Weak women will have many masters, and none will treat them right. They refuse to submit to their husbands - as Priest of the home. . . And in so doing, they will submit to many masters. . .The world will guide them. They will listen to every preacher on the radio and try to make their husbands obey the latest TV preacher . . .the one they thought was "right on". . .Well everyone said he was the best Bible teacher alive today, so wife thinks husband should obey him, hands down. . Never mind that Husband hasn't even heard the latest TV preacher. Heck, he just got home from work. . . He ain't thinkin' of anything except, "Hey Honey, what's for supper??"
Of course Honey don't have supper on, as she is reading her Bible being spiritual. . . And she wonders why her husband isn't saved yet. If a wife will put her husband first, then its okay to listen to TV and radio preachers. But these men are not your authority in your home. . . Your husband is the head of the home. . . We are to reverence and praise our husbands. . . not our preachers. . .We wives are to glorify our husbands. We are their glory and they are to be God's glory. . . Our glory is our long hair, or our covering, before our husbands. . . As we, on purpose, veil ourselves or grow our hair long for our covering, then this speaks of our meek and quiet spirit. . .This is our beauty, our submissive, meek spirits. We need to run our homes to please our husbands, to make them happy.
You ask, "okay, when do I get waited on? When is it my turn to rest and have time to myself?" . . . I don't know. . . seriously, until the last few years I never even heard a woman ask that question. . .
Most women, since the beginning of time, pretty much knew that her work as wife and mother was NEVER done. . . "Man was to work from sun to sun but a woman's work was never done." . . . We had 6 children. . . Often a lil' one would keep me up all night. . . But then, when the alarm went off, and I had barely had any sleep, I got up with my husband to make his coffee and send him off to work with a smile. I most always walked him out to the car and threw kisses to him as he drove away. . Sometimes I pretended to race him to the corner as I ran down the street, just to make him laugh. Yeah it was a lot of work, but I was married for almost 40 years, so it was worth it.
I never lost any of my kids. I kept the family fed and cared for on very little income. I worked at it, believe me. . . And my husband did praise and bless me in the end. . . and my children also. . . So yes, it was worth it.
Love Connie
