How I've Made My Living
"And then she realized she was replaceable in every area of her life, except her home." (J. Benfield) I just had my 59th birthday and it's given me some time to reflect on the years past. Have I given life my all? Have I contributed enough? Should I have done more? Then I look back to the 31 years I've been a homemaker, mom, wife, homeschooling teacher, accountant, cook, cleaner, driver, wardrobe coordinator, deadline keeper, dog walker, mother-in-law and now a Millie to all my babies and I see a life well lived. I see a life of sacrifice. I didn't earn my living in dollars; I earned my living in love and service to this amazing life that God has gifted me with. And I would do it all again. I don't know what the future holds or where God will use me over the next 20 years, but wherever that may be, I'll never regret one moment of the ones I spent taking care of house and home.
