Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Proverbs 31:28

A homemaker is, "one whose occupation is household management". (Webster) This is God's instructions to the women in 1 Timothy 5:14, "guide the house" and Titus 2:5 "keepers at home". An occupation is that which occupies or engages one’s time and attention. There is no such thing as an accidental home. Homes are the result of those who are occupied with homemaking.

Homemaking is a profession of its own. In proverbs 31:10-31 we find an account of a homemaker:

1. She is classified as a virtuous woman (v. 10)
2. She is a help to her husband (v. 11-12).
3. She is a wise shopper (v.13-14).
4. She is a faithful cook (v. 16).
5. She has things growing at home (v. 16).
6. She is diligent (v.17, 18, & 28).
7. She is busy with sewing (v.19).
8. She is full of compassion (v. 20).
9. She looks ahead for the family- not taken by surprise. (v. 21-22).
