A poem

Once upon a time I planned to be
An artist of celebrity.
A song I thought to write one day,
And all the world would homage pay.

I longed to write a noted book
But what I did was ---learn to cook.
For life with simple tasks is filled,
And I have done, not what I willed,
Yet when I see my girl's hungry eyes
I'm glad I make good apple pie!

HomeKeeper Mission Statement


I have read recently in other home keeping blogs it is good to have a mission statement. When I first read this I thought to myself it may be "overkill" for me. I am not a novice at being a wife and mother--why have a mission statement?

Then I thought about it again and realized it does help align my thoughts as to not only what my purpose is but to appreciate everything God has and is doing within my heart.

So here goes: My homekeeper mission statement:

To love God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength and to love all my neighbors as myself; seeking Him faithfully and consistently.

To be a committed encourager, lover, help-meet and inspiration to my husband Dan and fulfilling this role all the days of my life.

To exemplify Godliness and grace to my children, teaching God's character, His Truth, and the fruit of the Spirit in all situations inside and outside of the home; to listen and guide whenever needed.

To express hospitality, demonstrate charity and provide warmth to all who cross the threshold of our home.

To live life to the fullest, fulfilling all God has for me and utilizing all talents and wisdom He has imparted within me.
