We hosted Thanksgiving this year. Typically I stress out about hosting. Thankfully this year was different. I started praying for a peaceful heart several days in advance. I prayed over my menu. I prayed over my housekeeping plan. I hired my kids at $5 an hour to help with little projects that were out of the ordinary, like vacuuming the stairs, washing cabinets, and dusting baseboards. It ended up that I only needed one man hour. I had a great plan, and started the Monday before Thanksgiving, each day after lessons. By Thursday, only a few things had to be done. And the day went pretty well, too!
I'm so glad you had a peaceful Thanksgiving with family. Those are some lucky kids too!!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I love how you tackled hosting so carefully and thoughtfully and prayerfully and how you described it. You are such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI tend to stress with events like this, too! I loved your heart praying over the details from the menu to the chores, etc.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day.
