I have been a house wife for many years. Getting up early, getting started early, is so essential to a well run home. Having those extra early hours to read God's Word and get something accomplished makes all the difference, especially now that life is so much busier. I used to struggle with getting it all done each day when I was younger. I realized that I needed to put in a full days work.:) Sleeping in until 7:30 or so was not going to cut it.

It really matters to me if the sun shines or if there is a passing shower, so I notice it more. We have lost that connection today, by and large, and I love my garden for the same reason.

I totally agree that this generation mostly is missing out on the stability of a mom at home. I am so grateful to God for placing me back in this role that I dearly love, with my son and his family after my husband went to be with the Lord. This situation allows me to minister in women's ministry at the church he pastor's and also to be a constant for the busy family of a Pastor. My two granddaughters are little ladies and their parents are bringing them up in the nurture and admonition of our Lord.

God bless. My youngest is graduating and I am now working outside the home part time. My hubby hasn't had a job in almost 6 years. I am enjoying my job a lot as I enjoyed my many, many years at home taking care of my little ones and homeschooling. That season is over and a new one has started. I hope one day to be a stay at home wife and a grandmom and be involved in my grandchildren's lives... but for now... since no on is even courting... and we need the money...

Being a homemaker h...What you say is so very true! Being a homemaker has been and still is, a great joy to me. Even though I am nearly 70 now and my children are raising their own children, I still find joy in keeping a neat, loving, orderly home for me and my husband. Unfortunately I see so many younger women today finding no excitement or joy in staying home, and seek something else. I am sorry to say that my daughters-in-law fall into this category. I have tried hard to provide an example for them, but I am often met with comments like: "Nobody does that anymore", or "that's too old fashioned, get with the times", or "we like to have money to spend". I tell them that no things or material goods can bring happiness - it can only come from within, from a sense of family, faith, purpose, and values. Having a closet full of new clothes, another car, fancy vacations, a big (and often unaffordable) home cannot take the place of inner peace and happiness. I feel that I am doing what God would have me do. The world cannot offer me any of this! I often think the world would sure be a better place if more women took the job of being a mother and homemaker a little more seriously.
