What if All Mothers were Paid Professionals?

 

What if All Mothers were Paid Professionals?

Foundation thoughts:

Husbands honor your wives.

A full quiver is good.

Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish …

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.  He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Children are a blessing from God.

 

     I can’t imagine carrying a small one to full term.  Ladies!  How do you even get used to the inner movement?  The very thought of a mom with child should throw us guys for a loop.  So, what if every mom were empowered?

     The man is dominant, right?  We are to be the chief servants in that calling.  We are to love them even to the death.  More than washing dishes and a few dirty diapers.  Real service (as you would your prized car!) 😊  We are to pay attention to the unsaid things she says.  If she ever says, “You’re not listening!,” you are on thin ice.  It is most important to learn her language.  In other words, know what she likes, desires, wants.  You know.  Like a friend.  Ahhh I heard the women sigh.

     If the marriage covenant requires bonding, why shouldn’t trust be paramount?  Do we really know each other? How much water flows under the bridge before we jump in bed to see if a married life will really work?  Premarital sex only harms because it is sin.  And all sin needs to be repented of and turned from.  Even past sins.  You know, the ones that give the devil a foothold to keep hounding you by temptation.  Severing ties to fleshly sins means transparency with spouse as in window all the way up.  He and she needs to smell your forgiveness like a fresh pie on the sill.

     Should wives be trusted?  Only if they have earned that trust?  Do I steal power from her that she gets desperate and leverages what she can to keep the family ship afloat?  Does she really need to use that long of a bar to get us guys off the coach of family indifference with a “serve me” attitude?  No wonder the woman wants out of the house so SHE can come home, kick her feet back, and even spend her monies feeling satisfied feeding the materialistic American god.  It's a cycle.  One that can be broken.

     If every mom were a family engineer, man would only work the job to pay the bills to keep the machine running.  In kingdom priorities, homelife is the spotlight.  At my man’s job, I can be replaced.  She can’t be.

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...

She Doesn't Tell You That You Are A Loser

She Doesn’t Tell You That You Are Loser Grace:  The incredible pink cushion between your screwed up decisions and the ramifications wrought by them. Mercy:  withholds the rod.  Grace says, “Now what?  Given you’ve gotten yourself into a marijuana muddied bowl of slime, would you like a hand up?”  She gets her hands dirty. “That’s ok, its just something I have to work through.”  And she does.  Her incredible prayer power burns a hole through overhanging clouds of gloom. My ears pierce in my usual confronting atmosphere.  An auto E.Q. does its job to focus the vibrations to the rear-view mirror.  Anger aligns my head to look straight into traffic.  Twenty minutes of a sub-woofer gets my energy out of the windshield. “Hey, you’re messing with my woman!”  We have an understanding.  She is to be under my wing.  I have violated before, running in a tangent to the graph.  I’ve learned not to overreact.  I conc...

Perhaps You Don't Know

  Perhaps You Don’t Know      Those present sat in the first pew, on the left and on the right.   The ring bearer was my faithful dorm mate.   Nearly my age and goofier to catch my sister-in-law’s eye, his antics spiced the military wedding.   We, known as a couple since high-school, were definitely going ‘steady’.   Mother-in-law held up the Panasonic cassette player to march the bride.   Proud Papa did say, “Her mother and I.”      It was a humble wedding.   A few were invited.   Even fewer braved the September roads.   The medium-sized First Christian Church of Aurora, Colorado let in the light.   Lack of air flow brought sweat under my suited armpits.   Finally, drops found their place to my forehead and I dropped to one knee.   Grandma thought I had already proposed previously.   A bit of confusion hung in the air until I stripped off my outerwear and got comfortable in the ...
