Homemaker in Training

The opportunities that we have as

homemakers-in-training are abounding everywhere we look.

Whether a daily task such as laundry folding, a

weekly culinary duty such as baking bread, a bi-weekly errand to the grocery

store or a seemingly "mundane" job, (like scrubbing the household toilets) we

have every opportunity imaginable to exercise and practice skills while we are

yet "in training".

But there is more to being a homemaker, than the

jobs which we can do. Young Ladies, (mothers/daughters/wives) it has to do with our hearts. And it is our choice. Will we perform our homemaker duties with joy and delight

in each task (which includes scrubbing the crummiest of toilets), or will we

choose to frown upon these daily opportunities? Will we choose a servants

heart or will we try to minimize the effect of being a

blessing?

We can make a whole house sparkle from top to

bottom but if our heart isn't full of love from Christ, then that perfect house

means nothing. We can make a delicious supper for our family, or run an errand

for Mom, but if our hearts are grumbling then our act that could have been a

blessing, means nothing.

We can garden, can, clean, sew, take care of

babies, run errands, meet every agricultural farm need, whip out loads of

laundry in lightning speed, and make a mean pot of soup BUT if our heart is not

thankful to the Lord for the blessing of being a homemaker in training, if we

are not grateful and full of joy at our Proverbs 31 calling, then what a waste

of the opportunity that the Lord gives us as women!

The choice is yours - do you find JOY in being a

homemaker?!!
