Welcome
Hello and welcome! I'm Sylvia Britton, and I've been online since 1996 offering encouragement and help in the spirit of Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 at Christian Homekeeper. CHK is the original Homekeeping site on the internetI am a Christian, a believer in Jesus Christ. So everything here is unapologetically Christian in view. I believe God has a plan for each person. He offers salvation from our sins and His judgment. He knows each of us, intimately.
I’m also a wife, mother of 5 adults and a grandma of seven so far. I believe that God works in ordinary lives like mine and yours, too.
Every time life gets too busy, getting back to simple uncomplicated daily routines has helped me quiet down and draw closer to God to listen to Him. I think it will do that for you too and I’ll show you how to do that here at Christian Homekeeper along with offering some insights to life as an older Christian sister and spiritual mother.
Thanks for visiting. Come back soon, I’d love to get to know you and hear about your journey.
Very cool! I will have to check it out and see if they are offering seeds for Kentuckians. Have a blessed day!
Oh, Sylvia! Thank you so much for posting this!
