This is important. Our love for the Lord but be greater even then our love for our families.
he who loves mother , father , wife , husband , daughter , son
more than me IS NOT worthy of me . Exactly sister . OUR LOVE MUST truly fullfill
The great commandment . TO LOVE the LORD thy GOD with all .....................
Many put family and humanity First . as a result their love even for them is not good either .
AS i often see it approving of their sin and taking their side OVER THE WORD OF GOD . it happens a lot sister .
WE put GOD , CHRIST first and from that cometh the true version of love your neighbor as yourself .
Cause guess what hate does .
THIS .
Ye shall not hate your neighbor in your heart , You shall in any way CORRECT HIM , NOT ALLOW SIN upon him .
but their love OVERLOOKS the sins , even calls good what GOD has called evil .

We are in the upmost of the last days sister . a strong delusion under the guise it is love and loving
HAS INFILTRATED christendom as it has the whole wide world and its religoins too .
Its love will not correct sin and error
its love now even allows UNBELIEF upon all .
SOUND LIKE THE DEVIL . cause HE BE THE ONE WHO DESIRES the death of all . so he can come up with a love
that SURE MAKES DEATH CERTAIN . . Very slick he is . but the sheep wont HEED him . THE WORDS of the LORD are our meat .
AND anything that contradicts them words , BE A LIE TO THE SHEEP and they WONT HEED IT . THANKS BE TO JESUS THE CHRIST
who has the sheep and
greater IS HE that is in the sheep than HE that is of the world . Folks better WAKE UP FAST .

Who is my mother , who are my brethren .
They who do the will of GOD . AND what be the will of GOD
TO HEAR and to BELEIVE IN HE WHOM GOD DID SEND . that is the true family .
Many will soon be betrayed by even their own sons and daughters , husbands or wives .
Jesus warned about that . The time is coming even within the western realm
where a dear christain loving mother
will even be betrayed by the children she gave birth too .
And vice versa too . The sheep , we are about to be betrayed big time sister .
This aint new either . BUT ITS about to go viral .

Being a housewife is very fulfilling even before or without children.

There are a variety of ways you can improve life for you and your husband. Fix him meals, create a cozy environment, show hospitality, homesteading, making resources stretch.

Don't worry about "me time" and how your going to fill your own cup. Put your heart into the service of others and God will give you what you need when you need it.

So Wynona,,,a woman of God

I was speaking to a 35 year old woman with a husband (surprise!) and a daughter of 9 yrs old.
She advised me that she can only devote 40% of her time to being a mother.

I have no idea what that means and let it drop since I feared what would come next if I had pushed her a little to explain.

I just hope she has a lot of help because a mother is a full-time job that takes 100% of a mother's time whether or not she works outside the home. (as this one does).

So happy to know that some of us do not understand this modern world.

Thoughts, images, videos, and other media to celebrate the home as a place of freedom, creativity, worship, and ministry.
This thread is coming up on its one year anniversary dear sister .
And this world and her nations are running out of time .
For us , we look forward to the new heavens and the new earth wherein dwells righteousness .
What a lovely home awaits the sheep .

You don't have to worry about "me time." At all.

I used to waste time worrying about it. "When do I get a break so I could focus on what I need and want vs my family? If I serve too much as a wife and Mom, won't I burn out?"

Im a housewife with two under three and my husband works 50+ hours trucking. There's a lot to deal with at times, especially if the little ones are sick.

But I've learned that I don't have to worry. God will take care of our needs as we serve faithfully. If I need rest, God provides that. And I trust that even as there are seasons with more pressure God knows what he's doing.

There's a quote that goes something like, "Nothing feels sacrificial when you realize nothing belongs to you."

Time is one of those things. If you work hard serving God and your family (not people pleasing---that is exhausting), you won't truly lose anything except your selfishness.

What if a scrub brush and a dirty bathroom are the ways God is choosing to sanctify you?

If a woman could find a job, she grabs it.
Bad economy...2 pay checks are really needed - more than in the states.

Women don't want to be housewives any more Wynona.
I've come to accept this fact with much sadness.

Children are being raised by the state and women that are NOT their mothers.
Husbands have to become part time housewives and it's not clear anymore who is in charge of what.

Divorce abounds due,in most cases, to the above and the frustration it causes and the impatience it causes
by each person demanding from the other what they are unable to give since we cannot be all things.

I see a mess.
And I don't see it getting any better.
Whoever has a wife, mom, like you should thank §God every chance they get.
I know what it takes to run a proper home and take care of everyone so they could do what they have to do...
(and some women also work AND do this)....so truly it is a work of §God and a calling just as some would call missionary work a calling.

What could be more important than having a functioning home and children that are taught about God and to be civil, which includes a lot of good traits.

I'm sorry for ranting...but there are truly few of us left.

I like theology a lot...and what do I hear at times'
That obedience to God is not even necessary because Jesus has done it all.

Let me stop here!
