I have been working on making life simpler for my family. I want less pressure. I want less stress. The only way I can do this is if I have very few obligations.
I need time for unhurried family life.
I need to have all the time in the world to hear stories and ideas from my growing children.
I need to be found in the same old places by my children - the kitchen or parlour. I want them to have that security of knowing where to find me.
I need to be able to cook and bake and serve my family without fear of deadlines.
I want peace and happiness that comes from a surrendered Christian witness.
The greatest thing I can do, is to simply be a wife and mother here at home.
Blessings

Thank you for the beautiful and simple post. It warms my heart and gives me the clarity I need today.

Wonderful! I hope my children look back and say I was there when they needed me.
Love this post! In the past I was always cumbered about with much service at church and home. I had to cut some things that I thought were good out my life because I realized they were taking me from my family and responsibilities at home. I love my simpler life now and can see the blessings of having it this way now :) Keep it up!!! You will not regret it!
Yearning for simplicity here, too.

One of my favorite linkups, such great things to learn!
Could not have said it better. Absolutely perfect and agree 100%.
I can't believe I had not seen your blog before. Found you through my bloggy friend and sister in Christ, Michelle, from Medieval Christian Mama. I look forward to more visits.
Blessings.
