“Do you see that by serving the people of your home, by building relationships with them, you are participating in God’s cosmic plan to love his creation through your efforts? This turns the cultural tension of children being the focal point of the home on its head. We can’t separate the two from each other. Laundry is for people to wear. Food is for people to be nourished. Clean floors are for people to crawl around on. Dishes are for people to eat off. The people and the physical work of the home are not in competition. They are two sides of the same coin. Sometimes one aspect of the work gets more attention than the other, but they go together. The physical work of the home exists for the physical people in the home.”

“You will know you are finally free from sin when you have full access to it and yet no desire for it.”
