Hello Dear Ladies,

Thank you SO MUCH for coming here and also for listening to the video below. It means so much to me.

The first bloom this year.

I am trying a different flavor of tea every day, just for the scent.

I have this on MY PINTEREST

It may be a painting by William K. Blacklock.

Listen to When Queens Ride By, a story I summarized in the broadcast.

Please enjoy your home while you listen. I'm sorry it does not have a proper ending. The video stopped before I could sign off.

Mrs Bain said...: This week has been our spring break and we’ve been deep cleaning. It has also been raining cats and dogs. But, it has been wonderful to wash everything down and do some rearranging of the furniture.

Wives and Daughters is one of our favorite BBC movies. I love the contrast between Molly and Cynthia. Molly’s character is gentle, determined, and honoring. She is my favorite of this time period.; 11:53 AM

Antheia said...: Hello Lady Lydia,
I am greatly enjoying your videos, keep them coming! I like to listen to them while I do the dishes and tidy the kitchen. I hadn't before heard of Wives and Daughters, now I am curious!

Thank you,

Lydia said...: Thank you, thank you for your lovely edifying comments Ladies. They mean a LOT to me; more than I can express.; 12:11 PM
TiffanyK said...: Good Evening Mrs.Sherman,

I love the idea you shared of just smelling the lavender tea. It is almost like your at a tea spa. I will need to remember this for next time. My favorite tea right now is rose tea on amazon it comes in a little wooden box and it tastes wonderful hot or cold. Have you tried it? I have recently started using manuka honey in the rose tea and it definitely has a different taste than the Texas honey I’m used to. Manuka honey has been said to have all sorts of benefits including healing scars, balancing moods as well as improving the immune system.
May God bless you always Mrs.Sherman you are truly reaping treasures in heaven with speaking to the ladies here.

P.S. I’d love to know what you are currently reading this beautiful spring season.

Blessings, grace and God’s love towards you,

Mrs.Tiffany Koch; 9:30 PM
mystical heart said...: Hi Lydia, I truly enjoy listening to your videos and looking at the pictures on your blog. I just love when you share the story of "When queens drive by". It always seems a timely message for me. Thank you and God Bless...isabella.; 6:35 AM
Lydia said...: Isabella, These days many people have online jobs at home. I appreciate you are concerned enough for your son to home educate him. It will be a way of allowing him to become someone’s wonderful husband and father someday. By doing this you can encourage him to be an influence to other young people to do the same. I believe you have great power for good, with what you and your son can do. I have no doubt that God will bless you very much.; 9:40 PM
Homemaker's Heart said...: Hi Lydia, You and I 'cleaned house' this morning together. It was a joy to listen to the broadcast today. I think it was this video you spoke of "not at the table", I laughed out loud as I was emptying my little stick vacuum. My mom would say that often. Especially if my dad was siding with me and instigating.

It was the story of When Queens Ride By that got me to really thinking about my home and my attitude. Especially when I try to help my husband too much and I am getting taxed physically. At that point I know it will affect my mood in the evening and my sleep that night.

As I am getting older, I am finding a 20 to 30 min afternoon nap is a must for a better evening and a good nights sleep. If I am overtired I don't sleep well.

You spoke of our anxiety. I can understand that. I learned years ago something that helps me: imagine a hula hoop - one around you and one around the other person. What is happening in their hula hoop is their responsibility, not mine. The same of what is happening in my hula hoop is my responsibility and I have to answer to God for that. This has helped me put into perspective many things, even things from my childhood.

I'm off to eat lunch then have my afternoon siesta. Thank you for the broadcast.

Sending blessings,
Dee; 12:04 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
