We don't have to measure up: LAF post

Anna at LAF had an excellent post today.  I just stumbled across this blog recently and fell in love with it.  Their motto is "Promoting beautiful womanhood," and I couldn't agree with it more.  Womanhood and motherhood are beautiful things, as is homemaking, and the ways in which God has created us uniquely as women are truly wonderful--full of wonder.   We're different from men, and that's His perfect plan.  Let's celebrate it.

Anna's post is called "Don't have to measure up."  She writes about the way homemakers feel we need to justify ourselves and what we do all day at home with our children.  (And in our defense, can you blame us?  Who of us hasn't been asked "so what exactly do you do all day?").  But that means we end up trying to cram as much as possible into our days when our homes should be havens of peace. 

Here's my favorite quote:  "We should be proud, not ashamed, of keeping an island of peacefulness in the midst of the world’s rush, rush, rushing to nowhere." 

Is your home an "island of peacefulness?"  I want peace to characterize my home.
