you tell them

Good day Bloggets. Well it’s Friday. So another week has passed and I am sure a lot of you have had so many thoughts this week and I bet there are a lot of you who have really had pain, anxiety, shock and extreme delight and happiness. There may be others who have done nothing different since last week at this time, but the world around you is changing all of the time, so you may feel forgotten, but you can’t be as you are a part of this forever changing path we all have to walk on.

 

I know there are many who have not put one foot out of the door since seven days ago, and I know of people who made that first step. But on the scale of life, we are all in it together and all equally as important. I know someone said to me through the week that they wished they could go out and earn, make the family proud and they said they wanted to feel like they have done something to contribute to the family. They said and I quote

 “I don’t go out to work. I cook for the children coming home and I do the housework.”

 So that made them feel useless? If only they could believe that when the children are coming home they have that safe feeling of comfort. The feeling that the familiar face is going to be there at the door waiting for them. In their house where they feel secure. There is going to be a meal cooked for them. The house looks clean and it has an ambiance of belonging. That child or those children all day at school know they are coming home to that very important person. The person who makes the beds comfortable. The person who straightens the cushions on the sofa. The person who keeps the house warm in winter and cool in summer. The person who has arranged the flowers in the vase to make the house look lovely. The person who makes the house a home. That important person who’s cooking can be smelled as the children get off the bus and the Husband, wife or parents can be happy as they smell the cooking as they come down the garden path.

 

Don’t they realise that every family and every house has a heart and to keep that heart beating, someone has to work it. Like a ship, it needs a captain. Without that person who stays in the house, there can be no home!

 

I understand the feeling of being hopeless and useless as you can be thought of as a nobody if you are not out there in the workplace. But I think that is because we are thought of as less intelligent. And how can we be? We are teachers, nurses, Psychologists, child minders, cleaners, cooks, home economists, home engineers and secretaries.

 

So if you say you feel like you are in the way or if anyone asks do you have a job? Tell them you are a home maker. A life changer, a comforter and protector.

Happy Friday important Bloggets.
