To continue with the topic of serving our King, consider Titus 2:3-5 "Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be dishonored. "
This is another part of our job description and I came upon a helpful perspective fix at Holy Experience: Think Like A Server. Often I can find myself becoming complacent in my "working at home"... and this was a reminder to work diligently, as serving the Lord.
As the festivities get busier, may we all do our work - as to the Lord... not because Aunt Jane will check behind our toilet to see if it's clean, not because we want to receive praise for our gingerbread pie recipe, not even for our families... but as a service to our King. I suspect this will make the broom a little lighter, the days less stressful, and our joy... overflowing.
Blessings, my fellow homemakers, as you work for your King!

Marlene,
I think some of the problem is that we have a gnostic view of life..."spiritual good, physical evil". Having this type of perspective makes us think that the routine and mundane are not "important" and so we despise the very thing for which we were made...to glorify God in all that we do. To live out the life that the Lord created.
Thank you for encouraging me in the way.
Blessings,
Karen
