My desires

I have never had the desire to be the feistiest one of the bunch. I've never wanted to be the loud one or the extremely daring one. I would say my characteristics are similar to Beth, from the wonderful book Little Women. She was so warm and sweet and loving. She loved---home. She loved everything about home. She was quiet and helpful and kind and considerate. How much I desire to hold her level of class. Her quietude, her docile nature and she never blushed over loving her home. How beautiful to love home so much, that you never wish to leave it.

Keeping my little ones clean

As mothers of these dear little blessings, we find ourselves constantly CLEANING. Cleaning the kitchen, the bathroom, the little one, the dog, the floor, the toys, the dishes, the laundry and myself. Wow. These little blessings have no idea what goes into the most important job in the world. When I pen these tasks, its no wonder I am so tired so often and sometimes give myself a time out.

My little boy, he's so dirty all the time. Weather its dirt, food across the mouth, his room, his clothes or actually himself.
He's such a dear, sweet little boy. And I know all of his intentions are good in all things.

Maybe one day, it will all pay off. Right now, in the moment, I find myself wondering if im doing whats right. And in conclusion, ABSOLUTELY!!

What a privilege to say "Today, I cleaned house and made meals for my little ones. " Instead of feeling the hustle and bustle of the world. Truly, to be a woman. To wear the clothes, talk the talk and dream the dreams. How blessed we are as women, to have this role. To dignify our husbands, kiss our childrens boo-boo's and to love our God.

Thank you for the blessings Jah.
