"The world only values women if they can earn money (a materialistic, unwholesome view of women), but God values them in a greater way, giving them the responsibility of guiding the home.
Read Titus 2 again. It does not mention money at all. It does not command the women to be keepers IF they have enough money. It simply shows the way women in the Lord's church are supposed to live.
They are supposed to marry, love their husbands, teach their children, and be keepers at home, workers at home, busy at home that the word of God be not blasphemed.This means that they should pay careful attention to these things; to do these things well , and not bring shame on God's word. This wonderful place they have in life, at home, gives them a chance to be different than the world. It sets them apart, as God's people, from the way others around them live..."

ReplyDeletebeautiful post!
ReplyDeleteI was a career women before marriage and children, some would say I had it all,, but why was I always feeling so empty!!!!
Only God can fill that God shape hole in my heart but He also give me desire for a husband and family, a need to serve others and lets face it WORK and MONEY was not satisfying for me (I understand that it is for men because that is what God intended for them but not for us)
I'm going to visit the link now, have a blessed weekend!

I love being a women. I lost my beloved husband but the Lord gave me my wonderful grandbabies to watch over while their mommy teaches school . I pray everyday that she will be able to stay home with them but for now I am blessed by them.

Thanks for sharing the encouragement! I feel so blessed to be called to stay at home with my children.
ReplyDeleteTrish,
ReplyDeleteThese words are so true. It's a shame these days that women are made to feel "guilty" for enjoying their calling as stay-at-home mothers/wives.
I'll have to check-out Lady Lydia's blog some day. It sounds very encouraging and supportive.
