Welcome to the Thankful Homemaker Podcast, a podcast to be an encouragement and

blessing to each other and the role God has called us to as women.

I'm so thankful you stop by.

So grab yourself a coffee or tea and sit with me a bit

as we talk about how God's word impacts every area of our lives as Christian women.

Hello friend, I'm Marcy Farrell from thankful homemaker.com and I'm so glad to get a few moments of your day. I have a bit more of a practical episode today and it's addressing our work at home and how we go about some of those tests maybe the ones that we don't particularly

I'm going to say care for or ones that are challenging for us. So I have a lot of

posts and podcasts that elaborate more on being workers at home or delighting in our work at home and I'll link to some of them.

But let me start out here with kind of taking a little peek at that verse in Titus 2.5 where we see the phrase in their worker at home or

keeper at home or depending on what your translation says but take a peek at it and

in the Greek it's the word a corgros which is it's a compound word and it comes from two root

words oicose which means a dwelling or a home or a household and ergon which means

to work or be employed.

So today's episode is focused on getting our work done in our homes, on being workers at home,

being diligent in the tasks that we have to take care of.

And I just am sharing today a tool that's been a help to me in doing that.

It's a tool that's been around for a really long time and I can still picture the one

that my grandmother used that sat on the top of her stove. It's one you have in your

home and it's just a simple kitchen timer.

And before I start out here, friend,

I want to let you know that I am coming back

to the Sermon on the Mount soon.
