In my working life, I worked full-time outside our home for over two decades and all of those years my heart longed to be home. I really enjoyed my work life roles, but the one I have now is by far the most spiritually rewarding and personally enjoyable. Caring for our home blesses my husband and family, and that brings me sheer joy.
I’ve always enjoyed anything home related ... cleaning, organizing, decorating, DIY, crafting, cooking and baking, caring for and nurturing our children when they lived at home, gardening, and sewing. I lived for a very long time with an inner struggle of wanting to be home.
Thankfully, I’m blessed with a caring and wonderful husband who also prefers that I not work and who loves reaping the benefits of having a wife who enjoys and doesn’t find maintaining a home to be a dreaded chore. A win-win for both of us!
There are countless helpful books dedicated to guiding women along their homemaking journey, but the greatest source I've found is God's Word. Who better than our Father to provide valuable direction and insight into the important and honorable role of a homemaker?
