Unfading Beauty: Wisdom from Wives

Be His Lily of the Field

Many of us have been brought up to be masculine due to feminism. We think we have to be in control, carry heavy burdens, endure stress, and worry about all that's on our plate.

But to bless our husbands, we are to be more like the lilies of the field. We store up positive energy to bring our husbands peace and help them to relax. Keep your whimsy, your smile, your laughter. Take care of your physical body and give your anxieties to the Lord. Consider the words of the Sermon of the Mount. Be like the lily of the field, trusting always in the goodness of the Father. Then we are free to bless our husbands with a peaceful and happy countenance.

Sometimes, it's tempting to get too serious about the duties of life and leave no room for happiness and whimsy.

To have whimsy, give yourself permission to do things just to make yourself bubbly and happy. It's important for the atmosphere of your home to lighten up, laugh, and enjoy your house too.

Amen! Build joy ... listen to some worship music while you plant some flowers. Flowers are beneficial to pollinators, and for the food supply ...and they add beauty to our surroundings, and bring simple joys.

"Grow up. Get serious. Apply yourself. Work really hard and you'll make a good life."

This is the message I was taught. I never expected to find a husband who wanted to make a good life for me.

Now he simply wants me to be at ease and enjoy life so he can be at peace and enjoy life. The playful, girlish nature I tried to put away is the very thing he wants to see more of. Whimsy, playfulness, and childlikeness are all very important. Femininity is important.

Sometimes the issue is how we approach homemaking. We should be less like contracted employees on call at all times and more like lilies of the field. If the main goal of homemaking is a peaceful and fun atmosphere we should also prioritize doing things that bring us peace and whimsy so we can provide that and not be stressed about our duties all the time.

I definitely have to be humble and realize that while I may want to do a lot of different things in the home which are good, it is not good for me to try do all of them at once. I can only focus on a few things at a time, no matter what my intentions are. Im a woman with great limitations but there is liberty in remembering that.

I have been truly invested in as a wife. Much like a classic car, age does not depreciate my value. I feel like a classic woman because my husband has cared for me way better than a car. Im not the same, not as insecure, not as flawed, not as emotionally unstable.

My husband is my confidant, mentor, leader, and guide. He provides a nice life for me but does even more. He's forgiven me when Im wrong, stuck by me when I was dysfunctional. Now Im transformed. Now Im confident, healthy, strong, and playful.

In my journey to become a good wife, I turned into a better version of myself.

In serving meals and folding clothes, I became a Godly servant.

In speaking well of my husband and defending his reputation---the honor extended back to me.

In not competing with him, we rose together.

In submitting to him, I excelled in the fear of God.

In appreciating his advice, I gained confidence that I was enough.

In recieving his love, I transformed into an unfading beauty.

Eve was a helpmate and a companion for Adam. As helpmates, we can do our duties at home with good sense and a good attitude. As companions, we'd do well not to forget the playful sides of ourselves. Think of the timeless photos of iconic attractive women. They always look carefree, don't they?

As wives we can choose to bring our husbands more stress or be the ones to lighten the load. Our smiles, playfulness, and satisfaction make our husbands feel our sacrifice is worth it.

FYI
The description of Eve in the Bible is a mistranslation. The correct translation of Eve defines the importance of a woman to a man.
Genesis 2:18 “...it is not good for Man to be alone...” And He wanted Adam to know the joy of having a mate so He decided it was time to make Him a mate. Translators of the scriptures could not and cannot, figure out the extraordinary description God gives her. Various translations of the Holy Bible have rendered the words that describe her to mean, helpmate, helper, suitable helper, suitable companion, or wife. The phrase used to describe her only appears once in the entire Bible and appears as two repeated words, zr zr translated either as Ezer Ezer or Azar Azar. The words do not mean help or helper. By themselves the words imply the type of protection that rushes to you to protect you. The dual use of the word implies a much more intimate and powerful meaning. The words imply “a person that strengthens and instills a confidence and purpose by an enveloping love.”

We all know what a loving companion can do to a man's ego. Ten foot tall and bullet proof.

You should have 3 billion followers on social media!

For months I'd come home to a house in disorder that needed immediate attention. Doors were open allowing the dogs to be where they weren't supposed to be - in the kitchen, getting into the trash or getting things down from the counter. The cat and dogs needed to be fed and watered. Dishes in the sink. Counter dirty, floors that needed to be swept. Laundry that needed to be done and folded.

While I work 50 hours per week, my wife would work 8. Where was she when I came home to chaos? Watching TV or informercials, ignoring my complaints. You know, the eye rolling thing. Sometimes she'd have marketing phone calls at 6 or 7 and use that "business" as an excuse for not taking care of the house all day. She always "felt terrible" as why she couldn't take care of the house but was always up to falling for one marketing scam after another, ignoring my protective warnings. She wasn't care free but should have been.

Yes, femininity is important. Odd that feminists deny it, only advocate for women to show up with masculine energy.

I wish I could say this type of situation isn't common. But Ive even seen wives who don't work keep things in total chaos. I think it's a combination of society devaluing domestic duties, laziness, and society devaluing men and what they contribute to their households.

A woman who is both helpful domestically and peaceful as a companion is rare. In my heart I think it ought to be more common. I know only one other woman like this---a dear friend. I strive for this. But based on Proverbs 31 (A virtuous woman who can find? Her price is far above rubies), I think being like that has always been rare.

I like playmates as I do help mates
just like a soothing balm
the daily chores are half the load
the waters keep their calm.

I don't need bitches in fancy britches
a pretty face and spikes all round
I've walked that road and what a load
is carried with a groan.
