Hope For The Home

Hope For The Home Promoting the Gospel through the family and strengthening relationships that matter the most. Welcome. My name is Jason McBride.

I am married to my lovely wife, Natalie, and we have 11 beautiful children. We are nestled on a little homestead tucked away in the country. Our hearts desire is to be an encouragement and bring hope to other families where we see relationships being restored, and marriages become unbreakable. Our prayer is that we become a blessing to you as we open up our lives and share our hearts. We want families to be a stronger, tighter unit so that they can give each new generation a foundation to build upon. We aren’t perfect people, and are just like everyone else with the same struggles. But we do desire to equip God’s people with the things Natalie and I have learned together. We feel honored you are here and look forward to hearing from you.

Well, the entire McBride Tribe, except for 2, are down. We made it all last year without anything so I guess we were due.

Mama and Daddy had some IVs this afternoon. Pray our recovery is quick. It will be interesting to see who feels well enough to milk in the morning. My 5 year old offered to help do chores. I may just take him up on that. 😁

For those that are scheduled to come to our home this week, come at your own risk. I’m totally serious! 😂 We love you enough not to pass anything on. For those scheduled via zoom, we are happy to continue with the week as planned.

“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.”
James 5:14-15

We’ve been looking forward to a few days of great fellowship, good food, and some much needed down time.
November and December were very FULL in the best way possible. And even though January started out with a bang, it’s been so rewarding to see God continue to be faithful in ways we never expected.

Christmas time can be beautiful when you purpose to make it that way. I know we have had a few stressful holidays before and had to learn how to navigate those waters. Many families struggle this time of year so I’m sharing 3 suggestions on how to keep the main thing the main thing: keep it simple, meaningful, and fun.

Sometimes people have too high of expectations of others and what Christmastime should look like. I have seen gatherings be harder for some families, and not others.

Sometimes it’s pride that gets in the way. Sometimes it’s expecting something out of someone that they can not possible give, like loving-kindness. Sometimes it’s just as simple as bitterness they have in their heart that is exemplified in every area of their life, and it spills over to become family drama.

Sometimes those things can be talked through with maturity, and hugs and happy tears are given in the end. Sometimes boundaries have to be put in place because you call for peace rather than being infected by their contempt.

For those that can lay pride aside, maybe your expectations too, and be willing to love those people where they’re at instead.
Christmastime can be meaningful, kept simple, and joy follows the fun you create.

I am sorry that some of you find yourself overwhelmed with grief from a relationship. I find myself repeating, “We all have that one difficult thing or person in our life. It just looks different in each situation because your story is unique from another.”

Reach out to someone in need.
Smile at the person behind the counter.
Give generously.
You never know what they are going through.

I do hope your season of Christmastime can be those 3 things I mentioned above. It doesn’t come naturally to contentious people, but if you can purpose to lessen the stress by having the right response, creating an environment of peace and love in your own home, then you can rest knowing you are able to enjoy this holiday season with one another.
With all the love and kindness, Merry Christmas everyone! Peace on earth and goodwill to men.

Thank you Grandma Eva for the Christmas angel ornaments. It’s given us good memories to talk about over the years.

I thought I’d rather listen to their sweet voices rather than mask it with a classical piece. Their conversations are sweeter to my ears no matter how lovely Christmas music can be.

I hope you’re having a wonderful beginning to the last few weeks of the year. I pray you have had lots of joy in this busy season, and peace in your homes as you continue to relish in the gift of family.

May Jesus be the light unto your path this Christmas season and into the new year!

This is such a hard song to hit different octaves, key changes, hitting the high notes, and harmonizing with one another. But they have had a long-term perspective in practicing all of the difficult songs for several congregations this month. God is faithful.

More practicing… 📖
We have two kind bailiffs in the room. 👮‍♂️👮‍♂️

Mr. Friedmann is only grumpy for half the play. We have a gracious judge who helps free him from the burden he carries.

Every year, come mid-December, we seem to find it challenging to manage our rest well. 🎶 Yawns and all… it’s a lovely song with the most beautiful lyrics.
