I guess because it’s end of the month, it seems like there is always so much to do! I have many things to do I call ‘maintenance’ then there is stuff that comes up. The biggest thing is I am on the committee to put on a conference for the missionaries here in Guatemala and I have procrastinated my part! Eeeek!!
So what is it that you have to do? Are you on time or behind? I can’t be the only procrastinsator! LOL!

I posted to a group I am on, we are ‘keepers of the home’. We are gladly taking on our responsibilities of being wives, moms, homemakers, and home schoolers. Here is a post I wrote today and ffigured I’d share here too.
- – -
I just felt like writing. I just finished a huge load of hand washing dishes! When I do this, I get so happy to get it done! Then, I feel a little bit empowered, and I think of you all because i know you all are doing the same thing, keeping the home.
I know what we do can be rewarding and can be tough, and so many things, but one fun thing it is to me, is empowering! I don’t always get this feeling but like today, i just feel ackomplished. I feel very good about keeping the home. The laundry being my fav, i love the warm, good smelling clothes! heehee hand washing dishes is NOT my fav but i have to do it so I need to find joy in it. God has blessed us with a double sided sink, with running water, and hot water at that. (these things are NOT common here in Guatemala). So with these, I have to find it in me to be belesed and do it, because I can (physically).
Today, I walk around the home and I have some mending done, food made ahead, things are in order or in some order, dishes clean, laundry being done, the kids and I play with play doh, we colored earlier, and I am also getting other things I like done (my t-shirt quilts, at least the tops).
I just really want to thank GOD for His blessings on me and my family. I know He is blessing you too. I pray for you all and know you have empowering days and discouraging days. Please stay ENcouraged in HIM. It’s important to bathe in Him, encourage our husbands and to teach our children.
I will keep this for myself too, when I loose focus and th focus is on eternity. Oh what a blessing.
Have a super day!!!
