You are not a worker bee, but you will always be His workmanship (Eph. 2:10). That word workmanship in the Greek is "poema", a bit of a stretch linguistically, but you are His poem.

I'm glad that you get to share your dreamy literary loves with the kids, but best of all are those prayers you'll say for them. God bless you.<br /><br />As for home....I'm a stay-at-home worker and even when I go away for a day to run errands or do something fun, I can't wait to get back to my comfy, familiar home. I understand how much you want to be there too.
