The Heart of the Home
The Heart of the Home seeks to equip women as they study God's Word
and encourage them to treasure God with all of their heart
(Matt 6:19-21), and guard their heart (Prov. 4:23),
by recognizing that they are the heart of the home.

I am in for a treat today. DH and DS left for a fishing trip this morning. It will be DS's first. He is so very excited. There was a bit of a tug at my heart when 'my boys' pulled out of the driveway. However I know this is good for them and it is definitely good for me. I will miss them no doubt. But this is a good time for them to build some memories together.
So what am I going to do, you ask? What every woman wants to do on her day alone. Clean house! Actually things have been so busy lately the house has only gotten superficial cleaning if that. So though sitting on the couch eating bons bons appeals, I will be cleaning house. I actually enjoy watching my house take on the shape of something when it becomes less cluttered and more clean. This will actually be an enjoyable day, as much as it can be cleaning. I can put whatever I want on the radio and sing as loud as I want. See, I don't have the gift of a lovely voice so DS begs me not to sing (see # 17), when he is around. I love to sing but rarely get the opportunity without watching the pained look on my son's face.
I will join my boys tomorrow for a family get together. A sort of "Thanksgiving" before Thanksgiving. Since DH will be gone for that this year his family will celebrate early. But for today Mommy will play. Don't worry. I plan to have the house finished in short order. I have my own treat. Popcorn and 'Sense and Sensibiliity' waiting for me on the other side of housework. Sigh.
Well I had better get on with my day. I am already enjoying listening to music and singing to myself while I type. I hope each of you has a wonderful day and a blessed holiday weekend.

Oooo! Enjoy your special day!
One of the many benefits of cleaning house on a free day (as opposed to my usual treat-- shopping!), is that it is the gift that keeps on giving. Tomorrow and the whole week will be better for you just knowing that your house is clean. Ahhh... talk about relaxing!
My house was SPOTLESS and deep cleaned last week right before my sisters came to visit. They stayed for 4 days, then my in-law's came the next day, and since then we have had 2-4 extra guests staying with us for the past several days.
That combined with today's necessity to begin packing for our move, makes for a dirty house, dirty floor, empty fridge and lots of dirty dishes.
Okay, quit reading my stressful comment and GO ENJOY YOURSELF!
Love,
Marsha
