A Humble Hermitage

So cherished a home, a humble hermitage, a sanctuary from the troubles of the world.  Is there a more precious place this side of heaven?  I dare say not. 

Our homes are entrusted to us by our Heavenly Father to care for and to nurture and bless all who enter.  Homemaking is a high calling, once chosen, can be both challenging and fulfilling.  It is a path of patience, hard work, quietness, and joy.  What could be seen as drudgery by some can also be seen as an offering of gentle work by others ~ a choice to find quiet beauty in ordinary days. 

The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.   Numbers 6:24-26
