The house was never perfectly clean (unless it was my day off and they were in school!). That was when I started praying for the Lord to help me find a way to be home full-time.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726796954968328204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635761.post-68690920701123108532008-10-06T23:34:00.000-05:002008-10-06T23:34:00.000-05:00"Love lives in our home, and that tidies it up mor..."Love lives in our home, and that tidies it up more than any decluttering or scrubbing ever could.

I have not been this person before. Although, we just bought a house and my desire is to become more like this Titus woman. Although, I may not "get" it right away I know I will eventually.

I try to keep things picked up...and it is so much easier now that we don't have so much running to do with school activities. I do miss this too. <BR/>My house is staying clean of course there is no one home but me through the week. So, this makes it easy...but so boring.

Loved your thoughts on caring, watching and loving your home.
