Staples Within Our Homes
So many homes are just so empty anymore!
Sometimes it is the absence of the people;
Mothers
Fathers
Children
Other times it is an atmosphere;
I have been in homes where the television is on all the time
Or a lonely dog barking in a back yard.
But that is not what we are to be hearing from a home.
But rather conversation and laughter!
The world seems empty now days!
I think we are missing the main things, the real staples of a home.
We now even have Doggie Day Care
Why? Because even those little dogs are missing having a person at home.
All the little children are in Day Care all year round!
Mothers work outside the home!
Some have to, but others by choice.
Fathers are working as they should, but some are gone from the family!
They just can't take the pressure at home, or will not take
Their God given role and responsibilities!
We have more spacious homes in size and expense then ever,
But no one is home...
What has happened to our homes?
Why is it that being anywhere else is better than being home?
Always on the run!!
I believe we have lost so much from the very fact no one stays home!
Truly, why is the bigger and better syndrome being allowed
To take all the sweet precious memories from our children and grandchildren?
Giving stability and a good home cooked meal is more valuable than
Before another school year starts or this summer is but history,
Get the family together and talk about what is important!
The family nucleus is dissolving as I write;
Make your home a place where the heart can grow and blossom!
We all know we must have the basic staples to do most things;
Cooking
Creating
Growing
Hugs And Prayer
Why then do we think the family can survive without what a home needs ?
I will tell you this when I look back into my memories as a child,
Those that were about camping trips and swimming with my family are the ones that I remember.
And it is the daily activities that surrounded my home life,
Breakfast
Walking home for lunch, as my Mother was home.
Playing outside till Mother called us in!
Dinners of home cooked simple meals!
Prayer while Mother listened to us!
Being tucked in a cozy bed at a normal bedtime!
Our Fathers worked and was carrying the full weight of his family!
You had to ask his permission before you had the full okay to do most everything!
Someone was in charge!!
P.S.
I have taken off my comments as I think we are all so busy to even leave comments.
I do hope you will continue to read my heart, thoughts about what a home keeper
Many of you still have my Email!
Just think of all the amazing things you can do with the staples God has given you!
Always, And With HIS Love,
