Homemaking is so much more than cleaning a house, cooking food, and making sure your family has clothes to wear. Homemaking is about nurturing a spirit of warmth, comfort, and love in your home.
She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27
As women we are called to the ministry of homemaking. Whether you work outside the home or stay home full time, you are a homemaker. You have been called by God to make the place where you and your family live a home.
Have you lost your calling? Over the next days and weeks we are going to challenge ourselves to look at homemaking differently. To see each ordinary activity in the home with new respect, recognizing how honorable it is to be a homemaker. We’ll be looking into the heart of the matter, where God meets you as a homemaker.
It’s a new year, a fresh start and I’m looking forward to seeing what God has in store for each of us as we tackle bad attitudes and discouragement and find peace and contentment in our homes.
Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God. Titus 2:3-5 NLT
