Would you like to receive encouragement in your Christian walk? Would you like to meet other Christian young ladies and families serving our King? We invite you to join us on our journey to Biblical womanhood! The Kings Blooming Rose is a magazine published quarterly intended to encourage girls in their Christian walk.
This is a ministry to encourage young ladies to grow in accordance with Titus 2 and Proverbs 31:10-31, in holiness and obedience to God and their parents. "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:11-13). KBR is geared toward young ladies ages twelve and up, but ladies of all ages are welcome to join us!
Each issue is themed, but we also feature non-thematic articles. In past issues, the theme has been topics such as siblings, serving, contentment, modesty, faith, and thankfulness.
The King's Blooming Rose began in February 2005, when homeschooler Sarah Bryant published the first issue. It was very small and sent to about twenty friends. The Lord has greatly blessed this ministry and over 250 girls now receive KBR all over the US, Canada, and beyond.
While Sarah handles much of the regular editorial work and design of KBR, her parents often offer guidance and entire family provides support--without it, this effort would be impossible. We are very grateful for the Lord's blessing of this ministry, and for various ways others support this effort!
We pray that everyone that reads this magazine will be inspired to live a holy and closer walk with our Saviour Jesus Christ. "That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works" (Psalm 26:7).
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH | 07.01.08 | I have found lately the benefit of dwelling on Christ's sacrifice for me. When I am tempted to rudely respond to someone who has hurt me, I remember His humble attitude toward His enemies who mocked Him. If I think on Jesus' great love toward me constantly, it is so much easier to reply kindly to my siblings, or be patient when I am feeling irritated. It is hard to have unkind thoughts and actions. Singing of His salvation in hymns and thinking on Scripture also help keep the mind focused on Him.
When I am dwelling on Christ, I start thinking "What would Jesus do in this situation?" "How would He respond to this rude person?" I find it hard sometimes to respond patiently because I am selfish and do not like to be taken advantage of. It hurts my pride! Yet, Jesus' selfless spirit says, "Give of yourself. Do something extra for that impatient person!" If we are grateful for Christ's work on the cross, we will strive to please Him through this obedience.
Why don't we take the challenge of thinking of Jesus every minute of our day today, and let Him change our selfish actions into His loving ones?
