Good Caretaker

I hope you all had a happy Christmas season and are enjoying the new year God has given us.

Today I discuss the value of being a good steward (caretaker) of whatever undesirable dwelling you have (perhaps it is temporary) in order to be faithful in a little and chart your course for something better.

One essential for the homemaker is to have a steady, stable, determined attitude and a course to follow, free from fear and discouragement. I used this scripture:

2 Timothy 1:7
God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

I also read the rest of the chapter in The Jane Austen Diet by Bryan Koslowski, "Jane Austen Eats Meat" about the eating customs of the Regency Era.

I got so much done while listening to today's broadcast. I always follow your advice, to get ready for my day, before anything else. And today I took your advice to start sweeping my floor to get motivated and it worked! I did a "walk through" of my home, while jotting down what needs to be done. Before I knew it, I almost completed my list. What a great idea to do a walk through of the home! I enjoyed having you reeading to us from, The Jane Austin Diet. I bought my grand daughter the complete set of Jane Austin books. She has been enjoying them. I plan on giving her the Diet Book, for her birthday in a few months.

We appreciate you and what you have done for us, while making our homes a place to love and be loved.

Love,

Lydia said...: Hello Lydia,

I was delighted to listen in on another homemaker video. The weather has been bitterly cold here, so I have been going out to do the necessary chores quickly as possible before retreating into the house. Today I decided I needed to walk on the treadmill; it’s not something I get too excited about. 😏Well, I can truly say you made my walk an enjoyable exercise today. My mind was happily engaged on what you were saying and not on how many minutes I had yet to endure on the treadmill. So, thank you,Lydia, for coming to the rescue again today. 😁I especially appreciated your discussion of the importance of women seeing their homes and family as a ministry and making that the priority over home business and ministry outside the home.

Blessings,
❤️Holly; 1:20 PM

The Little Chap Who Follows Me!

A careful man I want to be;
A little fellow follows me.
I do not dare to go astray
For fear he'll go the self same way.

I cannot once escape his eyes,
Whate'er he sees me do, he tries.
Like me he says he's going to be;
The little chap who follows me.

He thinks that I'm so very fine,
Believes in every word of mine.
The base in me he must not see;
The little chap who follows me.

I must remember as I go
Through summer's sun and winter's snow,
I'm building for the years to be;
The little chap who follows me.

Welcome

" So far as this world knows or can vision, there is no attainment more desirable than the happy and contented home."

This is a Proverbs 31 and Titus 2 teaching blog, where you will find some ideas for creating the kind of home life that gives you a sense of well-being, creativity and accomplishment. It will help you understand the reasons for being the Biblical keepers of the home, as opposed to the world's answer of being career women outside of the home.

I really hope to help restore the culture of the home, which is a never-changing precept of the Bible: marriage, home and family. Young women especially need to know there is something else of greater importance than college and career, and that they play a vital role in making a stable family. In order to have strong marriages, respectful children, and good churches, women need to return to the home. My blog is based on the precept of First Timothy 5, verse 14:

"I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully..."

These articles are designed to give the homemaker ideas for doing an excellent job in the home and for enjoying the role of homemaker and guide of the house. Marriage, the family and home life is splintered. Women must be allowed to return to the home.

The Queen's Ire

England's Queen Victoria wrote in 1870, "I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights', with all its attendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feelings and propriety. Feminists ought to get a good whipping. Were woman to 'unsex' themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen and disgusting of beings, and would surely perish without male protection."-- Queen Victoria, 1870.

Home

"Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error…" ~Tasha Tudor

There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort. ~Jane Austen

Home ought to be our clearinghouse, the place from which we go forth lessoned and disciplined, and ready for life. ~Kathleen Norris
