A Heart For Your Home

Connection Group- 07.15.11

 These weeks are flying by! I am so thankful with God for what we've been learning. 

 We have a new mom-to-be, Rachel, in our connection group. I also found out that Casey is pregnant. I am very happy to know them and to be praying for them as they go through this beautiful time in their lives. 

 A couple weeks ago I went to visit Carly and her new baby. She is recovering quickly and the baby is a cutie pie.

This past Friday in our discussion time we all agreed that the "mom-wife" is the heart of the home-family.

Elizabeth George shared: A women can build her home with godly wisdom or tear it down with foolishness. 

The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. Proverbs 14:1

God expects women to watch over and guard their homes.

She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness. Proverbs 31:27 (New Living Translation)

By learning and applying biblical truth, women can manage themselves and their home to the glory of God. 

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15 

Women are to keep their homes as places of rest, joy, and provision.

Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting--and conflict. Proverbs 17:1 

How can we do it? Understanding our roles in the home and developing a plan that help us carry out our roles effectively. It is a blessing to be a wife and mom and we have the capability of making  our home our little haven. 

I hope to see you on Friday at 10:30 am.

Love,
Carla
