Heart of Hearts

Good morning world!  Have you ever had one of those feelings that all was going to be fine?  That is how I feel this morning.  It is good. Heard a sermon yesterday that would not be very popular in today's world.  In fact, it would probably top the submissive sermon.  I heard a preacher talk about in a biblical marriage the wife is a stay at home mom and the husband is the bread winner and takes care of the family.  Like I said, in today's upside down, what is wrong is right world, that is not a popular concept. 

I have always been told I could do what ever I wanted to do.  What did I want to do in my heart of hearts?  Be a housewife and mother.  But growing up in the 70's, that was not a popular idea either.  I have had both worlds.  I have worked 50 to 60 hours a week, lived in the suburbs, had the two incomes, took care of the house, and made the meals. Spent Saturdays deep cleaning the house, doing a mountain of laundry, and going grocery shopping.  All for what? 

Now I am a stay at home homeschooling mom. We live off of one income. I am frugal.  I garden, can what we grow, make what I can (laundry soap, etc.), use solar dryer (the clothes line) when the weather allows, and more.  I would not trade my life for the life I had in the suburbs for anything.  Some love it and I am happy for them.  This is my life and God is good.

Have a most wonderful Monday!

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Just some of my thoughts and actions,

Elizabeth
