Becoming a stay at home wife

After working outside the home for 23 years, I know that God wants me to stay home now. My health is going down hill and working and keeping house is really getting very hard. I have asked my husband to let me quit my job and be a full time homemaker. He said he will think about it and pray about it but he has not given me an answer. Pray that he will and that the answer will be "yes, stay home" I believe that God can come up the little money I earn. Pray that my husband feels the same way>

Lord, God let your will be done. Heal LynnMM of her failing health. And provide for their needs, in your name, amen.

I am amazed at how hard a woman will work outside the home and then
continue her work at home. My mother would return home exhusted usually late in the evening (bankers hours). She would not have anything left and she too now after all of those years of burning the candle at both ends is having health problems probably due to all those years of added stress. I believe that those who make the choice to stay at home
to be a homemaker is an honorable decision if there are still kids in the house. There are many cottage industries that are run from the home as well that can provide the difference in income that you need. My own wife made this decision before our firstborn son came to be a homemaker.
It has now been 15 years and she would not trade it for the world. Our children bear the fruit of that decision, and the peace of God is all over this family.

May God give to you the grace and wisdom needed in this decision. May you receive the knowledge that you are not the sick trying to get well, but the healed striving to keep what the shed Blood of Jesus paid for.
For by His stripes we were healed.

Blessings, Robert Cyders...
