I just finished reading Philemon in my study Bible. The study notes reminded that Paul sent greetings to/from those who hosted the early Christian church in their homes, like Philemon. And this made me think of my Mom, "the hostess with this mostest".
My Mom was a homemaker. She influenced me greatly. She hosted church prayer meetings in our home, and joked that she was "the hostess with the mostest".
She influenced me greatly. She taught skills like cooking and cleaning and caring for others. She served Dad and US breakfast, lunch and dinner. She helped us be ready. She lived her values as a Christian. She was a HOMEmaker.
As the American family disintegrates, as the call goes out for workers to work, as houses and apartments and huts are no longer homes, I feel compelled to give a shout out to the homemakers.
So, in memory of my Mom, I shout
HOMEMAKERS ARE IMPORTANT!

Our culture pushes the college degree. I was a very smart girl. Went to college, got a professional job in the medical field. In my heart, never wanted to leave my babies to go to work. THANkS to my HUSBAND, why supported my decision, I went part time. Eventually quit to be full time homemaker. Never been happier. It was Gods plan for me all along to be a HOMEMAKER, and I do resent the push by society for girls to find a “ good job” other than consider homemaking as a profession.

I say again, it's because they (govt pigs) want to double the taxpayer money that they steer it this way. We are like cattle being steered in the direction they want. TV movies, ads, news... it's their agenda and sadly people are brainwashed to buy into it.

They NEEDED to increase taxes to keep the federal reserve scam alive. Now they need more bodies again so they push illegal immigration.

Absolutely true. I wish there were some way to get people to understand this.
