Reality Check
I am not a perfect mother or housewife. There is dog hair under the sofa and the boys eat with their elbows on the table, however much they're nagged. I just assume you'd rather see the pretty stuff!
I remember a friend of mine, a Benedictine monk, getting that comment about how artificial it is to pray out of a book. He pointed out that if you do as much praying as monks do, you need a lot of structure! Also if your services are open to a lot of visitors, who don't necessarily know the local customs. In private life, though, you need a balance, and it's different for all of us.

A lovely way to help. Thank you for the tip. I´ve donated to the red cross.
