WHAT’S IT LIKE IN YOUR HOME?
I often hear mothers complaining about their home . . .
“I’m wasting my life at home. I could be doing so much more with my life.
“I’m bored at home.”
“I love my children, but I don’t love being at home.”
“I’m miserable.”
Hang on a minute. Dear precious mothers, be careful of your confession. When you confess negative things about your home, you are complaining about yourself. Home is not the problem; it’s the mother’s attitude. You see, it is we mothers who determine the life in our home. Nobody else but us!
You determine what your home life will be like. If you want an exciting, stimulating, fulfilling, productive, loving, peaceful, and fruitful life, you can make it happen in your home. Forget all the negatives. Forget your miserable thought life. Forget your self-pity.
Come on now. Start thinking of how you can make your home the most exciting place on earth. Start thinking of how you can make your marriage more exciting and fulfilling. There are so many things you can say and do. Think of something lovely to do with your husband this evening. That doesn’t you have to go out somewhere. Think of something amazing to do together in your home!
Think of how you can make life more happy and joyful for your children. There are a hundred and one things you can do to make this happen. You just need to change gears from the negative to the positive. There is a world of stimulating ideas waiting for you to enter as you start thinking about it and ask your creative God to give you new ideas.
You home is meant to be the most delightful place on earth. The first home, which is the prototype for all homes, was called the Garden of Eden. Eden is the word for DELIGHT in the Hebrew.
Your world is your home. Make it delightful and pleasing to yourself, your husband, and your children.
Don’t become a victim. Instead, make your home, marriage, and family life what you want it to be!
