The beauty of a home

Abigail has a wonderful post about seeing the fruits that have come of her dedication to homemaking, and having a house full of kids. I can relate to so much of this, especially when she writes:

I grew up in a world where I always worried about being a "bother" as a child...When I committed to becoming open to life, I worried about "inflicting" too many needy grandchildren on my parents and too many messy nieces and nephews on my two siblings. I'm so please to witness first hand what grace, ease and wonder my children add to our family gatherings.

My thoughts exactly.
