Bringing Beauty to the Home

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I really take pleasure in not only "running a household", but in making my house a home. A house is a place you store your stuff, make meals, do laundry, and sleep. A home is a haven, a respite, a place for rest and restoration. It should be our tiny little corner of the world we were know we will be loved and accepted. It should be an external glimpse into an internal reality. Not everyone feels homemaking is important,but I believe it's a worthy goal with eternal implications!
