Keeper At Home, Why?
Being a keeper at home means to take care of a home. Not just your future home but your parents home while you are still young. If you keep your parent's home ( or help keep it.) It will be easier to take care of your own family and home someday.
I have been thinking a lot about this lately. I have read some very good articles too on being a keeper of the home. But really, being a keeper of the home isn't just cleaning and chasing kids around. It's being a servant to your family, parents, and siblings. To have peace in your home, and being a godly woman. (Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
Proverbs 31:28)
It's easier to start young, that's why your mom is going to nag you to clean something or another. Really it's not because she likes to nag or that she is nagging, but she is trying to teach you to how to keep a home. Titus 2:3-5 The aged woman likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the younger women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.)
Ok there's a lot in these three verses, and quite a few questions! Like....... "How am I to love my husband and obey him when I don't have one yet!?"
Well, Love your father and obey him if you can do that then you can do it with your future husband. Also, keeping your father's house will help you practice! ;)
I don't have children of my own yet, and hopefully not for a while because I have my younger siblings to love! And hey! If your the youngest you probably have younger relatives! :) If you practice loving your siblings (or younger relatives) you'll be able to love your children someday.
I always thought that when I'm older, I will be a better sister and mother someday, but really if your not nice to your siblings now you won't get any better when you're older.
Do you know the saying, "You can't teach a old dog new tricks?'' Well it's sort of right. If you don't practice being a keeper at home you'll never learn how! Or you will, the hard way.
(For all mothers who read this, please note that I used nagging for that's what the normal kid thinks, which I think is wrong so, no hard feelings right? (-; )
Is it Biblical?
So after some research I found that it is Biblical! Just read Proverbs 31: 10-31. Here are some verses to just prove it! :)
(She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31: 27)
(Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. 31)
You can also read Titus 2:3-5
Why should I learn now?
Like I said before you can't teach a old dog new tricks. So it will be hard for you to learn how to run a home when you have no idea!
I have a little story for you, There was a girl that didn't know how keep a house(You know cook ,clean.) but when she got older she got hitched, yup, married to a handsome guy. So, as the months went by she didn't know how to keep a house. She had to learn the hard way, unfortunately. But through the years she got better and better.
It's a pretty good story huh? :) Well, back to the point. Since she didn't learn when she was younger, it took her awhile to learn when she was married! Which is easier? Learning when your younger and have it come naturally to you or learn as you get older? I pick the younger for sure!
That's why you have chores at home! (And if you don't, give your self a chore!) So you will learn how to keep a home!
One last thing before I go. A keeper at home is also a godly woman, so start that young! Read the Bible and pray! Please, I encourage you to read Proverbs31 and Titus 2 and write down what you learned from those passages!
(Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:10)
Bye, Ya'll! Until next time!
