Encouragement for Homemakers

A wonderful friend from church gave me this postcard when she heard I was reading Ella May Miller's Happy Homemaking! A Christian Look at Everyday Problems. Mrs. Miller was one of two women who sought to start a ministry encouraging homemakers, and they did something radical to get their messages out: They broadcast them on the radio.

As Mennonite women.

In the 1950's.

Trust me, it was radical.

My friend must have held on to this postcard for many, many years. The book simply contains the transcripts of Mrs. Miller's messages on her radio show Heart to Heart. She covered everything from mental health, to issues with your mother in law. Helpful, practical, and Biblical, the messages from Heart to Heart are still relevant. There is one entitled "The Whip of Hurry" which could have been written today! It laments the fast-paced lifestyle that often robs us of enjoying life. "Too many days are scheduled to the minute." How true! Let us slow down. Let us be still before the Lord.

Thank you for posting the post card! It is nice to be reminded that a Homemaker is a calling from God to serve others joyfully!
