Raising children is the best way to find out one’s weaknesses. Perhaps you thought you were a fairly good citizen. You always thought of others when taking turns at the post office and you never took more than your portion of ice cream at the birthday party.

But having children seems to expose the lazy and selfish parts of ourselves. That’s why we need the help from others who’ve been there too and can help us navigate through the cultural sludge and learn to see our work as an act of worship. 

We truly can learn to love the work that must be done. I’m pleased to share with you my interview with my homemaking mentor Mystie Winkler. She recently released her spectacular book, Simplified Organization where she helps us understand that the work we have to do is truly good work and that we can learn to love it.

This interview and Mystie’s book wrap up our miniseries here on However Imperfectly about Routines That Bless.

You will see that Mystie has also needed to work on her habits to weave peace and blessing into her home and we are confident that you can do the same in yours. Enjoy!
