APRONS

A couple of weeks ago I finished Aprons on a Clothesline, by Traci DePree. This book was the third in a mini series and I would recommend them all! While there were a lot of great lessons in this story, but the part that really stuck out to me was when a young mother was hanging clothes on a line her daughter asked why she always wore an apron. The mother explained that it helped to keep her clothes clean but more importantly it is used almost like a uniform. When she puts her apron on, she is reminded of who she is working for- her family. The mother loved her family so much she was very happy to serve them. I hope I can feel the same way one day when I have a family of my own. The mother of this story, now an elderly woman stated that women don't wear aprons very much anymore since most people prepare their food from boxes. I love wearing a pretty apron, for some reason it makes me feel special as I cook for my husband and I am happy to serve him out of love.
