Keeper of the (Rolling) Home
Greetings to my keeper at home, godly sisters!
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Titus 2:5
I want to encourage you sisters to take a moment to realize what a grand calling this is, being the keeper at home. It's not just saying women should 'stay' home like most people emphasize, it is much more than that. A godly woman is to be a strong fortress in her home through the word of God, not becoming like we see in 1 Timothy 3:6-7

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Being a keeper at home is a tall order for a godly woman and one that she should not take lightly, yet not let it weigh on her heavily as we are to be more like Mary than Martha.
But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. Luke 10:40-42
I send you love, my keeper of the home sisters.
Have a joyous day.
Love in Christ,
