I have spent part of the morning pondering the thoughts of the Puritans and being refreshed in my spirit. I have several things to do and need a cheerful perspective. I need to know that what I am called to do, God will equip me for the work set before me.
I want to stay home and sew and read stories to the children. I want to bake cookies and make a delicious home cooked supper. I want to tidy and clean and organize and set the table in a delightful way to bring joy and rainbows to all those who gather here.
But for today, this will not happen. Too many other things must be done. Yet, I will keep home in my heart and find a way to have peace, and minister to those I meet today. What would it be like if homekeepers were ambassadors of godly motherhood and home by our dress and demeanor?
It will be a lovely day. I will find joy in whatever I must do. I will cheer the hearts of those around me. But first I must listen to some soothing hymns, and read more of my Bible. I need the strength. All will be well.
