The Homemakers Creed – Christian Homemaking

Uncategorized

This Homemakers Creed was sent to members of the Betty Crocker Home Legions Club back in the early 1920’s. Here is what it says:

I believe that homemaking is a noble and challenging career.

I believe homemaking is a art that requires many different skills.

I believe homemaking requires the best of my efforts, my abilities, and my thinking.

I believe home reflects the spirit of the homemaker.

I believe home should be a place of peace, joy, and contentment.

I believe no task to is too humble to the cleanliness, the order, the health, the well being of a household.

I believe  a homemaker must be true to the highest ideals of love, loyalty, service and religion.

I believe home must be an influence for the good in the neighborhood, the community and the country.

These clubs came together to help women learn how to can, cook, manage a home, etc. I know that many younger women would benefit from such a club today and from the fellowship. So many moms struggle with going at it alone and find homemaking and having a family quite challenging (a semester of Home Economics in high school is just not enough!).

I have heard of women still practicing groups like this today and was wondering if anyone else has?

Would you be interested in a club that helped in homemaking and what would you like to learn?
