Monday Motivation #24 | Rhythms of Play for the Homemaker

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.As we prepare for the upcoming deep dive on the 4th Pillar of Homemaking, Community, we have been revisiting the other pillars; Identity, Values, and Rhythms. Over the past few weeks, we’ve looked at rhythms of rest, worship and work. Today we turn our attention to a rhythm that may surprise you….we will talk about the need for rhythms of play. We will look at examples of play in God’s creation and in His Word to see what we can learn about the value of play. Then I will give you some practical suggestions for implementing regular rhythms of play into your home life.NOTES & LINKSSources & Scripture Mentioned:Psalm 96:1-12, The Message TranslationIsaiah 55:12, Christian Standard BibleProverbs 8:30-31, CSBPsalm 19, CSBJordan, James B.
