Delicate Beauty of Homemaking

I have been watching old episodes of Little House on the Prairie today and thinking about a quiet life at home. Ma Ingalls would sit by the fire at night, in her rocking chair, and do the mending. She would look up and smile at her family as they talked or played nearby. During the day, she was busy baking bread, cleaning or tending to her flowers, or garden, around the front property.

Home was quiet. It was a pleasant place to be. We need more Ma Ingalls who are sweet and meek and gentle but who will work hard at home. I know we mothers get very tired at times, but we must do our home duties. We need to work hard to make home a precious place. We need to find pretty things and create and decorate.

Regardless of the trials and tribulations we endure, we can make the meals; We can cook and bake and clean and present security in our routines. Trials and sorrows will pass, but Mother's cheerful labors will inspire us all.  Homemakers are the light of the home. They are the creators of delicate culture. Their gentle, loving influence reaches far and wide.
