Many
women don't even cook anymore. The single most important thing to having
healthy bodies is to prepare your own food from scratch. This takes time. If
you eat a lot of fresh food, you have to shop more often. Washing and cutting
up salads and vegetables takes a lot of time, but it is worth it.
Healthy
husbands and children should be a priority over spending time on the computer,
watching television, or doing home projects. It should even be more important
than church Bible studies or other ministries. Your first ministry is to your
family.
Clean
and tidy homes should also be a priority. God is a God of order, peace, and
beauty. You need to spend time every day making sure your home is picked up and
cleaned. Train your children to help you as soon as they start walking. Here
are several verses about disorder ~
I
went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of
understanding: And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had
covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken
down. ~Proverbs
24:30,31
By
much slothfulness the building decays; and through idleness of the hands the
house drops through. ~Ecclesiastes
10:18
We
need to be good steward of what the Lord has blessed up with. We need to be
hard workers and take good care of our family's health and home. We need to be
lights to a dark world in all areas. Our husbands appreciate coming home from a hard days work to a lovely safe haven of his home.
Don't
let clutter take control of your life. You take control of clutter. Remember,
everything is going to burn someday. Don't hold onto things you aren't using.
Give them to someone who might need and use them. Don't hoard. God is your provider. Hold onto things very loosely.
So
no matter how much or how little money that you have or how big or small your
home is now, make it a clean and organized home. This promotes peace in
husbands and children. This is your job, ladies. Don't expect your husbands to
do your work. You do your work with a cheerful and thankful
attitude!
And
whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto
men.
~Colossians 3:23
