My dearest asks me most every morning what I have on my to-do list for the day. The normal answer is "normal routine" which means: cleaning, cooking, gardening, straightening, laundry, running errands and/or creating a new project.
What I forget to say is even though my days being a home keeper are routine I feel the utmost satisfaction in doing so. Keeping the home for four of the most terrific people in the world (I count four even though my eldest has a place of her own she still considers this home), is what I know the Lord God has put in my heart to do.
Slipping on my apron in the morning places me in my workplace. Achieving my daily goals and welcoming my family home from school and work gives me pleasure. Having my door open for hospitality is what the Lord asks of me. Taking care of the flock and the kitchen garden outside where I can have more than enough is not only by the sweat of my brow but frugal for our household.
Most every morning...some would see the life of this home keeper as dull and uninteresting. I call it happiness.
