Just a reminder to myself…..

“…..homemaking isn’t about the house itself or the things it contains.  Being keepers at home is about focusing upon the Lord in all the everydayness so that our houses become centers of hospitality, forgiveness, training, business, welfare, shared mourning and celebration, and- oh, yes- lots of tracked in mud, crumbs under the chairs, and everything else that goes with human beings.  We must not lose sight that our homes are God-given tools to bless others.  They aren’t the end goal; they are, simply, one of the means to the end.  And what is the end?  Dying to self, laying down our lives, serving others that Christ may grow His kingdom and transform the world and ourselves as we do things His way.”   ~From the book   Passionate Housewives Desperate for God by Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald
