Guest Post by Hallee I have a new venture in my life. One recent morning in Sunday School, our teacher announced that our class would be one of four groups who would be volunteering with a local church's soup kitchen. That immediately got my attention. I had no idea my little town in central Kentucky had a soup kitchen. I have always felt a strong calling from God to serve. Lately, it's become an almost audible voice in my ear. I've discussed it with my [...]
Written by Sharon Kaufman, Contributing Writer "She does him good... all the days of her life." Continued from yesterday's post... But What if My Husband Objects? This is not unusual and can be frustrating. I have found that submission, prayer and/or a respectful appeal (in order to come to an agreeable solution, if need be) always honor God, guards against frustration and often obtains an open-mindedness from my husband. Here are some typical and reasonable objections your husband might offer: “I really don’t care to eat that [...]
Written by Sharon Kaufman, Contributing Writer "She does him good... all the days of her life." An Important Education for Women Many studies have found that married men live longer than bachelors. Diet is a significant factor. One study showed that: ''Women traditionally take more responsibility for the home than men do, and, as a consequence, a woman's education might be more important for the family lifestyle - for example, in terms of food habits…(which) could have a substantial influence on the health and mortality [...]
I'm not sure that I knew what I was getting myself into. It all seems so very long ago when I first began setting up Keeper of the Home over two years ago. I don't really remember what I thought blogging would be like... enjoyable, relatively simple, something I could do during the children's naps, a great way to share what I'm passionate about and get to know other like-minded women, and even a way to earn some money doing something I love from home.

Image by nutmeg There are a lot of things that my husband does that I know very little about. For example, buying and installing more ram for our computers. Or writing a marketing proposal and presenting a sales pitch to the CEO of a company. Or how to set up a set of drums, much less teach aspiring musicians how to play them. There are a lot of things that I know about that my husband isn't so well versed on. Like all of the [...]
Image by grame_newcomb Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is it possible that those burdens you're carrying were never yours to carry in the first place? When we get off course, God is so faithful to intervene and use any number of ways to gently guide us back to where we ought to be. In my case, He most recently used my husband to bring some correction and encouragement that I so desperately needed. Since the birth of my 3rd baby, about 3 months ago, I have [...]
I immediately knew that I liked Sharon when I read the sub-title of her blog, The Good Woman, "...she's not flawless, she's forgiven". She is a wonderful example of a woman desiring to teach the younger women in the model of Titus 2. I know that you will be blessed by what she has to share! ******* Guest Post by Sharon Kaufman Could your house, with its tasteful and attractively arranged furnishings, make it into the pages of House Beautiful? Most of us would say, [...]
