Did you know that if you enjoy being a homemaker it brings;
Glory to God?
When we are in our homes using the fruits of the Spirit;
In our attitudes and in our service towards others.
We bring glory to God...
He has established the Home,
It is where we grow and find comfort and love.
We also learn endurance and discipline!
It is where we can learn correction and direction!
Take each day as an opportunity to use the gifts;
We can make each day an offering to the Lord Jesus.
Any act of service done in Love!
Taking care of our Husband's needs!
The children's need for attention and training!
Making a meal and enjoying it is a powerful testimony!
Breaking bread and fellowshipping with those we love!
Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
Kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
We need to ask the Lord to show us how to love others!
We need to know our Joy comes from the Lord;
And learning to be content...
Peace is what our families need, not someone always worrying.
But rather experiencing the peace that comes from trusting the Lord!
(In Everything)
We all know a little bit or a lot about long-suffering;
(This world has much of this going on!)
Kindness is a powerful weapon to keep the enemy away'
It's so easy to be kind, do you want to help your family overcome?
Then teach them kindness;
Words
Actions
Attitudes
Goodness is something you can count on!
We love the statement He is a good man or a good woman!
Faithfulness; will you be able to be counted on?
Or are you fickle and not faithful in what tasks that need to be met daily!
Gentleness, will bring better results in everything
Or do you think being mean will bring a better result?
(It is like pouring gasoline on a fire)
Being self-controlled is a great gift to all those in your life!!!!
These are all accomplished by God's grace!
But we must exercise these very things in our own homes.
Then we can walk in them while in this world!
Through these we can and will bring Glory To God...
Living From Glory To Glory
Thank you for the reminder that using our gifts to serve our family is also serving the Lord.

I have learned over the last few years how to appreciate God in the small things.. Especially my home and not just having one but being satisfied even if it isn't as I would like, cleaning and taking care of it because it is a gift from Him..Makes for a much more peaceful life. Loved your post.
ReplyDeleteYour choice of Bible verse is the very first verse I memorized! And it's still one one of my favorites. Couple this verse with your message and you have a great post!
ReplyDeleteHello Roxy,
ReplyDeleteI've not been by for a bit. I always find such encouragement for my career as housewife, mother, and homemaker.
Love to you!

Bringing the Lord glory through following His will for our lives. For taking our home and lives to be living sacrifices to Him. All of the attributes listed are so important in our homes!
