Building your home God's way is a constant job. Consistently working to do the job at home and for those of us who work outside of the house it can be overwhelming. I've had friends tell me they would like to run away from home because of the dread they feel when thinking of all the work to be done around the house.
This is just an encouraging reminder God has given us virtues to deal with our job/lives as keepers of the home: patience, diligence, prayer, petition, purpose and the ever needed endurance. Patience to wait upon the Lord when petitioning; diligence to carefully carry on with the task at hand; prayerfully bring worship, needs and concerns to the Father; petitioning husband, parents, pastor and those you trust when waiting for answers from the Lord; purpose driven, knowing you are in the place the Father placed you; and the endurance to complete the task of being the virtuous woman God wants you to be.
We all would like to know our efforts are appreciated and noticed. However, this may not always be. Service to God and family often happens without consideration of yourself.
As we go throughout the day, it's easier to keep in mind God gives grace that is more than efficient for us. The job of building your home and building the next generation is fulfilling for anyone.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27
