Gae from Cherished Hearts for Home hosts this weekly meme.
In today’s busy and aggressive society mothers at home are not given much encouragement to be committed to their role in being home.
In my weekly 'Hearts for Home' post I am encouraging myself and others to commit to thinking about what 4-6 things we can do each week to bring our thoughts, prayers and actions to keeping our 'Hearts for Home'.
1) To clean out the home school room. We have a lot of clutter in there at the moment and I have been using our dining room table for working. I really prefer working in the end room since it keeps the dining lounge room tidier.
2) Personal prayer. I have been breaking my morning routine of prayer. I just find it hard to get up in the morning and have been feeling very tired. I need to commit to 30 minutes each night I think. The mornings are not working.
3) Reading with the children: I haven't been doing much with this either. Our home schooling for the last two weeks has been the bare essentials and that is it. I realized the other day that I haven't read to the children at all since Tom's first communion.
4) Time with Steve. We haven't been out on our own for a couple of weeks either. Hopefully we will get out for coffee or tea soon.

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.

New book: Faith Quilt.
All proceeds from sales of "FAITH QUILT" going to "Casa de Amor Children's Homes in Bolivia" and "Sarah's Covenant Homes in India" Two truly extraordinary organisations that take in the most needy children and give them a place of love and security to call home.

Dear Therese,
How I am struggling with the prayer routine also. I had it going really well before Arwen was born and still haven't fully gotten back into the routine I had 5 months later.
God Bless
Boy, that coffee date sound great!
I hope you get it soon Therese!
If you'd like a good book suggestion for your reading time, we've just finished Cottage at Bantry Bay,by
Hilda Von Stockum...we are sad that it ended because the characters now feel like friends to us! It was SUCH a great read aloud!
I really like your list!
This looks like a really good idea!
I also find it easier to stick to evening prayers, like you. I try to begin the day with a simple pray for the girls but for my own prayer time I seem to find more concentration in the evenings.
Therese, I will have to check this Hearts for Home out. Sounds like a good thing. I can relate to your #2 ...
I have an award, well actually two awards, at my blog for you! =) Yeah!! I noticed that you already received the True Heart Award ... And maybe the other one, too. Anyway, I still am giving them to you, because I so enjoy your blog!
