DING!  I breathed a sigh of relief when I read Kimberly Hahn's words.  She wrote them in Graced and Gifted:  Biblical Wisdom for the Homemaker's Heart.  They are so clearly true that I was humbled and relieved to know that God had her write them based on her experience to enlighten me about my own experiences.  Time and place; date and town; He's in charge and has ordained our need for Him.  He has given us to each other for encouragement and correction.  What a blessing!

"Does God intend for us to complete every homemaking task every day?  No, it is not humanly possible.  If it is not possible, then it is not God's will for us.  Embracing the humility that comes from incomplete daily work is one of God's gifts to us through this calling.

Then, what do we do when we feel defeated?  We face our fears, failings and false notions about homemaking.  We look at our tasks from a fresh perspective."

I hope to humbly look at things from this fresh perspective.
