Homemaking

I came across an article this morning from a blog that I subscribe to. It was such a neat write up on homemaking. 

It scratched the surface on the tasks that homemakers do, and what they would get paid, had they received income. 

With categories like private chef, house cleaner, child care, driver, and laundry service, the broken down total came out to $96,261 per year. 

The writer ended with this:

"The bottom line is this:  Only God can place a real value on homemaking.  Proverbs 31 makes that infinitely clear.  A Christ-honoring homemaker who is industrious and is about the business of serving her King is worth far more than money can buy.  Her worth is far above rubies.  She is working to build Christ’s Kingdom!  When done unto the Lord, wiping noses, cleaning up spilled milk, and speaking wisdom into the lives of children is the kind of work that lasts forever and ever.  That is one thing the world will never understand, try as they might; you just can’t place a dollar value on something as noble and beautiful as homemaking."

I thought that was beautiful. It makes me feel like I have so much purpose. I am getting eager to raise my baby, along with my husband, in the way it should go.
