Many a woman can testify to the way her home ministers its comfort to her when she comes home after a day's shopping or visiting. Or for the working woman, when she comes home from a day's work. It is not unusual for a woman to come home during her lunch break, taking most of her break up in travelling, yet ministered to so deeply by the comfort of being home that she just spends 10 minutes there before returning to work.
This is how God has ordained a home to be... He says that a home should be a peaceful place, and a place of quiet rest. Obviously, it is not always possible to have a quiet home, but what is meant here is a place of peace that quiets the nerves and soul and that is set apart as an oasis of calm in an often turbulent world...

I do think your home should be a sanctuary, especially the bedroom restful and intimate.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I agree! The bedroom is not only for sleep, but for the continuance of intimacy in marriage, which strengthens marriages. Thanks for sharing a cuppa with me today. Blessings, Glenys

DeleteWe are intentional in setting an atmosphere in our home that is restful and full of peace. People almost always comment on it and it's really only when we go somewhere else and that peace is lacking that we notice how important it is to us and what a gift it is -to us and our guests!

DeleteYou are right in that a home can minister to and relax us. Sometimes I forget this. But I do know I enjoy my home and my little office in my home where I try to relax a bit each day.
