A Godly Home

“I believe that a Godly home is a foretaste of heaven.

Our homes, imperfect as they are,

must be a haven from the chaos outside.

They should be a reflection of our eternal home,

where troubled souls find peace,

weary hearts find rest,

hungry bodies find refreshment,

lonely pilgrims find communion,

and wounded spirits find compassion.”

Those of you who follow my blog might know that I haven't done an Monday Inspiration for some time. I didn't want to force the issue and have to try to "find" something inspirational to share. I decided instead to just share when I came across something. I saw this posted on my friend's facebook page last week and it really stuck with me so I went back to her page and had to post this.

Whether it be painted or stitched or something else, I will make something with this quote to be a reminder for me every day!

I want to remember this when my children get older, when life for them gets rough, when friends disappoint and school is hard. I want to remember this every day when my husband is on his way home from a long day's work. And I want to remember this when I have visitors who may need a break from their own home.

Thank you Jackie for posting this on facebook, it made my day and I'm sure that it was meaningful for many of your friends!

 

Have a great and peaceful day!
