Our Humble Home
I'm so glad that I have a loving Heavenly Father who makes sure to snap me out of it before it spirals out of control. And I have a husband who is on me to talk about it and do whatever it takes to feel like myself again.
So I talked to Nick about it. A lot. I remember him telling me that I am the little heart of this family. Isn't that just the most precious thing??? He went on to explain himself: that when I am sad and mopey that is the general feel of the whole house. Everyone waits to see how I am reacting. Our home's warmth and feeling reflects my own.
And I guess that is somewhat true. So when I read this quote above the other day, it really hit home.
I desire a home that is quiet and peaceful, and no maybe we don't have the most stuff or the nicest things in the world but the job God gave me is to work with what I have to make our home welcoming, and inviting, and my family's safe haven.
So my prayer is that in the coming months I may offer my family a place of warmth, and refuge, physically and spiritually. This goal has brought me out of my slump, and when I think of it, I take the time and make the effort to stay up a little later than normal to get the kitchen completely clean, or wake up earlier than I prefer to fold laundry and tidy our little home.
My prayer:
May all who enter our home leave feeling better than before.
God bless you and your home today...
