I was just reading a blog of a mother of 8 who homeschools. She'd been reading things from Sandra Felton of Messies Anonymous. It was giving her great guilt, because she had trouble with just the first "Four Sturdy Legs of the Organizing Chair."
While Sandra Felton and Messies Anonymous have made an impact on my life, I have such mercy in my heart for this poor mom. I understand what she is wrestling with, that ugly guilt monster.
But she has 8 kids and is very pregnant.
I've decided I prefer what Michele Duggar had to say in her address at the Hearts at Home Conference I attended. (It was something like this.)I should not demand my rights. No one says I have the right to a clean house. If one room in my house is clean, let's be thankful to God for that one clean room.
And so, while I hope the Lord helps me to become a better manager and steward, I say to all the mothers fighting the guilt monster: grace and peace to you.
