What if You Lived in a Garage?

Well, we had our baby girl on Monday, so I probably won't be posting much (she is healthy & beautiful, by the way, & weighed in at more than 9 pounds!) I just wanted to share this inspiring post with you about a family who lives in a garage. It is constantly a goal of mine to get rid of stuff we don't need, & a constant struggle as well-meaning people pass on things to us which clutter up our home if it's something we don't really need. I hope this will inspire you to weed out the things that may be cluttering up your life & home...

What a beautiful site!!!!!! I love it that you have such wonderful, edifying music on this site as well--when so many do emotional, angry music.
God's blessings to this wonderful site!!!!

“Every one must have remarked how pleasant is that household in which a cheerful spirit of energy is cultivated by the mistress and mother. It is a pleasant thing to dwell with one who is not troubled by trifling annoyances, who is skilled in looking at the bright side of things, and hoping for the best; with one who believes that all the ways of the Lord are right, and who attaches a deep importance to duty. Such a one will work willingly, in the belief that God has appointed both her lot and her duties, and it is surprising how many obstacles are met and overcome by such a spirit.”

1 Timothy 4:7-11

Thank God, O women for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen in it. Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there, beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it.

Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled.

~ T. DeWitt Talmage

I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him.
