Dear Mrs. Fuentes,
This article is most inspiring! Thank you so much.
But I have only 2 boys, and would LOVE an article about how to inspire them to be involved in the "manly" part of home and family involvement. How can I do that? My husband works in an office all day and comes home late in the evening. I spend most of the time with my boys and as a mom, how can I help them learn good helpful concepts too? I already have them helping out with the cleaning, like vacuuming and picking up the heavy laundry baskets for me, as well as raking leaves or shovelling snow. Is there anything else that boys can do around the home to help them become good husbands one day? My husband is not a handy man at all, so they never see him using any tools or woodworking etc. What do you suggest?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read my comment and I appreciate you so much!
God BLess you Richly and Abunduntly and give you health always to continue in your ministry at home.

Yes, thank you so so much, June! These are wonderfully inspiring suggestions. I've just been taking a look around at little ways that I've been compromising on the quality I've been bringing into our home... Thank you for the gentle inspiration to return to Goodness.

Hello Sarah Mae,

That is not a silly question at all, hope chests certainly were practiced more traditionally in the past--mothers would gather and collect items for her daughter and put it in a cedar chest for the day when her daughter would go off and marry so she could take it to her new home. Quilts, linens, silverware, dishes, towels, family heirlooms, etc were placed inside and preserved. Today it has been replaced with the bridal registries. This is a great topic--I will probably do a post on it soon and go more into detail, but I hope that helps for now...

Thank you so much for this post......I was reading over the questions and boy it made me realize how far behind I am in training my daughter. Thanks for being such and encouragement. Blessings

Thank you again for this, as soon as I have the extra money, I'm going to get some of those books you recommend.

I have kind of a silly question, but I just don't know (I wasn't raised in a Christian home). What exactly is a Hope chest and how do I make one for my daughter?

Again, thank you! I went and reserved 2 of the books, the only ones our library has. And I think the Keepers at Home books would be good for me too :0)

And I've been more aware of my attitude towards housework all morning, so you are a blessing.
