Thursday Pearls

Painting by Alfred Sisley

 

"The welcoming atmosphere we provide for our family and friends, 

the errands we run, the outings we plan, the care we provide in times of illness, 

 and the efforts we take to promote wellness - each of these daily actions and a thousand others, reveal in miniature an aspect of God's nature. 

The often tedious and mundane tasks of homemaking become acts of worship, 

our ordinary movements works of art...It's no insignificant calling, this ministry of homemaking...

My mother worked hard to create an atmosphere in our home that reflected God's beauty,

 His order, and His merciful, welcoming heart. 

In so doing, she gave our hearts a taste for heaven. 

That's what can happen when women devote themselves 

to their marriages and families and homes. 

That's the kind of impact we can generate when our lives 

reflect the importance and value of home."
