Working Happily in our Homes...

Working Happily in our Homes:
Titus 2:4-5(KJV) Titus 2:4-5 is talking about Older Women being Mentors to Younger Women Teaching them to Be Keepers of their own Homes and be Happy about Keeping the Home.
That they may teach the young women to be sober(not drunk), to love their husbands(own husband), to love their children(own children).
To be discreet,chaste,keepers at home,(Staying Home and Taking Care of their Own Family,as well as their own Home)(Not busy visiting others while there Family and Home Suffers)good,obedient(submissive to their own Husbands)to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed(Do not Take God's Word by Prayer,Daily Devotionals,Talking about God with your family for Granted nor Talk with a Trashy Mouth or Take God's Name in Vain).
Daily I must submitt to God first and formost then to my Beloved Husband .
When I have my Daily Time with God my home ,family and I are all so much Happier.
I notice that I do so much better spending time with God daily then when I put him last.
God should always be first and then everything else goes so much better for my family and I.
So when I submitt daily to God by Spending time with God in Prayer ,Daily Devotionals and Giving totally myself to him daily I am better for it and I work more Happily at Home.

What Style of Decorating Do you all like as well as your family like? I know that My Family and I like the HomeMade/County Lived In Comfortable to our Family look and Inviting. We live in a Small Home and We live on a Very Tight Income at this time. We still have our Home to Pay Off fully off and then we will be Totally Debt Free.

My Favorite Bible Verses

My Favorite Bible Verses from the Book of Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 11 and 12 KJV(KingJamesVersion) verse 11 says The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,so that he shall have no need of spoil. This verse to me means that The Proverbs 31 Wife & Mother is fullfilling the Role and Ministry God has called her to do. To me this verse also means that her husband can trust her to do the best things and the right things for her Family because he knows that she is going to do what is best and what God has lead her to do as well as be Submissive to her own husband. Verse 12 says She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. This verse to me means she seeks to Honor Him and Respect him . She seeks to be the Best Wife she can be, She seeks to be Submissive to Her Own Husband. She seeks to Help Him in all areas of the Home she is a Good Home Manager. She is thrifty,She shops for good things and not bad things that would harm her and her family.

I will prepare breakfast for my family and sit with them while they eat. 3. I will work Dilligently to send every member of my family off in a good mood. 4.

JOY(Jesus Others then You) that is what JOY means in my Life.

Bible Verse's that help me out and encourage me..

BibleVerse's that help me out and encourage me.. All the Bible Verses that Help me out and encourage me are going to be out of the King James Version. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me,My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. These verses really minister to me at this time in my life. Another Bible Verses that Minister to Me as well as my DearHusband and Child is out of the Book of Galatians Chapter 6 verses 9 and 10. Galatians 6:9-10 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore oportunity,let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Well that is all of them at this time. I will ask God to lay more verses that minister to my Family and I on my heart and list them later on in another post. What Bible Verses help you out and are an encouragement to you and and your Family?

Viewing what God has Called me to Do as a Blessing and Not a Burden.

Viewing what God has Called me to Do as a Blessing and Not a Burden. I am a Stay at Home Wife first. I am also a Stay at Home Momma. I am also a Stay at Home Homemaker and HomeschoolTeacher. I often times find myself very discouraged and not wanting to be home taking care of our home , and my Family. The reason I often times find myself so discouraged and not wanting to take care of my Family and Home is because I leave God out of the Picture until the End of the Day. God should be the first in my Life not the Last and he should not get the Leftovers he should get the First Fruits of all I do. Then I can serve my Beloved Darling Husband and DarlingDaughter and other Family Members with True Happiness and Cheer and Sweet Attitude and a Sweet Manner. My Husband,Daughter and the Rest of My Family Deserves to have Me in a Good Happy Mood so they in Return will be in a Good Happy Mood. I have found that when I don't Give God the First Fruits of all I do Everyone Suffers Especially Me. I will choose to be Up Early to Give God all my First Fruits from Now on. I will Choose Peace, Joy, Cheery Attitude , Actions and Manners, I will choose True Happiness . I will choose Contentment and Most of all I will be in God's Will for my life as well as the Life of my Family.
