"The woman who makes
a sweet, beautiful home,
filling it with love
and prayer and purity,
is doing something better
than anything else
her hands could find to do
beneath the skies."

When I read this, I thought what else would my goals be? What else would I strive to do? I love to stay home! I want it to be a place of refuge...a place of love & prayer. I want to hold my children close & teach them the things of God. My desire is to pour scripture into their hearts daily. I want to set a Godly example as their mother. I want to be the wife my husband longs to come home to & care for. No, with 4 kids our home isn't always quiet or perfectly clean, but it can be peaceful! Helping my children learn & hearing them play brings such a joy & blessing! I couldn't imagine sending them off & me going to work just so we could have more. We have WAY too much now to keep clean! lol Enjoy life! Hold your kids tight! Greet your husband with a sweet smile & a kiss! :) What else could be better for my hands to find to do beneath the skies?
Amen...great post! You have spoke my heart. I agree there is nothing I want that I would send I children off to school.

Thanks to you for posting that quote! It really spoke to me! I hope you didn't mind me "stealing" it! I would have added a link to your blog, but wasn't sure how to do that...I am following your blog on the side of my blog, so I figured people could find it that way. Enjoying blogging with you! Appreciate all of your sweet comments! Love, Laurie
