When your passion becomes your work, it really isn’t work. It’s ART.
You become an artisan – in whatever you have undertaken,
your career, vocation or life’s work.
We Mothers and Keepers of the Home are artisans.
When it becomes more than just a duty to us, but a passion,
it can become a very beautiful work of art, each and every day.
Of course, it is a choice. No artist can produce a beautiful work of art, a painting, drawing or building, if the passion is not there.
Mothers produce children in partnership with God, and undoutedly the most beautiful and unique artwork ever created.
(Note to oneself: The next 18 years or so keeps the artisan very busy completing the task.)
Homemakers cook delicious and even beautiful meals, sometimes serving them on special dinnerware, turning this task into a work of ART out of love . If they love their home and the family that lives there, they want to keep it clean and welcoming, so passion and purpose can turn these little tasks into even more gifts of love.
Decorating and re-arranging become ART when the attitude becomes more than
“Well, if I must.” With a little flair and even a shoe-string budget, rooms can be re-decorated by moving things from one room to another, one wall to another.
Curtains and decorations stashed in closets can come down and come alive again.
Those with a green thumb and even a small garden or back deck can create and bring to life the beauty of nature. This is also ART. Sharing the beauty of it is priceless.
Your life is your canvas. If you love what you are doing, it comes alive.
Your passion becomes your art.
So, get to work. God is waiting.
