Preparations for Homekeeping

In the early morning hours, I sit in a dim room thinking about the day. I often read, sip on tea or listen to some quiet music. It is a lovely time to prepare for my homekeeping work.

I have so much to worry and fret about, but I won't indulge in such emotions.  I refuse to give up or give-in to trouble.

I will bake some bread to go with tonight's supper.

I will do laundry, sweep, scrub, and clean the kitchen throughout the day.

I will bake apple cinnamon muffins for the children's snack.

I will listen to a sermon by Charles Stanley about Motherhood.

And then, whenever I can spare a few moments, I will sit in a dimly lit room and think pleasant thoughts about good literature, sermons, classical music, tea time and other inspiring ideas.  This will prepare me for the evening duties.

Refusing to worry about the myriad trials I have each day, will help keep things running smoothly for everyone around me. . .  And if I get a little sad, I will read some "peanuts" comic books .


Blessings
