She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle. Proverbs 31:27
“Get a notebook for keeping holiday info. Write down everything that you would like to do, circle the really important stuff, and then cut back on the rest or cross it off your list altogether. Use the rest of the pages in your notebook to write out in simple do-able terms how to accomplish your holiday plans.”
Lori Byerly in The Generous Wife (Austin: Karis, 2004) 167.
This New Zealand vacation has been awesome because of the generous work Jenni put into the planning process. She created a holiday plan with the key activity (or activities) for each day, driving distances, lodging options, and helped make our time together in Middle Earth unforgettable.
In gratitude I just purchased this book for her on Amazon. Generously planning holidays with your family requires more than financial planning; it calls couples to thoughtfully schedule activities. The more generous we are in the preparation, the more blessing our family receives on the adventure.
