I frequently see this image shared along with self-righteous moralizing about how awful life was when most women were homemakers.

Every good craftsman (and craftswoman) appreciates good tools. A carpenter who finds value in being a carpenter will appreciate being given a good quality carpentry tool. If a woman finds value in being a homemaker, than she'll appreciate being given a good quality homemaking tool. If I bought my wife a state of the art blender or food processor, I know she'd love it. Gifts don't need to be useless baubles to be appreciated.

Yeah, I know it's usually shared as a joke, but that in itself is evidence of how far our culture has fallen. Why is it funny to shame and ridicule others for choosing a vital and honorable profession?

Anyone in the dallas fort worth area ?

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
#exodus 2:9 #shmot

A daughter of Pharaoh (king of Egypt) conspires with a daughter of Levi to preserve a messiah of Israel. I don't know what the significance is, but it's interesting. Maybe Mary's cousin Elizabeth had some role in Joseph taking his family to Egypt to escape Herod, a daughter of King David and a daughter of Levi.

Q20: Why did John weep in Revelation 5?

Women take center stage in the first part of Moses' life story: Jochebed, Miriam, Bithiah, and Zipporah. Women received and preserved Israel's messiah in Egypt, Moses. This same pattern would play out again centuries later with Israel's ultimate Messiah and King, #yeshua.

A chiasm spans the story of Moses' birth and centers on Miriam witnessing the events. I suspect this means that Miriam is the original source of the material in #exodus 1:1-15.

When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank.
Exodus 2:3

Moses' mother made an ark and covered it with pitch, saving Israel and the world from the flood of Egypt. His ark was much like Noah's: plant material coated with pitch to save humanity through dangerous waters. The word for "pitch" is kofer, spelled exactly the same in Hebrew as kipur, which means atonement. Moses in the river and Noah in the Flood are prophetic foreshadowings of another exceptional man saving the world by atonement.
