“How can homemaking possibly be beautiful?
Why, even the word “housewife” carries with it a drab, humdrum quality, doesn’t it?
But, it isn’t so!
The housewife’s profession is just about the most challenging in the world – and the most rewarding.
Her most important job is to be the very centre of love and sunshine in the home. Her highest motivation is love.
It’s extremely important that the housewife make the most of every one of her God-given abilities and talents,
so that her life, her family, her home, her neighbours, her world, and her faith might all revolve in beautiful harmony.
A housewife’s rewards are the greatest in the world.
If your life is bubbling with Christian happiness, radiance and enthusiasm, it will blossom out into all of your world.
The Bible tells us that a “cheerful heart is good medicine.” Joy will bring health and vitality to every part of your being.
The happiness of your life depends upon your thoughts. How does your thinking run — uphill or downhill?
As you go about your housework, count your blessings. Work in a sunbath of cheer. Shut out thoughts that hurt. Turn everything so that you see its brightest side.
When worry comes, think of something else, something bright and beautiful. God’s Word puts it this way:
“Whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious … think about these things.”
