I talk about motherhood and I talk about building a Christian home. The two are closely related because as moms we have an opportunity to infuse our homes with God’s love. Sometimes we need to do some prep ahead of time, not a special course or hours of study but simple time in prayer and reading to prepare our hearts and minds to teach our little ones.
These verses are also perfect to add to a housewarming gift or to write on your walls before painting as a way of entrusting your home to God!
