Making Your Home a Haven
I would like to thank Biblical Womanhood for sharing this encouragement to make our homes a haven of peace and love. I am coming in a day late, but I hope to be able to participate daily.
There are three daily steps and none of them take very long. You spend time with God, first thing. You spend time planning your day, and you spend a few minutes picking up an area of the home.
1) Refresh Your Spirit
I am reading the devotional, Praying the Names of Jesus. I read the Tuesday reading for “Light of the World”, along with my daily reading. I am in Acts right now.
2) Plan
My normal to do list plus added some blogging prep and getting my Christmas tree up, finally.
Being a working mom my normal to do list varies from work days to home days. Being at home today, I worked around the house more than I would have if I would have been at work for seven hours.
3 loads of laundry
dishes
Work on Faith Filled Wives
Work on A Cup of Tea With Me
clean the bathrooms
Go “shopping” with Jim to daydream about the remodel
Grocery shopping
Put up the Christmas tree
3) Do Something
Yesterday’s area was the entry, today’s is the living area. Well, lucky for me they are one and the same. My home opens into my living room.
Today, I am getting ready to finally put up my Christmas tree, so I am having to rearrange my living room, dining room and breakfast nook.
It is pretty clean already, due to some furniture moving that Jim did last night. There is still some clutter though. HA! SOME clutter… this is my house we are talking about. There is quite a bit of clutter. I hope this challenge helps me conquer my bad habits too!
