A HOMEMAKERS HEART
Being a homemaker is a rare, rare gift. Don’t believe me? Have you ever been able to experience a young child learn something new and watch the revelation of it appear on their small face in a the form of a beautiful smile? Have you ever been able to watch the faces of your loved ones enjoy a food dish that you made out of love for them? Have you ever had a baking party in the kitchen with your sisters or enjoyed a conversation in the kitchen over a cup of coffee with your mom? Have you ever taught a school lesson to a child and listened to the benefits of your hard work when they read their first Dr. Seuss book to you? Have you ever experienced the joy you feel when your brother sneaks up and hugs you for being you? Have you ever teared up at the sight of your parents kissing and exchanging words of love to each other?Have you ever laughed and rolled in the grass while catching fireflys with your siblings? I have. I experience all this and more everyday because I am a homemaker. These little moments at home are what life is made for. Stop just living and really live! If you can’t recognize your calling as a homemaker as a joy then you are missing out on life. You’re missing out on the real reason of why you were gifted with the family that you have. Sure we all have our tough days at home. But that is not what’s important. What is important is that we grasp the gravity of our calling as homemakers. Only then will we know the true joy that Jesus wanted us to experience when he put us in our homes.
