Thoughts on Feminine Diligence...



Upon doing some summer reading in my latest
book "Womanly Dominion" I was inspired
by these true words by Mr.Chanski.....

"We must aggressively subdue and not passively loiter.... ....Basking in the satisfaction of a job well done, restfully praising the Lord for the work He's enabled our hands to do. The completed projects act as gratifying and comfortable footstools for our feet. We are able to say..... "That week of work was good, very good." (Genesis 1:31)

Whilst cleaning rooms yesterday, I was
thinking about the importance of doing
every chore, task, and duty with great
dignity, strength and neatness...
Cleaning bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms
ironing shirts, drying dishes and folding clothes
should not be tasks we are trying
to get done quickly, sloppily or in a rush.
Rather think of each chore with delight...
think of yourself as a CEO of your home,
the President in residence of homemaking.
Create a presence of warmth, tidyness and
cleanliness in your home,
so... that others will feel welcome and
calmed when they enter your living quarters.

Whether you are in an apartment, condo,
cottage, farm house or exotic mansion,
you have the ability to create a clean
atmosphere .... sending a message to
your visitors that calms their soul,
and makes their hearts sing with
thankfulness.... And that, my dear, is
indeed a completed job well done.

I salute you dear Homemaking
Executives. Dominate and subdue
your living space with strength and dignity!!!
Be women who are exercising
~ true Feminine Diligence!!!

"The plans of the
diligent lead to profit
as surely as haste leads to poverty."
-Proverbs 21:5


Many Blessings to all of you!!
