A Homemaker's Heart: Creating Peace in Small Ways

 
"She looks well to the ways of her household." - Proverbs 31:27

Thursdays always feel like the quiet slide toward the weekend, and today I find myself noticing the house more than usual. Working from home means I see every pile. Every dish. Every corner that needs attention. However, instead of tackling everything, I focus on creating small pockets of peace. I like to call this putting out hotspots. 

Turning on my wax warmer. Clearing one surface. Turning on the Tunes while I wrap up work tasks. These small things help anchor us. Especially with the family in a season of transition - Ryan with his new job. Mackenzie stepping into travel training. And, last but certainly not least - Mads navigating what remains of her gap year. 

Homemaking is spiritual work. It may not be glamourous, but it's holy. 

What is one small act that could bring more peace into your home today?
