The Ministry of Homemaking

You can find the rest of the posts in this series here: The Ministry of Homemaking Series.

Our culture has conditioned people to value less the domestic arts than productivity outside the home. And while people love to criticize women who enjoy homemaking, who doesn’t love to come home to the smell of fresh baked bread or a tidy house. Who doesn’t love to open their drawers to find clean socks and underwear on a daily basis?

Before I go on, I want to make this point. If you work outside the home, for whatever reason, this is a safe place because I don’t know your situation and I am not about to assume that any woman loves her family less because she works outside the home. And while I’ve always been blessed to stay home, I know there are many women who aren’t able to do that. Plus, there are many women from nurses to doctors to speech therapists to music teachers to figure skating coaches {and more} who have blessed my family in so many ways and I love them all very much.

Homemaking Matters

Generally, people think of a “homemaker” as a woman who stays home full-time. And, while that may be true, I want to suggest that all women – whether they work outside the home or not – are called to be homemakers.

[Tweet “Families need women who make home a special place to live, learn, and grow.”]

You see, families need women who make home a special place to live, learn, and grow. There is no other job that presents as many opportunities for shaping {for the good or the bad} the future of our country – of our world – than that of a homemaker.

Studies have shown that the environment at home directly impacts how well children adapt to their world and are able to learn at school. Children’s emotional well being is directly related to the home and how relationships are formed there. Families who sit together on a regular basis and share a meal are less likely t0 have children who smoke, drink alcohol, and turn to drug abuse.

Homemaking is a noble work. It’s the work of hands in tender care when her husband needs her. It’s the work of a kind mother tending to scraped knee. It’s the work of a home cook, preparing a family favorite meal. It’s the work of a wife who knows just how her husband likes his socks folded. It’s the work of a thoughtful woman as she goes about planning for the holidays.

Homemaking Matters @ AVirtuousWoman.org

The homemakers chores are abundant – never failing to provide something more to do each day. Laundry is always dirty. Dishes always need cleaning. Floors frequently need mopped.

I was recently complaining about how my kitchen seems to always be in a state of needing to be cleaned. How can it possibly get messy so fast? My daughter-in-law, Winnie, said to me, “Dirty dishes are evidence of you cooking good meals.” {She’s Korean and I love how she puts things.}

I laughed, realizing how true her words were.

But how often do I look at the piles of dishes, dreading the clean up? Proverbs 14:4 says,

“Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of oxen.”

In other words, if you have a family like I do, especially if they are home all day everyday, they are going to need to eat. Which basically means lots of dirty dishes.

We could say the above verse this way: Where there are no children, the house is clean, but oh, how much joy children bring!

[Tweet “God sees the unnoticed work of a wife and mother, of a homemaker.”]

This life is messy. Homemaking is messy. It’s easy for the homemaker to feel discouraged by the necessity of cleaning the same things over and over again on an almost daily basis. But it’s in the small acts of faith that we find God. God sees the unnoticed work of a wife and mother, of a homemaker.

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ Matthew 25:21

We can find peace and even joy in the ordinary tasks when we have an attitude of thankfulness. When we are able to praise God for the many blessings He has given to us – from the fact that we have indoor plumbing {toilets that need cleaning} to food on the table {dishes that need washing}. A grateful life is never wasted.

As a homemaker you have the honor of caring well for your family. No one else can do that but you! Sure you can hire a maid. You could hire a chef. But no one can replace you.

        I'm so glad I found your page. I am on a journey of rediscovering my true identity in Christ and learning about what I am called to do as a woman of God, a mother and a wife (although I'm not yet married lol). I have heard people talk about "the Proverbs 31 woman" but have never taken the time to read the chapter for myself or get an understanding of what it truly means until I started this new journey. I am learning so much and so many aspects of my life are improving. I pray God will continue to impart words of wisdom to you as you continue to be a servant of God and help your fellow sisters in the faith. God bless!

    Hi Melissa, I recently found your site, and I am so glad that I have! As a full-time working mom with two little boys, I found it so encouraging to hear you say that I am a homemaker, too! Unfortunately, the 'mommy wars' is still a very real thing in our society, and I wanted to thank you for your words of affirmation in a world where our words often divide instead of unite. The words you have written these past few days have certainly resonated with me, and I feel that God is working on my heart in this area. Probably because I do work outside the home, I feel a lot of stress and pressure when I am at home to make sure I get everything in order in the limited amount of time that I have. I feel that God has really been telling me, as I have been reading your blog, that homemaking is not about a perfectly spotless house but instead about a place of warmth, security, comfort, and love. I can't wait to read through the rest of the series! Thank you for giving such words of encouragement to ALL women.

      Hi Jessica! I'm so glad you're here. I do want you to be inspired to be the best homemaker you can be, because life's too short to spend it stressed out and worried! I do hate seeing women criticize each other so much. It's so unfortunate and not God honoring! Who am I to judge another woman's choices or circumstances? I have my own problems to deal with! And God takes us each where we are at and works with us, molding us into His likeness when we let Him in. God bless you and your precious family!

        I seriously burn through dishwashers. I am on my 4th one in 20 years. I asked the guy what their lifespan was as the last one only lasted 3 1/2 years. He told me I had excessive use. It is not a decoration in my house. If I'm cooking/baking up a storm to cover for my nights I'm working then it gets run up to 3 times a day instead of daily or twice. Was 6 of us down to 3 of us now, but when they all come home with spouses and Grandchildren it is running a lot! It is a necessary item in my home.

    Thank you so much for this, i have been having critiscism about my lack of mothering and housekeeping from 'friends' for years and what ever i did it was to please them and i never inwardly felt happy. But since seeing your blog its changed my frame of my mind and since i'm being a homemaker for not only My husband and Children but for God makes it so worthwhile and at the moment, despite having a masking tape road on the floor (had a bit of fun with 17 month old son yesterday) i have a relatively tidy home.. still lots of organising and decluttering to do though but getting there !! Thank you for refreshing my mind and focusing on what really matters in homemaking :)

    Amen, sister! I am 62 years old and I can tell you by living through that time, that when women's libbers came on the scene, they started pushing women out of the home to work and implying that if you did not work outside of the home you were actually lacking in intelligence. I remember those years well. I am SO glad the trend is turning back to homemakers and home schooling. You can still live on one income if you manage your finances well, don't live in a monster home, don't have more than one car and don't buy smart phones for everyone in your family. My husband and I have a flip phone and no longer have a land line. Women are supposed to stay home to take care of the home and the children. Husbands say they work better knowing their wives are taking care of the home front while they are away during the day. I know there are single moms who have to work. I suggest you visit Sarah Titus' blog. She is a Christian who feels every woman has the right to stay at home with their children. Read her story. She went from an abusive husband, homelessness and poverty to working out of her apartment, buying a home and car and living quite well on $18,000 a year. AND, she has two kids. As my 77-year-old mentor tells me over and over, "God gave us these beautiful minds to work with. We need to use them." Great post! Cate <

      It is a wonderful blessing to be able to stay at home with your children. I also understand that there are women who need or want to work and I also realize there are amazing women who work outside the home who have blessed my family in countless ways and I can't begin to judge their choices to work outside the home. Women doctors and nurses who have saved my child's life on more than one occasion. A female speech therapist who gave my daughter the gift of being able to talk clearly. And a female dentist who my daughters love - and my girls always refused to open their mouth for male dentists so I'm grateful for our female dentist. And so many more women who have been a blessing to my family because they work outside the home. God is so good and I'm thankful for the fact that I've always been a stay at home mom and I'm also thankful for women who choose not to. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

    I am really enjoying your blog. I have just gone from years of homeschooling my children to sendjn them to public school. It has been a huge adjustment and I feel like I am trying to figure this whole home making thing all over again. How do I function all day without my kids? How do I make the most out of my time when they are in school? How do create an amazing home for them to come home to? Anyway, I have read several blogs similar to yours, but am just really enjoying yours. I like the homework you offer. Thanks so much!

    I have recently been in desperate need of some homemaking encouragement. My mind has been in turmoil. I don't have too many close friends that value homemaking. I am very involved with the church, but still find myself getting quite discouraged after attending and hearing so many comments from other women on how their careers and jobs are going. I have a certain friend who has her two boys do the household chores. She works and makes great money, but I can see between the lines. 20 plus years ago, I aspired both physically and mentally to be a homemaker and valued my role. I am finding it much harder now days to take pride in it because of society and the church's lack of respect for it. Help! I need so much encouragement right now. I know deep down what the Bible teaches on the subject and I want so badly to take it to heart again.

Melissa Ringstaff
Not gonna lie. 2020 was a hard year. And not just Not gonna lie. 2020 was a hard year. And not just because there was a pandemic. Our family has faced many trying times in the past but 2020 gave us some doozies.  I’m looking forward to a new year. The beginning of the new year always feels like a fresh start to me. It feels like HOPE.  But the truth is, whatever heartaches and hardships you and I were facing on Dec. 31 will most likely still be there on Jan. 1.  That’s why it’s hard to keep New Years resolutions. It’s easy to feel motivated for a few days or a couple weeks until we realize life hasn’t really changed and things are still hard.  But if we want to see real change it takes hard work and real effort. It takes showing up every day - even when it’s hard.  Whether that means working on your fractured relationships or setting healthy boundaries or cultivating self disciple... whatever that hard thing is that you need to work on ... it will only get better if you work on it.  We aren’t promised an easy life. But we are promised an “Ever Present Help in times of trouble.” Psalm 46:1  *

🏠 Being a homemaker is such an important role. 🏠 Being a homemaker is such an important role. It’s a ministry to your family and all who enter your home.  But I want you to know: You don’t have to be perfect. ❤️  There’s a fine line between teaching your children to be neat and insisting on perfection. No one can meet that kind of standard and it can be detrimental to the emotional health of your family.  What we want for our homes is to provide a space that is neat and clean enough that your family and friends feel comfortable and well loved.  There is freedom in accepting the fact that you’re not perfect. Not to make excuses for slovenliness - but to give yourself grace.  It’s when we recognize our weakness that we find ourselves reaching out to Jesus to receive the power that comes only from him. As homemakers, when we can find grace for the moment when we accept His Gift.  “But now for a brief moment grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us an escaped remnant and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our bondage. Ezra 9:8  Let His Grace wash over you, cleanse your weary heart. Homemaking isn’t about creating a perfect space. It’s about creating a home where loved ones feel cared for and nurtured.

❤️Your attitude about homemaking matters.⠀
⠀
A homemaker by definition is someone who manages and makes a home. 🏠⠀
⠀
But, anyone can clean and organize a home. ⠀
⠀
☑️ Homemaking is about more than checking off the items on your to do list.⠀
⠀
Learning how to be a homemaker means you learn how to make your home feel like haven of peace and love. You seek out ways to make your home feel inviting. You work at it.⠀
⠀
There is no easy button for homemaking. There are easier, more efficient ways to do chores, but the chores still have to be done. If you live in a house, you will create the need for the house to be tidied every day and cleaned on a regular basis.⠀
⠀
Having the right attitude about homemaking is the first step in learning how to be a homemaker.⠀
⠀
The good news is, even if you’ve been struggling with your homemaking, you can always go to God and ask Him for help. ⠀
⠀
He sees the unseen work of your hands. And He loves you very, very much. He wants to help you succeed. ⠀

🙏 If you’ve found it difficult to have a regu 🙏 If you’ve found it difficult to have a regular time with Jesus every day, you’re not alone. Lots of busy Christian women struggle to find time for a daily prayer and devotion time. ⠀
⠀
But I still want to encourage you to start your day with God! ⠀
⠀
⏰ If it’s hard to spend 30 minutes in the morning for a quiet time, I want you to remember you can still begin your day with God – even if that means saying a short prayer before your feet hit the floor in the morning.⠀
⠀
✝️ I also want to encourage you to memorize this verse:⠀
⠀
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.⠀
Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.” Psalm 143:8 📖⠀
⠀
In the morning you can recite this verse and say a prayer. It doesn’t have to take a long time. Although – if you do have time – you will be greatly blessed by spending more time in prayer and devotion.⠀

🎄 But the holiday season is a chance to focus on celebrating the life we have right now. Things don't need to be perfect for us to celebrate life right now!!⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀
☑️ Inside the pages of my Purpose 31 holiday planner, you'll find 8 weeks of planning and cleaning all laid out for you. Recipe pages, journaling pages, and more - 120 pages total. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
✏️ The Purpose 31 Holiday Planner is by far one of the most popular resource I produce each year. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Thousands of women have downloaded it over the last four years I've offered it.⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀
So, even though it's early still, you can go ahead and downlaod it. Print it out and then set it up so you're ready to go.⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀
I usually take my holiday planner down to Office Depot and have them spiral bind it with a plastic cover for about $5.00. This year, though, I just bought a new 3 ring binder at Walmart, printed off extra cover pages to slip in the clear sleeve, and created a binder with it. ⠀⠀
