Hearts for Home – One Day Late Edition

A little late, but here’s my Hearts for Home list for this week:

In today’s busy and aggressive society mothers at home are not given much encouragement to be committed to their role in being home.

In my weekly ‘Hearts for Home’ post I am encouraging myself and others to commit to thinking about what 4-6 things we can do each week to bring our thoughts, prayers and actions to keeping our ‘Hearts for Home’.

I am praying that a spirit of gentleness, generosity in thoughts and time along with loveliness and grace would lead us to be all that God wants us to be.

I pray also that each person involved in ‘Hearts for Home’ would also pray for any others involved as well.

May you be blessed by this initiative. I pray it brings you and your family many blessings.

So each week list 4-6 things you will commit to that will keep your “Hearts for Home’.

1. Let Greg decompress when he comes home from work before launching into anything negative that happened during the day.
2. Keep making sure the dishes are done (or at least, off the counters and table) before Greg comes home.
3. Read more about my beautiful vocation as wife and mother (like Mulieris Dignitatem – on the Dignity of Women)
4. Curtail use of the Internet, including a weekly Internet fast for special intentions and those in need of prayer.
5. Stay faithful to the Divine Office. I’m using Jen’s experiment as inspiration.
