Send me a text about this episode! In today’s Monday motivation you’ll hear two articles reflecting on the third theme of Advent, Joy. The first, written by Karen Sheppard about Finding Joy in Jesus at the Table and second, a little reflection from me about finding joy in homemaking, which you may have heard in last year’s Holiday Homemaking Week 3, but it bears repeating. Karen’s article was originally published in Homemaker Happy Mail December 2023 and mine in Homemaker Happy Mail December 2022.
