We pay for housekeepers, but we also pay for window cleaners.

And we have all these large windows and we pay for someone to come and clean weekly.

And they do an amazing job.

But I remember the first time that they came, my son took his cupcake hands on our freshly cleaned windows and smeared icing on the window as he was trying

to show me some shape he was making. And of course my heart began to beat really fast. Then I reminded

myself, this is the son that I prayed for.

And then when my daughters followed behind and they thought it was funny to make more shapes,

I said, these are the children that I prayed for.

Those tiny handprints that were in the window were not a sign of chaos. There were a sign of life.

And their perspective with cupcakes smeared on my freshly clean window, soothed my heart.

So whenever that happens, I breathe, relax, and I remember the blessing of help, but I also remember the blessing of family.

Because home isn't just about perfection or being rigid. It's about nurturing life, creating memories, and allowing space for joy, connection, and a little cupcake on the window.

So let me ask you a couple questions. Is your home environment nurturing or chaotic? Have you checked in with every member in your family to see how they're doing or are you coasting on autopilot.

Do you feel peace when you walk through the door or does it feel like just another source of

stress? Many of you are thriving and working because your work is ordered and is structured.

Now it's time to bring that same order and that same piece

and that same structure into your home. Remember what I said. A wise woman builds her home and a foolish

woman tears it down with her own hands. One way to tear it down is to be idle in the way

you look to your household. Do not go in autopilot. God has anointed you to be the woman

who can show up in her home, look very well to it, and be the keeper of her home,

as I've taught so many times. You are anointed for that, but first, you've got to get your

passion back for it. Get back on track. I know it's not taught a lot for career women, more so women who are stay-at-home moms.
