I think you’re right. Many home business owners started their business so they could have more time with their family, only to find that their business has kind of taken over their lives. That is a danger in doing something you love – you may have to really try to keep it in the right place. But it’s worth it.

As women in business, I fear that our biggest problem might be keeping our priorities in order. It’s easy to go overboard and work too much, thus defeating the opportunity that our home business allows us to spend more time with our family.

We were all fearfully and wonderfully made to fulfill a specific purpose of God’s perfect will. It amazes me how many Christians have bought into this leisurely retirement idea. The most fulfilling and rewarding time in our lives are those when we are in harmony with God’s plan for us. Christ says His yoke for us is easy and His burden for us is light. I think there may be some disappointed Christians that find out they have work to do in heaven rather than an eternal vacation.

Thanks for your comment – I really appreciate your kind words. I’m so happy to hear about the doors the Lord has opened up for you!

Blessings to you.

I love to work, too. I am having some trouble getting used to doing most of my work online, but am so blessed that the Lord has granted me the opportunity. I love writing and am hoping to develop that further this year and I am starting to see progress with my two online decorating stores. I love your blog, Laurie. You always keep me inspired!

Hugs from WV,
