No one ever told her that she could be a homemaker. She was taught she needed to be a high-powered career woman who didn’t need a man. I told her I sure needed a man to love, protect and provide for me, bless me with babies and help raise them, give me guidance, and enjoy life together with. I shared with her how much I loved being married, having children, and being a homemaker. She listened. She told me that maybe she could have been a homemaker.

My neighbors see me outside in my front yard with my many grandchildren often. Many have come to know them. Whenever my next door neighbor comes home, they all run over to her and give her a hug. They won over our grumpy postman. Now, if he hasn’t seen them in a while, he asks me where they’ve been. He always smiles and waves at me now. A few have told me they’ve never seen such well-behaved and happy children.

There were three couples in my neighborhood who were living together. The first one is a man who I watched grow up. His girlfriend was pregnant. I asked him if was going to marry her. He told me that he didn’t want to make two mistakes. I reminded him how secure and happy his childhood was because his parents lived under the same roof with him and loved each other and him. His dad told me a few days later that they’ve never told him this. His son was engaged and married soon afterwards. Now, they have two children which he is loving. Someone needs to tell them Truth.

Another couple moved in about a year ago and have been living together for many years. I asked them when they were going to get married. They kind of hemmed and hawed then said they don’t have a place to marry. I suggested a few places and told them how long I’ve been married and what a blessing it has been. A few months later, they told me they were engaged and to be married soon. They had chosen a place to marry. Someone needs to tell them Truth.

Another couple just moved in a few months ago. I see them often as they walk their big, adorable dog by our house. They’ve been living together for a long time too. I asked them when they were marrying the first time I met them. They hemmed and hawed, so then I told them the blessing of marriage. She showed me her engagement ring today! She is the one I shared about at the beginning of this post. She never wanted babies. I told her the great blessings of having babies and that she was created to have babies. I asked her if her fiancé would let her have a baby. She said yes. She’s thinking… Someone needs to tell them Truth.

The media isn’t telling them this. Their parents aren’t telling them this. If they go to church, their church isn’t and neither are their friends. They’re all living together and not having babies. Women, speak truth to the young people in your life. They need to hear truth! Then pray diligently for them. I pray for my neighbors almost daily. I help them when they need help. I talk with them whenever possible. They know we love Jesus. The garden flags in my front yard share Bible verses. They all need Jesus and His beautiful will for them.

I love to build a relationship with them. I want them to know I love and care for them. I want them to see Jesus in me in hopes that one day I will be able to share the Good News of the Gospel with them. Their eternal souls are what is more important than anything else.

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
1 Timothy 5:14
