Amber's Homemaking Poem
Sacred + holy is the
ground of homemaking
In all its colors + forms
Intentionality + creativity
Used to create spaces
That are safe + warm
Dishes to wash
Floors to be swept
All the chores can feel mundane
But rest assured
In the Kingdom of God
None of your work is in vain
Through the windows of home
We see glimpses of heaven
A foretaste of what is to come
Rest for the weary
Peace for the hurting
Joy…and a place to belong
As we tend to the chores
Tend to the gardens
Or tend to delicate hearts
We are building
Into a legacy
That bids us to come take part
As you gather 'round your table
Bellies are nourished
And so are precious souls
Sanctification, growth
AND failure
It all happens within these walls
With each whispered prayer
Every hug shared
And every single load of washed clothes
With every held hand
And every meal prepared
A wise woman builds up her home
Sacred + holy is the
ground of homemaking
In all its colors + forms
A high + valuable calling
A precious gift from the Lord
