Being a homemaker is a place of honor and plain hard work. The ability to keep a household in order and running smoothly takes true effort and dedication.
If one were to list the job requirements needed, they would range from the following:
- Mostly organized
- A multitasker
- A planner aheader
- Doesn't mind normal cleaning
- Gives effort to cook and try new recipes
- Willingness to use a plunger
- Willingness to laugh at failed first attempts (i.e. hahahaha!)
- Zeal to put forth some elbow grease
- No fear in scrubbing up any mess
- Graciously hospitable (yes, being a homemaker can reach outside the inhabitants of your home. BUT, first and foremost, family comes first to a homemaker.)
- Super power of being in two rooms at once
- Arm reach to wash dishes and do the laundry while balancing a new recipe on your nose to memorize
- A full vocabulary and definition on every natural house cleaner known to mankind
- Ability to wish dust away...
Ok, so those last few don't apply. Sadly.
When it comes to being a true homemaker, there is no such thing as me, myself, and I. Being a homemaker requires something we need to practice more of, being selfless. This position is one that focuses on valuing other's needs before our own. It is a daily act of selfless love and selfless concern.
Being a homemaker doesn't mean that the house always has to be pristine and or that the meals always have to be made from scratch, it simply can be defined as lovingly turning a house into a home.
SO! Gather up that gusto! Let's start this motor up for a homemaking revolution!
...in the morning that is...it's time for bed. *smile*
