Life is good here at the Peterson Homestead. Pretty much same as always, which is fine with me = ) I enjoy my daily activities of running the household...even the so-called mundane ones...I think I might like those the best, actually.
There's a comfort in knowing what I'm going to do, how I'm going to do it, when, where, even why... then taking satisfaction in a job well-done knowing that because I did this little job, Petey or my furry babies will be happier and more comfortable.
I've long felt that work is a gift from God. I love the verse, Colossians 3:23 & 24 --- "Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve." The reward just might be the WORK and taking pleasure in it!
Maybe that's why I enjoy cooking from scratch so much. It IS more work but it's rewarding work...and not just the taste of the yummy food = ) It's another opportunity to be creative...
Like a painter choosing colors, a little bit of blue, a little white, a touch of red...then a swipe just there, in the sky...to add a lovely hint of lavender to a glorious sunset.
I believe my efforts in the kitchen bring glory to God because it is work that He has given me to do and I do it joyfully, not working for men but for Him!
