Status Updates From The Hidden Art of Homemaking

“To chip away at marble and turn it into a marvelous piece of sculpture, takes work, constant and patient. To ‘sculpt’ a life, in the midst of life itself, takes more work, is for longer periods of time, and needs far more patience.“

“Nothing can be done in a course of study which can substitute for the day to day observation on the part of children in the home of a mother and father who treat humans as human and not machines.”

“A child won’t notice is a very bad and untrue phrase to admit into your mind. A child will be affected by originality and beauty and creativity. And a child in a Christian home should connect being in communication with the creator God with having been created in His image…it should be enhanced because of being brought up in a Christian home and not in spite of it.”

Loved the idea that as we live our lives this way it can also inspire others to use their gifts and talents in their unique landscape as well.

“We were given choice so that love could have meaning.”

Absolutely extraordinary. Did not anticipate the start of this.
