When you value the home as a Godly sanctuary the children will reap the rewards. In some homes the family is hardly there all week long. Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!

Other than cooking and baking, it was never taught as anything fun or creative, cleaning was the price you paid for having a meal.<br /><br />It will take some time for me to get this mental adjustment, but I think it will help my struggles in this area. <br /><br />Davette BJazzyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451172627396532239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-4115636902724392362017-08-17T12:36:05.856-05:002017-08-17T12:36:05.856-05:00This is such a lovely post, beautiful to read and ...This is such a lovely post, beautiful to read and look at. I have a blog devoted to Louisa called Louisa May Alcott is My Passion www.louisamayalcottismypassion.com if you wanted to come and visit. I also would like to invite you to look at my book, a devotional using Louisa's writings and verses from scripture -- it's part of a series called Literary Portals to Prayer and the book is called "Louisa May Alcott Illuminated by The Message." (you can see it when you go to my site). There are other classic authors in the series. I am sharing your post on my Louisa May Alcott is My Passion Facebook page -- want my readers to see it.Susan Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196578772207133725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-71739852608972977332017-08-16T15:09:54.066-05:002017-08-16T15:09:54.066-05:00Welcome Back, Jes!

I've also been feeling out of sorts lately and had just reached a conclusion yesterday, so it's so amazing I should find this post today! I shared it with my husband last night and am glad that he's giving me full support rather than trying to talk me out of it! <br /><br />In a nutshell, I'm active at church. We're fortunate that our church has so much to bring people in for fellowship, but I've taken on way too much this summer and I'm EXHAUSTED. I've let myself go, my home isn't the way I like it, & I have way too many things that need doing, finishing, etc. So, I've decided to abstain from my extra activities for about 4-6 wks. to get my life/home in order again. I love swimming outdoors at the Y and I've missed so much of this summer trying to do everything. Well, there's only a few more weeks before the pool will be emptied. Since swimming is so good for both my body and soul, that is the one outside activity I will keep. The rest of my attention will be to making my home a haven again. I miss my daily housekeeping and I certainly miss the order and peace it brings to my life! <br /><br />This post was exactly what I needed to read right now! It confirms exactly what I was feeling & thinking about my life right now! Pure soul food!

What struck me most was the words from 1 Tim "And withal they learn to be idle..." One thinks about being idle, or falling into idleness unwitingly but learning to be idle seems to indicate a more deliberate intent. Very interesting.
