and myself can get together for several prayer closet sessions (and a few morning teas) to determine just how Jesus wants your wedding to go?

Oh this is so exciting!

YIC,

Mrs. Phebe Dewitt.
