“Homemaking is an art, and you have the privilege of expressing and developing all your talents there in a little place called home. You get to build…beautify…organize…create…fuss…express yourself. You get to read and study and grow and master nutrition, finances, horticulture, design, wardrobe, etc. And you also get to shape your children, to give them a bent toward God. To nurture their souls with the good things of God. To pass on the truth about Jesus to one more generation. And to do so means you’ve got to be dedicated, organized, and a woman of purpose. And you’ve got to have spunk and energy to follow through on all the dedication, organization, and purpose that answering God’s high calling to homemaking requires.”

Very wise words. Nice to see your update. Take care and God Bless.
It is so good to see you back on here. I missed your gentle guiding and teaching. I need it, so hopefully, you will be back on again soon. Love ya
Very good thoughts! Praying for your daughters move. God bless!
You are such a blessing and the Lord is using you mightily – Praise His name and blessings to you!
Such inspiration! Makes dirty diapers and dirty floors sound so romantic!
It is such a privilege though, don’t you think? Thanks for the encouragement. You are fulfilling the Titus 2 instruction the Apostle Paul gave to teach the younger women: “To be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”
You are so right.. it IS a privilege. I’ve been reading a book called, Keeping House: The Litany of Everyday Life by Margaret Kim. The book is opening my eyes even more to the sacredness found in the common every dayry day ’round’. 1 Cor. 10:31. We tend to divide the sacred from the mundane when all things lawful can be lifted up as an offering to our Lord.
Loved the reindeer cookies! My grandchildren would love to make them. Was there something white behind the chocolate chip eyes?
Thank you for praying. Tomorrow is facial surgery.
Thanks for sharing this. You are such a good teacher.
