Recovering Perfectionists
The definition of a perfection (ist) in Webster’s
dictionary is "1. A state of being perfect or 2. Highest degree of excellence."
While living this earthly life, we strive to become more Christ-like. We
are taught to strive for perfection. There are many who try so hard that
when they fail they beat themselves us emotionally and spiritually. One
of the ways to become more perfect is to love yourself
for who you are! This includes all your shortcomings and inability to be
perfect. While we shouldn’t give up striving to better ourselves, this
section of The Homemaking Cottage is to help those who are in constant
turmoil trying too hard to be perfect. This section is not designed to
excuse homemakers and encourage them to be lazy, but to help them forgive
themselves for not being perfect.
