I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

 

Mary has chosen the good portion - I desire to choose the good portion: @mferrell

We are already nearing Christmas Eve and plans that I had to bake or buy or clean hasn’t all been finished.  There are gifts I wanted to purchase or send that didn’t happen.  There are cookies I wanted to bake that I didn’t get to and areas I wanted to tidy at home that I didn’t even get close to doing. But I want to share with you today reminders that I’m talking to myself about what I am choosing. I’m hoping to help us keep our focus on the main thing this Christmas season.

Show Notes:

You can read the full podcast here, but my hope is you will sit with me for just a few minutes of your day and listen to the podcast and let me pour into you a bit.

Welcome to Thankful Homemaker

So thankful you’ve stopped by for a visit. Please grab a cup of coffee or tea and sit a bit. I hope to remind you that contentment in our role as homemakers begins with finding our satisfaction in Christ.
