Women have a powerful and influential place in their Oklahoma home.
As a homemaker, you have the power to make your home an anchor for your family. They need you to lead and guide the home. Your home is the central hub where the most important things in life happen for each person as the hunger to learn and grow, inspiration, dreams, and desire to accomplish something. It is the place where creativity is sparked, experiments are tested, and dreams take shape. Every great musician, inventor, or thinker first found the freedom to imagine and create within the walls of his own home. When a woman gives herself in marriage she aspires to fill her role in a powerful way.

You, as the matriarch and homemaker, have the ability to set an atmosphere of growth and development, or you can choose to stifle your child’s aspirations with critical remarks and harsh opinions using words that kill their imagination and dreams. The tone you set determines whether your family feels important and relaxed and appreciated, or that they can never meet your expectations and give up trying. Most of the time it takes self control to stop the impulse to criticize from your own point of reference, and choose to listen, admire, and respect the creativity being expressed. Many times our own self criticism speaks out but needs to be controlled to allow for kindness and understanding. Encourage growth by having a designated area where your husband and children can express themselves through art, tinkering, or problem-solving. These activities gives them a sense of belonging and ownership. A child who feels anchored at home is less likely to seek validation elsewhere, reducing the chances of aimless wandering, loneliness, and boredom.
While maintaining order is essential for everyone in the family to feel comfortable at home, children also need spaces to explore, build, and invent. Provide them with space to make things. Encourage them to enjoy doing life’s duties by bringing joy to their daily chores. Work can be fun and learning to do it right can be a positive challenge. Life requires a lot of work but if it’s taught as a routine that is just as important as sitting at the breakfast table, making ones bed, cleaning up the play area, cleaning the kitchen, garage, or car can be a normal part of the day that brings joy when finished. Help them to create a dream board of what they want to do in life and include short-term dreams and goals. Use a big thick poster board where they can pin their ideas, goals, and projects that they want to accomplish.
Another way to anchor your family unity is through shared meals. Gathering for breakfast and dinner provides consistency and a deep sense of connection. These moments are invaluable and should be prioritized, as they reinforce the family’s unity and security. Make it a priority to turn the TV off and turn off all computer games and silence phone interruptions when it is breakfast and dinner time, Everyone should be present and invested in this time together. A vacant chair should not be taken casually, but instead be a rare occurrence; because every member plays a significant role at the family table. My mother read the Bible to us while we ate, and this tradition anchored us to truth and godly principles. Knowing right from wrong became second nature because truth was established by the Word woven into our daily lives. We understood that everything we did or dreamed of doing was for the purpose of making life better for ourselves or someone else. After dinner, it should be a family affair to clean the place up together. No one should leave their plate for someone else to pick up. Everyone who eats must work to put everything back up in order so that the cook can leave the kitchen at the same time as everyone else.

The home and the matriarch of the home serve as a deep anchor for the family, providing stability, wisdom, and comfort through the problems life brings. When the world outside is harsh, the home is a refuge where each member is accepted and loved without condition. The mother embodies this love, offering hugs, words of affirmation, and an open heart that reassures each person of their worth. The mother of the home offers a steady presence in times of hardship, providing reassurance, encouragement, and a sense of calm when chaos threatens to take over. Your words and actions remind the family that they are not alone, no matter what storms they face. You have the power to play down the drama and help the family look above and beyond the emotions of the present distress. The matriarch’s presence is a positive and influential source and can also be a great comfort that glues the family together. The familiarity of the sounds of your voice and smells of home, your cooking, and other small things become anchors that remind the family they have a safe place to return to, no matter how rough the day. The home is an anchor where family traditions, faith, and values are preserved. These common practices in your home are more important than one think whether it’s a shared meal, a bedtime prayer, or seasonal traditions—they give the children a sense of continuity and identity, reminding the family of who they are and where they come from. Some homes enjoy the opportunity to host a grandmother for an extended period. The years of experience and insight, she often provides wisdom for life’s decisions. Whether it’s advising a young adult on their career path, helping a son navigate financial struggles, or comforting a heartbroken child, her guidance is like a steady hand steering the family through life’s uncertainties. As a link between the past and the future, the grandmother matriarch ensures that family history and values are passed down. She connects the younger generation to their roots while equipping them for the future. As a matriarch of your home, you hold up hope and remind the family of what is true and lovely. Whether through uplifting conversations, or simply your unwavering belief in better days ahead, you presence keeps hope alive in the confusing seasons. You set the tone of your home. Through your words, attitude, and actions, you can create an environment of peace, warmth, and resilience. Even in challenging times, you foster laughter, gratitude, and togetherness, ensuring that the family remains united and steady. In times of division or misunderstanding, you are often the one who calls everyone back together. Whether through a family fun gathering, a heartfelt conversation at bedtime, or simply reminding your loved ones of what truly matters, you fosters reconciliation, renewed appreciation for one another, and unity Whether your family is facing financial hardship, illness, or loss, you hold the family together. You are quick to find solutions, carry burdens, and make sacrifices to ensure everyone is cared for. Your strength becomes the foundation on which the family believes in and builds up their shared dreams.

You as the anchor of your home share knowledge not only through words but through your actions. By watching you persevere, love unconditionally, and handle challenges with grace, your children and family members learn resilience, responsibility, and the power of speaking kindly and respectfully. While you are a steady anchor, you also encourage yourself and your family to reach beyond one’s comfort zone to celebrate achievements, inspire dreams, and help each person become their best self. A matriarch doesn’t just hold a home together, she holds hearts together, reminding each person that no matter what life brings, they have a safe harbor in her love and in the beautiful home she creates. A child who grows up with a strong sense of right and wrong, purity in the home and purposeful living will not struggle with identity nor waste time chasing meaningless pursuits. Instead, they will move forward with confidence, acceptance, and the security that equips young people with the values that will open doors for their future and give them a place to contribute to the world. As a homemaker, you are more than just a caretaker, you are the foundation upon which your family stands, the nurturing force that cultivates growth, and the safe harbor that keeps your loved ones anchored at home through life’s storms. Being surrounded by truth found in the principles of the Word of God in Proverbs gives the family stability, purpose, direction, identity, and balance.
