In the balance of this one-flesh union, as husband and wife cleave and nurture each other and their children, they simultaneously reverberate this nurturing capacity to others.
~Rosaria Butterfield, "The Gospel Comes With a House Key"
There is a God who works on humanity's behalf. He is the Homemaker who keeps his people, and he will neither slumber nor sleep (Psalm 121:3-4). The Lord is always about the housekeeping: in our families, in out churches, in our cities, and in the world.
~Jen Pollock Michel, "Keeping Place"
This is our prayer, that our marriage would imitate our Homemaker, the One who reverberates with a nurturing capacity.
"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children, and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
Ephesians 5:1-2
