31 Days to Clean: Day 2: Created to Give Life

      God created me, as I woman, to give life.  Well, what does that that.  Obviously, the first thing was to actually give birth to my children; I fed them and took care of them.  But giving "life" to means so much more.  It means encougarigng them, listening to them, helping them with their homework, even discipling them.  With husband it means giving him a clean,comfortable refuge to come home to after a long day, having a good supper on the table and NOT bombarding him with petty stuff.


Mary's Challenging:What can I do to renew life to my home?

• Keep it clean
• Make sure kid's do chores
• Stay on top of laundry
• Have all kids' problems resolved by the time the good, good Daddy gets home
• Plan out and stick to menus
• LEARN TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT
• Give Barrett a chance to relax when he get home
• Prayer over my home as I go about my day

Martha's Challenge ~  Today, we were suppose to clean out the fridge.  I did this Tuesday.  We're having company this afternoon, so I actually need to do a quick tidy of the main parts of the house

31 Days to Clean: Day 1 ~ Why I clean

  Thank so much to my friend Ella who helped me get a copy of Sarah Mae's book; 31 Days to Clean: Having a Martha House the Mary Way.


Day 1 - Why I Clean


Mary's Challenge - What are the reasons I want to make my home a haven?  Create a mission statement.  
             ~ I want my home to be a safe, calm and relaxing where Barret and my Little People can come after they been out in the world.  I want everyone who comes into our world to first and foremost feel the presence of God here.  I want my home to be reasonably clean and comfortable.


The Mission Statement:
     ~ I vow to do my best - with God's help - to create a nice, peaceful home for Barret and my little people;  to keep the house clean, health food on the table, the laundry done up and calm, peaceful attitude.
