"We ought not to be afraid..."

Thank yo to Renee for sharing her beautiful post on A Home-Centered Season. Here's a snippet:

I pray more young women would not only realize how God wants women to function, but will use this in-between time for glorifying God, for being a special helper in the Church, and for preparing to advance Christ’s kingdom as a husband’s companion. Young ladies, there is so much potential for you in the home of your parents-- Learning how to keep a home that will reflect Christ’s love and salvation will be a gracious witness to those who enter its gate. Gaining wisdom on child rearing will reap unspeakable benefits, as we bring up the next generation of dedicated Christians, descendants who will follow after us, carrying our name and our mission.

The paradigm of young women keeping the home and assisting their parents or husband, has been normal and presumed for centuries, and has been a nearly worldwide practice. Perhaps, early America would not have had the righteous statesmen and distinguished leaders we did, had women forsaken their mission to help their husbands and their commitment to raise their children. Modern civilization is what has departed from tradition. We ought not to be afraid to move toward restoration of an honorable civilization. Let us be a willing component of a revival back to God’s design for families, churches, and countries—beginning with the integrity and preservation of righteous homes.
