Commitment to Loveliness
When I read Anna Marie’s ideas to cultivate loveliness in her home, I was inspired to join her. First, I decided to look up the definition in Webster’s 1828 Dictionary. Loveliness-Amiableness; qualities of body or mind that may excite love.
Who doesn’t want to encourage love? Here are the five things that I will do to bring loveliness to my body and mind this week:
- Make my bed in the morning, and have my children do the same. The rest of the house is picked up. Really. Well, usually.
- Finish my son’s mini scrapbook to celebrate the young man he is becoming.
- Go to bed by 11:00 p.m. after working on my Bible study of Daniel. I have been staying up too late and tired isn’t very lovely.
- Serve my husband his favorite dessert. That will excite love!
- Invite my neighbor over in spite of the messes that follow children.
Thanks to Charming the Birds from the Trees for this Commitment to Loveliness.
Oooh how *will* our families take all this loveliness?? hee hee Have a great day. Loving your blog. Really. It’s one of my faves, along with Dana’s.
Anna Marie,
Thank you for kind words! I really appreciate the encouragement. I have been working so hard but I think it will get easier. I have learned so much about the internet in a week. Sometimes my stubbornness really pays off. :)
