Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
This is something I have been clinging to for 15 years.
One of the desires of MY heart was always to be a mommy.
Another is to be a Godly wife, and homemaker.
To have a place where everyone who enters feels like they are welcome, comfortable and blessed.
I love the vintage homemakers who looked pretty and ready to receive guests at anytime. That is why women in the 30's, 40's, and 50's got up and got dressed, did their hair and looked presentable at all times. It was rude to be indecent when people came to call. Remember they didn't all have phones back then so they had to look their best in case someone popped over.
As a Christian mother I should be following this example. These women were modestly dressed and presentable to the public at all times. I am still confounded by some of these young mothers who think it is okay to dress like a common "street walker" with their young children in tow. Even in our churches we see women and girls with skirts so short they leave little to the imagination!
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with decency and propriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 1 Timothy 2:9
I want to encourage my daughters to feel like this is a Godly calling to serve their family, and later their husbands and families. My beautiful girls are created by our amazing father the King of all and it is with a humble heart that we should desire to serve him by serving our families!
