Homemakers Homework

This weekend's homework involves recognizing your uniquenesses. Take some time today or this weekend to make a list of the uniquenesses you currently have in life. A uniqueness can pertain to yourself, your marriage, your family, your income, your home or just about anything else. To get you thinking, uniquenesses might include:

• having an unemployed spouse
• not living near any other family members
• having a sick or emotionally-challenged child
• owning your own business
  
• living with your parents or in-laws
  
• having a spouse who travels
• having little finances or unstable finances
• working outside the home
• dealing with a broken family
  
• having your hands full with lots of little ones
• taking care of an elderly parent or grandparent
• being physically impaired.
  
  

This weekend, make a list of the uniquenesses you are dealing with currently in life. Study them, pray through them and ask God to help you view them as uniquenesses rather than burdens or challenges. Ask Him to help you embrace your uniquenesses. You, and your family, will be better off for it!
