The Noble Career of Home and Family Manager
Our culture and those who call themselves homemakers, stay-at-home moms, and homeschool moms often don’t see the value in homemaking and rarely see it as a career, let alone a noble one. How do we help women see the value in what they do as homemakers? We need to help them change their perspective. Let's try this on for size:
My career, profession, and permanent calling is to raise my children and support my husband. I pursue it as a knight in full career, with courage, generosity, and honor.
If you accept this noble mission, you are no longer a homemaker or a homeschool mom. You are a home and family manager.
Volunteering Imperfectly
The Noble Career of Home and Family Manager
The Noble Career of Home and Family Manager
As a volunteer who has jungled home, family, education, business, and volunteering, I’ve been asked many times, “How do you get it all done,” particularly when I was running a homeschool co-op. My answer has always been that I don’t get it all done, and now I’ve added, “and I don’t do it perfectly”. I came to realize that the only way to volunteer is imperfectly because God only made one perfect man, and it wasn’t you or me. Therefore, we need to shake the idea that our sacrifices have to be perfect, and get to work, because as Jesus said in Matthew 9:37 “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few…”. Therefore, let's come together to explore how we can volunteer imperfectly and play our part in God’s perfect plan.
