~Building My Home~

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. ~Proverbs 14:1

I drew this little picture in my journal to remind me how important it is to build my home with good things.♥




 I believe if we follow the verses below, we will be well on our way to having well-built homes.

♥ Proverbs 31:10-31
♥ I Corinthians 13
♥ Galatians 5:22-23
♥ Ephesians 4:29-32
♥ Philippians 2:1-4, 14
♥ Philippians 4:8
♥ I Thessalonians 5:16-18
♥ I Timothy 6:6-8
♥ Titus 2:3-5
♥ I Peter 3:1-7

God bless you, and thank you for stopping by today! :-)

Take care,
~Melanie

    Oh, how beautiful! I love the picture you drew, and it is so nice to see a visual of what we should be pouring into our homes. The Lord is showing me more and more how the wife/mother truly does set the tone in the home. We have so much influence over our family, and it is so true that "if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy"! Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us here. You are such a dear blessing! Sending you much love, sweet friend. :)

      Hello, my friend! You are so sweet. It helps to have a 'picture' in my mind of the things I want to build my home with. Yes, I have found my attitude has a lot to do with how well things go in my home! I hope you have a great week. Much love and hugs, ~Melanie :-)

    Oh Melanie...what a wonderful list indeed! Thank you so much for sharing. If we focus on these verses and just live a peaceful life with our Lord as our center, well, the outside can not penetrate! Much love to you... mari

      Dear Mari, You are so right, my friend! It is such a comfort to know God is with us no matter what is going on around us. It is a peace that passes understanding.
      Thank you for stopping by to visit. I hope you have a great week! :-)

    Dear friend,
    Thank you so much for stopping by my little blog to cheer me this morning! I was just thinking about this very thing yesterday...about how important our home is...a safe haven for all who step inside...we should never take the job of homemaking lightly...
