Taking care of the home is very important. It is a huge task and if left undone, well…everything falls apart. Our responsibility is to be a Keeper of our Homes. Sometimes, we are not sure how to do that. Sometimes {many times} we are overwhelmed with all that is going on and coming at us. Our attention is pulled in so many directions. We have to be intentional as Keepers of our Homes.
Taming the Clutter
This is an area that has been hard for me the last 2 years. Our family went through a major trial and we were in survival mode. As a result, clutter gathered and life was not as we had known it. We are in the process of moving from surviving to thriving, but it takes time to heal and regroup.

Feeding our Families
We have to do this three times a day and then there are snacks. It is so much easier to go through the drive thru and have junk. And there are times and seasons when that is all you can do. And that is okay. I have been there. But our goal needs to be to feed our families healthy food. And when you have challenges, it is nice to have excellent resources to fall back on.

Caring for Ourselves
We often feel guilty for taking time for ourselves…staying fit, eating healthy, having quiet time, pampering ourselves. But if we do not take time to take care of us, then we will not be able to be the Keepers of the Home that we need to be. And everyone will suffer.
