A Great New Blog

This lovely quote is from a blog I just discovered at a time when I am stepping back a little and examining how I spend my time as a wife, mom and homemaker and ways that I could streamline and simplify things to do all those roles better and use the time God's given me well. Phew that was quite the sentence! :)

Anyhow, she has wonderful thoughts and tips and I'm just barely scratching the surface but I love this and hope it inspires you, dear fellow mommies and homemakers...

“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 their precious lives 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 the spunk and energy to follow through on all the dedication, organization, and purpose that answering God’s high calling to homemaking requires.”

–Elizabeth George, A Woman’s High Calling
