Much like "practicing the presence of God" I advocate loving my life as a homemaker and doing it with a diligence that frees me up for freedom at His feet. I have had few who understood or related as most I know can't see pleasure in serving, only in playing. I am delighted that my eldest daughter is taking such a delight in homemaking. She sipped at the world's table in college (did I mention a "Christian" college) and found disdain for homemaking and adulation for advanced degrees. I have sipped at both tables and homemaking is my cup of tea (and takes much more work and planning).

Neither my husband nor I came from a loving/nurturing home . . . but God led us to create one and we have been so blessed. Romance should be a part of EVERY day in every life. Forget Hollywood's ideas of romance . . . God's are infinitely better. : D<br><br>Oh, I've babbled . . .
