A woman is a thermostat, not a thermometer. She sets the temperature for her people, for better, or for worse.

In this episode of Brightheart, we continue with the second installment of a short series entitled

A Homemaker's Rules for Life, where we'll work through some foundational principles in the life of

the homemaker. What are we prone to forget in the life of the homemaker.

What are we prone to forget in the thick of a busy day, week, and month?

What truth do we need to be tethered to in the gales of motherhood, the pressure of keeping a home,

and the busyness of a productive life lived before the Lord?

For many of you, these won't be brand new ideas.

Most of what we need to hear doesn't fall into that category after all. Did I snap at my kids because I just didn't know I shouldn't have? Was I disrespectful to my husband because nobody

told me I shouldn't be? Of course not. We all need to be reminded of these things from time to time.

The second rule goes like this. A godly homemaker is a thermostat, not a thermometer. She sets the temperature for her people

for better or for worse. She isn't tossed about by every emotional current in the home. Instead,

she sets the emotional temperature with steadfastness, cheer, love, and kindness. Well, welcome

back to another episode of Brightheart, everybody.

We are glad that you're here with us.
