Keepers At Home

Adorned Series #10. You can listen to this post here on Refresh Her podcast.

Isn’t it a comfort to know that God cares about what happens in our houses?  He created the family, and He has a plan for how we care for this ministry! Listen to what He specifically says about the home in the Titus 2 passage…

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home,

I love how the KJV translates it; as “keepers at home.” This is a woman who is devoted to her home, who has a heart for it.  She’s actively engaged and makes it a high priority in her life.

But all too often, home is a place where we come in to get ready to go out to the next event.

Corn Dogs at Home!

This summer when our city was having the fair, our small group from church was scheduled to have our monthly dinner together. My husband suggested that we fix “Fair food” for our meal. We all jumped on that idea like… mustard on a corn dog!

I was anxious to try my hand at making at home!

As it turns out, they were very easy to make and we loved them!

We use locks, safes, fences, banks, and fresh, new passwords to keep our valuables secure. But what do we do to keep our purity secure?   Have we given it as much thought? Do we set up protective measures so that it won’t be stolen?

Peace in Chaos

RefreshHer2 Comments

It seems so trite today to post a recipe as I normally do on Monday. The major devastation that the South Atlantic States, plus Tennessee have suffered this week has been heart-wrenching. The power of Helene has wiped out beautiful little towns, major bridges, Interstate roadways and homes. We’ve all seen images of the loss of electricity and water and the dramatic and sudden changes that have touched so many. It’s heartbreaking.

So rather than posting a recipe today, I’m writing this post to help myself (and hopefully you) to think truth. How are we to respond when we see such devastation and loss? What are we to think when everything is changing even moment by moment?

Behind the Scenes New England Fun

If you receive our D&D Ministry email you received an update this week about our recent 12-day trip to New England. It was packed full of wonderful ministry opportunities that widen our eyes in wonder at the goodness of our God! He lets us be a part of so many special people’s lives and of ministries that are doing an awesome work for God. We feel so blessed to partner with them and serve the Lord together!

But here’s a secret – He also allows us to get in lots of fun in the process! These are things that are not in the newsletter, but that I thought you would enjoy seeing!
