Listen While You Do Something Else

Greeting Dear Friends at Home.

I am honored and encouraged by your visit here and I hope you will be happy with today’s broadcast.

I had a quick visit over to the high desert where we enjoyed looking at rock castles.

We searched for the annual wildflower show.

I’m back at the Manse and enjoying looking at the photos of the beautiful drive.

Please enjoy your routine at home while you listen to Homemaking Radio broadcast today;

Marianne said...: Dear Lydia, I am stopping by to say hello form HOT Alabama. Grace and peace to you from God the Father and Jesus Christ! I pray you are doing uncommonly well today... and thank you for all your lovely talks . I listened to this one again this morning as I took my walk around the neighborhood, at a slower pace than usual as it full on summer here.
Love,Marianne; 7:53 AM
Mrs O'Sullivan said...: Good evening Lydia, I enjoyed a hot cup of tea whilst doing a little english paper piecing, and stitching a few hexie granny flowers together. Slow hand stitching is so relaxing to do before bedtime, your broadcast was a delight to listen to.

Many thanks and God bless,
Kim; 12:30 PM
Michell Hendrick said...: Lydia, thank you for the talk today on the subject of "ministry" and touching on my personal email. I volunteer at a Christian woman/family resource center and in our state of Colorado a pregnancy center is very important. I was feeling guilty for wanting to step away a bit. I have decided to take a break this summer and make a decision in the fall.

Lydia said...: If you can’t afford time for the organization, maybe you could give something the person needs, delivered personally or send a card or do something personally.; 4:23 PM
Lydia said...: If you have any problems posting a comment, click on web version at the end of the post, then write your comment.

Marianne, it is still cold and stormy up here in Oregon and many people are still having to heat their houses.

Mrs. O’Sullivan: I am not familiar with the crafts you are doing but it must be interesting and fulfilling.; 5:20 AM
Mrs O'Sullivan said...: Dear Lydia,

Here is a lovely podcast video explaining slow stitching and English paper piecing, this craft really helped me through the past two years, I hope you and your readers find it interesting.

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
