As someone not naturally inclined to tidiness and organization, I really loved talking with my friend, Candace York, about housekeeping and hospitality this week. Candace shares a biblical vision for the work and call of housekeeping especially as it pertains to women. In Proverbs 31, the wife is praised for “looking well to the ways of her household” which is something often undervalued in our current culture. How can we cultivate a heart attitude that values the seemingly monotonous task of housekeeping? How can we reject the idol of perfection but maintain a home that blesses our family and others? We’ll also talk about the connection between housekeeping and hospitality and how inviting others into your home offers a special blessing to your children.
Candace York has been married to Seth for 13 years and they have four children between the ages of 2 and 10. They serve the Lord through their local church and also at Crossings - a camp ministry for kids and teens in Kentucky. Candace delights in the work of housekeeping and uses her gift at Routine Refresh to help women clean their homes in a more efficient way.
