Grace's Spiritual Homemaking Challenge: Update #5

Well, the bedroom and living room and study are now looking all sparkly and, despite his liberated facade, Beloved is overwhelmed with delight at having a wife devoted to such domestic, er, devotedness.

The concludion I'm beginning to reach about the spirituality of homemaking is thus that, essentially, it's all about the relationship one has with the one for whom one is cleaning and being domesticatedly committed to... that only then does God come into it.

Yes. It's all about the relationship. Funny how it all comes down to that, doesn't it?

... and far more challenging, ultimately, than any scrubbings of the shower. Much, much more rewarding, too!
