I find it an interesting commentary on something, that in my first blog adventure--filling out the blogger profile, that my occupation/industry as Homemaker was not an option to choose from. The only industy starting with an H is Human Resources. It is close, I suppose.
I think I am very sheltered from the experience of finding my "industry" overlooked. My work at home and as a stay at home is validated by most in "my world." There is no time to be "put out" about such an omission, just time to smile to myself, silently challenge the assumptions that might have been behind the choice to list only one occupation beginning with an "H", and move right on to gratitude for my husband, my extended family and my church family who validate my choice to stay home.
Thanks, God, for those in my world who esteem my choice, and who prayerfully support me in this terryifying venture of parenting!

Im glad that you valued your family. That's a blessing that many people missed. Being a mother is perhaps the most challenging role in the family, but I also believe it's the most rewarding one. Most, if not all, of the great leaders of this world have simple and great mothers too.
I confess, the best moments of my life was spent in the arms of a woman--she's my mother.
