A homemaker is someone who cares for the home and puts the needs of those living in it first.
A cornerstone is a base from which a house is built. It provides a starting point for a stable foundation and stability for everything it holds.
I am a homemaker, and Jesus is the cornerstone of my life, beliefs, marriage, home, and purpose. The walls are joined together by the cornerstone; I am joined together with God and my husband through Jesus Christ.
Although, they are only two words they both carry many meanings and sum up the center of my life. God is my homemaker, and his only son Jesus is my cornerstone.
“As you come to him, the living stone rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him. You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in the scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
1 Peter 2: 4-7, NIV

My name is Amelia Robertson, I am the creator of Homemakers Cornerstone. I designed my business to have a place to share my love of God through writing. I also wanted to share my experience as a homemaker by recommending tips and ideas I have learned.

Yesterday I washed the dishes, dusted the furniture, vacuumed the floors, did the laundry, scrubbed the bathroom, and put away the odds and ends that always seem to pile up.![]()
![]()
Some might raise an eyebrow at doing all of that in one day. But while I worked, God placed something on my heart that I haven’t been able to shake:![]()
![]()
How beautiful is it that my calling is to care for the ones I love?![]()

God entrusted me with the sacred responsibility of creating a safe haven here on earth, a refuge from the outside world. No one should ever dread giving their loved ones clean clothes to wear, a hot meal to eat, or a clean bed to sleep in. What a gift it is to serve in these quiet ways.![]()

Each day is made up of tiny moments. And it’s those tiny moments that build a faithful life.![]()
Fold the towels and thank God for the hands that will use them. Wash the dishes and thank Him for the meal that filled empty stomachs. Sweep the floor and thank Him for the shelter over your head.![]()
It’s not how much you do, it’s the spirit you carry while doing it.![]()
![]()
Somewhere, someone is praying for the very life you have right now.![]()
![]()
And when you’re exhausted? When you don’t feel like doing one more chore? Remember what Jesus endured on the cross. He carried every sin, every sorrow, every burden, willingly, out of love for you.![]()
![]()
Don’t complain.![]()

My lifelong prayer is to become a Proverbs 31 woman, not in perfection, but in faithfulness. ![]()
A woman who works with eager hands, speaks with wisdom, fears the Lord, and serves her household with strength and dignity.![]()
![]()
Chores are not chains.![]()
They are opportunities to worship.![]()
And even when no one else sees what you do, God does.![]()
![]()
Ask yourself…![]()

![]()
Lord,![]()
Thank You for the gift of my home and the people within it. Forgive me for the moments I complain or grow weary in serving. Help me see my daily tasks as holy work, opportunities to love well and reflect Your heart. Give me strength when I feel tired, gratitude when I feel overlooked, and joy in the small, unseen moments. Shape me into a woman who fears You above all else. Let my hands serve faithfully, my words speak wisdom, and my heart remain soft before You. May my home be a place of peace, safety, and love, all for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.![]()

Who else is excited to plant some seeds soon?![]()

"And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Great tips!Tips on drying laundry from a mom who ditched her dryer 3 years ago 🧺![]()
![]()
Line drying isn’t aesthetic for me. It’s practical.![]()
![]()
And no — your clothes shouldn’t be crunchy.![]()
![]()
Here’s my advice on line drying your laundry:![]()
![]()
• You’re using too much detergent.![]()
Air drying exposes residue that a machine dryer hides. Less really is more.![]()
![]()
• Skip the fabric softener and scent beads.![]()
They coat your clothes and can make them stiff. Clean fabric doesn’t need artificial fragrance to prove it’s clean.![]()
![]()
• You don’t need sunshine or warm weather.![]()
Clothes dry in winter too. Sublimation happens even in below-freezing temps. I’ve hung up jeans that froze solid within minutes of hanging, but after some time they essentially freeze dry. ![]()
![]()
• Don’t hang from elastic waistbands.![]()
It stretches them out faster. Clip from seams, pants by the legs, or areas with thicker fabric. ![]()
![]()
• In summer, hang in the shade or turn clothes inside out.![]()
Direct sun can fade colors.![]()
![]()
• But if you’ve got stubborn stains?![]()
Sunshine is one of the best stain removers I’ve ever used.![]()
![]()
A clothesline isn’t primitive.![]()
![]()
It’s quiet.![]()
It’s practical.![]()
It saves money.![]()
And it keeps one more appliance from running in my house.![]()
![]()
Do you line dry at all or is this your sign to try it this year?![]()

A Time for Every Season: Finding Hope After Winter![]()
![]()
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”![]()
Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV![]()
![]()
All winter long, I’ve waited for spring.![]()
Last night, I stepped out onto my porch and heard the frogs peeping for the first time this year. It’s one of my favorite parts of country life; the sound of God’s orchestra playing right outside my windows. That tiny chorus feels like a promise: winter doesn’t last forever.![]()
![]()
Scripture reminds us in the Book of Ecclesiastes 3:1 that there is a time for everything. A season for every activity under heaven. A season for blooming… and a season for barrenness. A season for rejoicing… and a season for enduring.![]()
![]()
The troubles we face can feel like a long, cold winter, dark, heavy, and still. But God’s grace is like the warmth of spring. His love gently thaws what has grown cold in our hearts. What once felt lifeless begins to soften. What seemed barren becomes fertile ground for new growth.![]()
Winter has a purpose. It strengthens roots. It clears away what cannot survive. And when spring comes, the growth is deeper and stronger than before.![]()
![]()
If you’re in a winter season right now, don’t lose heart. The frogs will sing again. The sun will feel warm again. God is already preparing your spring.![]()
![]()
Open your heart to Him. Give Him your troubles to thaw. Trust that He is working beneath the surface, even when everything looks still.![]()
There is a time for everything and your season of renewal will come.![]()
![]()
Ask yourself…![]()
![]()
1. What has this season been teaching you?![]()
![]()
2. Is there something in your heart that feels cold or hardened?![]()
![]()
3. What would it look like to surrender that area to God today?![]()
![]()
4. Where have you seen small signs of “spring” beginning in your life?![]()
![]()
Heavenly Father,![]()
Thank You for being Lord over every season of my life. When I feel stuck in winter, remind me that You are still working beneath the surface. Soften the places in my heart that have grown cold from hurt, disappointment, or fear. Help me trust that this season has purpose. Give me patience to endure and faith to believe that spring is coming. Thaw my worries with Your grace. Plant new growth where there once was discouragement. And teach me to listen for Your gentle reminders of hope; like frogs singing in the night.![]()
In Jesus’ name,![]()
Amen.![]()
