The Meaning of Home

Years before ever getting married, having babies and being a full time homemaker, I *knew* that was all I wanted to do.  Skip college; stay-at-home-mom-life full speed ahead! It was a life-long dream, my heart's desire... a longing.

A few years ago I stumbled upon the book, "Keeping Place: Reflections on the Meaning of Home," by Jen Pollock Michel.  After God's Word, I return to her book over and over when my mindset towards home feels "off."

Join me and listen in to today's conversation as we talk about:

• Where your longing for home comes from...
  
• What it is that creates dissatisfaction with the modern "husband who works long hours and the isolated-at-home life..."
• What home life used to be, generations ago...
• How modern time saving devices actually drain a housewife's satisfaction, rather than adding to it...
• Learn what is the most satisfying and creative about household tasks...
• The best place to find and create social connection...
• and more...

Resources mentioned:

• Keeping Place: Reflections on the Meaning of Home (book)
• "Just a Housewife" (book)
• The Measure of Success: Uncovering the Biblical Perspective on Women, Work, and the Home (book)
