God Bless your home.....!

Hi...

The Bible says..

The Lord Blesses the home of the Righteous.

(Proverbs 3:33)

Today, I pray that God's favor and grace will be your portion.

★"Home Is Where The Flowers Bloom"★

Home is where the flowers bloom

and children love to play,

And mother's whispered lullaby

Is heard at end of day.

Home is where the Bible's read

and children learn to pray

Before they hurry off to school

and put their toys away.

Home is where you live a dream

that others make come true

Because they love you as you are

and want the best for you.

Home is where the years fly by

on wings of solid gold.

And memories are precious gems

To treasure when we're old.

Home is where the flowers bloom

although we are apart,

And we can smell the roses 

forever in our heart.

Homemaker's job surely not easy but definitely rewarding!

Life of a homemaker may not be easy as a walk on a bed of roses. As  most of our lives is spent  pressing on, believing, holding on in faith, praying, paying bills, making beds, fixing breakfast and lunch, helping kids with home work, wiping their tears, crying with them etc. 

And many hours during the day we may be all alone and may feel no one really cares. 

So much of what  homemakers go unrecognized. The beds made every morning, toilets scrubbed, every meal made, other chores around home, errands run to the market, dust, sweep, clean etc may not necessarily get noticed. 

We see that our family members take their medications, vitamins, eat the right food, or stop them from eating stuff that is not good for them ensures their good health but they may fail to see our heart of concern.

 But it is good to remind ourselves that God is with us, watching over us, so consider it all joy that we are never alone at home. Let us do all we do as unto Him and not unto man.

 Ephesians 6: 7 "Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free."

So let us do what we do with all our heart.

 Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,"

A homemaker has a lot of rewarding moments too! Homemaker who handles a lot of household responsibilities may not be paid for their service but it is a greatly rewarding job as it is a joy to see kids grow, being there to see them take their first step, lift them when they fall, their hug when you have a tear in your eyes and so many such priceless moments.

 And we get a lot of time to pursue our hobbies (writing/stitching/knitting/painting/gardening or whatever it may be), get time to be alone with our Lord in between our chores and can do so much more.

So "Homemakers" you are doing a great job too!

Be blessed...

A "Full time" homemaker,

Julia 

Love a "Homemakers" job!

Wikipedia describes "A homemaker" as a person whose main job is to take care of his or her own family home and children. Traditionally, the job of homemaker is done by women and the job of provider is done by men, but both men and women can be providers and homemakers."

I am not an accidental full time homemaker but loved to be one and chose to be one. 

It is not an easy job always but I wouldn't trade it for a second.

But I am also so...in awe of those who manage a career out and also is a homemaker!

God appreciates all we do as a woman, indoors or out.

"A woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates." (Proverbs 31:31)

Homemaking is sure an honorable profession.

Every homemaker may not have a full-time or part-time maid, some may not have even a washing machine, dishwasher or microwave to assist them and make work a bit easy but still it is a job of great worth!

May God help us "Homemakers" to be strong and fit so that we can serve our own and others who visit us!

May God help us be hospitable Homemakers.

God Bless,

Training and teaching our little children

Hi..

If we show our children when they are young the right path to take and tell them about the only way of truth(John 14:6), as they grow older even if they go astray or wander away, they will know to find their way back!

What they learn as a little child they will not easily forget!

And pray at all times for them!

Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Be blessed,

Julia 

Show them you care...

Sometimes vital and important relationships take a back seat because of our career, ministry, or other activities that keep us busy!
We sometimes take people in our lives for granted.

Some of our elderly, grand-dads, grand-moms, even elderly parents are forgotten lying all alone just longing to hear few words of love.

When we remember people we had forgotten or those we left behind and turn back to say how much they mean to us, they may be gone never to return and you may never be able to see them again. 

So before it's too late we need to tell our loved ones how much we love and care for them.

Let us treasure every vital and important relationships in our lives.

A Poem I read:

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

****************************

If you have a tender message or a loving word to say,

Do not wait till you forget it, whisper it today,

The tender word unspoken,

The letter never sent,

The long forgotten messages,

 The wealth of love unspent,

For these some hearts are breaking.

For these some loved ones cry.

So show them you care for them before it's too late.

Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead.

When Death claims the light of my brow

No flowers of life will cheer me; instead

You may give me my roses now!

~ Thomas F. Healey

You can make a difference!

Hi.....

There are times we wonder, "What can I do to make a difference in someone's life?". 

I just want to share with you a something I read that has blessed me so...much.

Just some encouragement for WOMEN in here...

I don't know who wrote it...but it's the words that matters...

Hat's off to the one who penned this down.

Be Blessed,

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

______________(Author: Unknown)_____________

When you look at today's world, it's hard not to feel as though it is a 'lost cause'. After all, you are only one woman, what difference can you possibly make. You can pray, of course, and ask God to change the world we live in. But I believe He looks to His hands here on earth to show that God does make a difference.

Your hands and my hands are God's hands. To many we are the only Bible they will ever read. If we are to be like Jesus, we can't be like everyone else. People must be able to see a difference in us. If they see 'God' in us, and in our actions, then they're going to want God in their lives.

I spent a lot of time feeling frustrated and helpless. This wasn't the world I grew up in. It wasn't the world I wanted. It got so bad that I didn't even want to listen to the news or even read the newspaper. The overwhelming feeling of helplessness was just too much. So, selfishly, I began to look for ways in which I could make a difference . . . even the smallest difference. And what a difference it made in my life!

Use your talent, whatever it might be, to touch another life. If you sew, make a rag doll for a homeless shelter.

If you cook, stir up a batch of your great cookies for an alzheimer's facility.

The list of things you can do is unlimited. Each one touches a life in ways you can never imagine. And while you are using your talents, your own spirits will soar and you'll feel Jesus in your heart.

Make 1 phone call to someone who needs to hear from you. Let them know you are thinking about them.

I adore greeting cards. I never leave the store with less than 5 or 6, buying them with no particular person or occasion in mind. Then I have them on hand to send(snail mail) with a handwritten note to someone needing a 'lift' or a 'touch'. (You can even remain a 'secret pal'.) Think how you felt the last time you received an unexpected card.

Tell a Bible story to a child.

Make a phone call to your local politician, let them know what you support and that 'you' do care what they are doing. Christians don't have to be silent. Speak up! You see, you aren't helpless.

Still feeling like there's nothing you can do? 

Do you realize that if each of us only did a couple of things a week for others how many lives we would touch for Jesus!

I personally want to give you my heartfelt "Thank you!".

Spread the word that we are loved unconditionally by a Father who is never too busy to talk with us, walk with us and hold us up. 

And we are His hands.
