How to Be Truly Satisfied as a Homemaker (No Pinterest-Perfect Home Required)


Written by

In today’s idea-rich online world, it’s easy to get a hankering for a life and home that are “just-so.”

And I recognize that this can be a blessing to others, a reflection of God’s beauty, and a tool He will use for His glory, as it’s offered to Him whole-heartedly.

For this world in its present form is passing away.” 1 Corinthians 7:28-31

    Great reminder about being caught in a trap of materialism through expectations, I know that I’m addicted to looking at those perfectly decorated homes on Pinterest, and it definitely shows my discontent for what I have. Thank you for opening my eyes.
