Today we had the privilege of listening to James and Stacy MacDonald speak about raising children for the glory of our God. Mr. and Mrs. MacDonald came from Illinois with eight of their children to minister to our little group today. It is an honor to have people visit our church who have shaped our lives through their ministries and books. Tomorrow Mr. MacDonald will give the sermon during our household worship service. And we will gather with their family in the evening for a small social over dessert at our pastor's home. What a blessing!
Mrs. MacDonald wrote a spectacular book called Raising Maidens of Virtue. Mr. MacDonald is a pastor of a family integrated church, founder of their family ministry and radio speaker. His email newsletters are biblical and encouraging.
Kendal and Kelsey read a couple of the MacDonald family blogs regularly. I think they especially enjoy meeting other, somewhat famous, virtuous young ladies.
The MacDonalds talked about many things. Their message was bible-based and practical. We especially enjoyed their talk about courtship. They have one married daughter and one in a courtship relationship. With seven daughters and three sons, they'll be pros in due time.
