Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet

I know I've written about this before but I'm going to do it once more. Apart from my blogger friends, I don't know a single woman who loves being at home. And those I know who are at home are doing it either because they have small children and feel it is important to spend more time with them, or because they are unemployed. There might be other reasons but they all agree in saying that they would prefer doing some kind of paid work because they want to have their money and/or because they need to feel fulfilled. They need to know that they are doing something useful.

I don't want to say that all women should be at home. I do think it would be better for most women but I'm not entering that discussion. I just want to tell those women who are at home for some reason that it is possible to be happy and fulfilled at home. I've been through all experiences: I've worked outside the home, I've worked from home and have been paid for doing it and now I'm a happy and fulfilled full-time wife, mother and homemaker. I don't feel the need to earn «my» money because though we have to live more frugally than other families, we have more than enough and we trust in God's provision. And as for the fulfillment, there is nothing more rewarding than caring for your loved ones, for your home sweet home, and being available to help those who might need you.

I'm so grateful for this opportunity that God gives me every day to serve my family.
