HOMEMAKING 1: INTRODUCTION

Women say, “I’m bored”, or I’m not productive, or “I’m not using my talents”.  When we feel like
that, we need to take another look at the challenge we have been given by the Lord.

You don’t need to force yourself into a particular mold that you don’t fit into, as you will be able to
do certain things better than others, because we are all made differently.  But we can all do a
pretty good job of homemaking, if we will just try!

The home is a physical place where your husband can come home and kick off his shoes and
relax.  It is not a showplace.  It is a place where the kids can bring their friends, have a place to
play, feel secure and experience the warmth of your love.  It is a place where a particular
atmosphere is created.  For instance, how does your husband leave home in the morning?  Is he
downcast, burdened or does he leave smiling?  How do the kids leave home in the morning?  Are
they happy, healthy, full, clean and groomed, prepared for tests, or are they sad, feel insecure
because they just got scolded (probably deservingly) but it just didn’t get quite resolved before
they left home?

Our face is a keynote to the day for your family.  The home is a place that brings happiness, love,
joy, peace, comfort and other fruits, so that the work of God can be carried out.  It is a place
where we all DEVELOP, our husbands, our children and ourselves; in order to become mature
Christians who can bring more glory to God.  If we all have our acts together in the home, we can
be better witnesses for the glory of God outside the home, and also have something to share that
has been proved and tried nd tested.

The Bible tells us to do “whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do all to the glory of God.”  Or “as
unto the Lord”.  
1 Cor 10:31 & Eccl 9:10.  Not begrudgingly, not complaining but like, WOW!  This is REALLY
important!  This REALLY does have PURPOSE!
