How to Have Gratitude – Being Grateful
Daily Morning Habits to Improve Our Lives
Elisabeth Elliot
“The way you keep your house, the way you organize your time, the care you take in your personal appearance, the things you spend your money on, all speak loudly about what you believe. The beauty of thy peace shines forth in an ordered life. A disordered life speaks loudly of disorder in the soul.”
“If our calling is to be mothers, let’s be mothers with all our hearts—gladly, simply, and humbly.”
“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.”

Sally Clarkson
“Home is the kingdom in which we have the daily choice and power to make our tiny domain one of light or darkness.”

“Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.”
“The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely.”
“Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault.”

Various Authors – Homemaker quotes
“What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow.” – Martin Luther
“Time is never wasted when you use it to create a better environment for your family and for others. Home is a place where busyness is proper, called for, and desperately needed. Don’t neglect to busy yourself with your homemaking.” – Elizabeth George
“There needs to be a homemaker exercising some measure of skill, imagination, creativity, desire to fulfill needs and give pleasure to others in the family. How precious a thing is the human family. Is it not worth some sacrifice in time, energy, safety, discomfort, work? Does anything come forth without work?” – Edith Schaeffer
“Keeping a home not only requires time, energy, and creativity, but it also calls for skills and experience. I believe homemaking is an art, and to pursue any piece of art demands time and talent.” – Dorothy Kelley Patterson
“Home is the place where habits are formed home is the place where the foundations of character are laid— home gives the bias to our tastes, likings, and opinions. See then, I pray you, that there be careful training at home.” – J.C. Ryle
I believe that a godly home is a foretaste of heaven. Our homes, imperfect as they are, must be a haven from the chaos outside. They should be a reflection of our eternal home, where troubled souls find peace, weary hearts find rest, hungry bodies find refreshment, lonely pilgrims find communion, and wounded spirits find compassion.” – Jani Ortlund
“I can use the house to create a home. I can offer my family, my friends, myself, and even strangers the gift of love by making them feel special when they are in my home.” – Sarah Mae
“Homemaking is surely in reality the most important work in the world” – C.S. Lewis
