The other evening, as I was thinking of the many who shirk their responsibilities and try to shift them to someone
or something else; the question came to mind: “Who carries the most important responsibility of all?” Is it the
elder, preacher, policeman, mayor, president, the school principal, etc,...or who?
  The scriptures tell us in Titus 2 for the women to be keepers at home, to guide the house. She is spoken of in Proverbs as one who rises early, clothes and feeds her family, buys and sells a field...her hands are never idle. It has been said of yore that the “hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” Many a godly woman has reared her sons to be sound gospel preachers, song directors, elders, faithful men of God; and her daughters to be Christian mothers, dressing in chaste apparel, watching her manners, and to be in submission to her husband.
  Yes, can there be anyone with more responsibility and influence for good than a truly godly woman? Therefore, let the older women teach the younger women that they may learn to teach their children, love their husbands, and guide their homes as God would have them, knowing that one day we must all give an account to God for the deeds done while on earth.
