From Him, through Him, and to Him are all things.

An organizational explosion!

Well, what else could it be when the Duggar and Maxwell families get together?   It makes me want to go rearrange the teabags, just thinking about it!!!   :-)   The two planets did merge for a moment, and you can see that at the link in this email.

Many of you know what a great tool Teri Maxwell’s Managers Of Their Homes book/system can be in a quest to live intentionally & wisely during this particular season of life.   That’s been a help here for years.   Last year, our family implemented for the first time their Managers Of Their Chores system and chore packs using the online Choreware program that the Maxwells have developed.   Just about the only thing I enjoy about waking up at 5 AM is seeing Ben whizzing through the house with his chore pack pinned to his shirt, all excited!  

We’ve only seen a couple Duggar shows, but I’d spotted their MOTH schedule on the wall in the background of an interview.   Intriguing! We appreciate that the Duggars very clearly give God the glory for all things.  I appreciate most of all that both Michelle Duggar and Teri Maxwell have put themselves out there, openly sharing their struggles and “from whence they came,” as well as generously sharing what they have learned.  They put themselves in a position where they will be regularly criticized (sometimes ruthlessly!), and overly-examined by Christians and non-Christians alike, all to show the worth of the gospel in daily life, and to help other women like me.

Here’s the link to a Maxwell Family Blog post I read today, featuring pictures of their visit to the Duggar home and pics of the Duggar chorepacks hanging in a row.. LOL  Love it!
