Spirit of the Home
What is the tone of your
home? No, I don't mean color scheme, (although I hope you have one!)
but what I mean is, What is the spirit
of your home? You may call it a vibe, or a feeling, but nonetheless,
every home has one. While it thrills me to talk about design,
coordinating colors, textiles, furniture styles, and such things that
make for an aesthetically pleasing home, all of this is of little
importance if the ' spirit ' of our home is not
pleasing. This
my friends, is our home's foundation. Everything begins with a
foundation. Our wardrobe starts with foundation pieces. Our made-up
faces start with an application of foundation. A building begins with a
foundation, just as Christ is the foundation of our faith. So it is
with our homes, and we ladies have the power to create it! It has
always been this way. As it was in the beginning, with Adam and Eve, it
took only the words of a woman to cause a man to rebel against the God
he had intimately fellowshipped with. Scripture tells us in Genesis
3:17, "To Adam he [God] said, 'Because you listened to your wife and
ate from the tree about which I commanded, 'You must not eat of it'...
" WHOA! this is the power we have! Oh, but what a responsibility we
have. That we can influence another for good or evil, just with our
words. If you have a husband, children, family member or other person
who resides with you under the same roof, you are sure to have
conflict, that is guaranteed. How we respond to those unpleasant times
decides the spiritof our home. Choose a spirit of
love,
forgiveness and acceptance, and create a safe sanctuary, for all those
who dwell to call 'home.'
