Of Homemaking...

Moms, this post is for you.

If you are like most moms, you sometimes

feel like you don't reach around to

meeting needs outside your home

like you wish you could.

May I simply encourage you to

focus on being the best wife and 

mother you can be to the family

God has given you?

Finish that task well,

and if you never get to be

deeply involved in other needs,

you will still have accomplished

(by the powerful aid of God)

a monumental task

that will influence thousands,

if the world stands

and your children choose Jesus.

Don't fall for the lie

that you have to be 

mothering and wifing 

plus something else.

Sure, if there is time,

and God calls you to it,

get your family to help you

feed the hungry,

clothe the naked,

visit the shut in,

help busy moms,

open your home to bless

others,

etc.

However,

do not sacrifice your time

for other causes

if you are neglecting 

the hearth and home

task

God in His wisdom

assigned you.

And please teach your daughters

that homemaking is a

noble calling.

So often I think we forget that

our daughters are in this world,

hearing the lies of satan

thru feminism.

Teach them why homemaking

is important.

(Do you know? More on this in

another post)

Be selective about who their close

friends are.

(Are they feeding them lies on this

or any subject?)

Be joyful in  your place,

an example to daughters

who are looking on.

And above all,

love God with your whole heart.

He will give you the 

strength you need

to love being home

and to be fulfilled in

this often overlooked

and unacknowledged place

we fill.

God sees.

He is well pleased when

we do this as unto Him

and not to mankind.

So go ahead and embrace

being a wife and mother

with full whole-hearted

joyful abandon.

And don't let satan lie to you

by telling you that your worth

and your time is only increased

when you do the home thing

PLUS something else.

The results you will receive

if you buy into this lie

will not be worth it.
