Do you love beautiful things? I know you do.
The Bible talks about beautiful things. In Titus 2: 3-5, it tells the older women to teach the younger women “good” things. And 1 timothy 5:10 describes the beautiful attributes of a woman. The word used in both Scriptures is “kalos” and means "beautiful and valuable."
Therefore . . .
To love your husband and to be submissive and devoted to him is a beautiful thing.
To love your children and raise a family is a beautiful thing.
To be pure, good, and self-controlled are beautiful things.
To be a keeper of the home and manage it well is a beautiful thing.
To practice hospitality is a beautiful thing.
To humbly serve others and help those in distress are beautiful things.
Dear mother in the home, you are worth more than rubies and precious gems! Your God-given mandate is beautiful and valuable to your home and to the nation. And even more importantly, to God.
Blessings to you today,
