It is the desire of my heart, that our home would mirror heaven. That it would be a place of love, laughter, peace, and growth. A place where each family member, (or visitor), is made to feel special, important, and valued beyond measure.
A passage of scripture that I am meditating on, is Proverbs 31. It is such an awesome portrayal of a virtuous wife! On the topic of desiring to have a more heavenly home, one verse really stuck with me, as an important factor, in accomplishing just that. It is Proverbs 31:27 ~ She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. That is a good reminder for me on those days when I am not feeling very motivated. I am so thankful for God's mercy and grace! What a privilege it is to be a keeper of the home!
That is a verse that I try to keep in mind as well. One of my other favorites from Proverbs 31 is "She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness." That's one I'm sure I need to post somewhere in my house so that I can put it into practice more often!
ReplyDeleteI agree! That is an excellent verse to remember!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much wisdom in the whole Proverb - each time I read it I get more.
