Domestication

Chores...chores...chores...Everyday you wake up to cook. You do some homeschooling. You clean up the dining area. When you go to the bathroom you find out that the kids just messed it up or that one of the bathroom faucets are open. I can go on and on...

Sometimes domestic life can be overwhelming but it does keep you humble. It keeps you in touch with your Creator. It grounds you to your humanity. No matter how great your achievement are, you are still an ordinary, frail human.

I thank God for everyday of simple domestic work.
