Love Permeating The Home


Does love permeate your home?  If not, this is a good goal to strive for with your home and family.  When people walk into your home, do they feel the love going on in your home?  Is there love between you and your husband?  Is their love between you and your children?

If you have ever been in a home that permeates with love, you know it and it impacts you.  It is not that common but it is amazing.  Where love permeates everything, peace reigns.  Without peace, there isn't much love.

Strife and quarrelling are the fruit of a home without enough love.  Love is patient, kind, not easily angered,  always protects, and bears up under everything and anything.  Love never fails.  Does your home look like this?
Begin by loving your husband with this kind of love.  Model it to your children.  Then train your children to love this way.  Allow love to permeate your home and every one that enters.  Accept them the way they are and praise them often.  Look for the good in every body and forgive them easily.

Let all that you do be done in love.
I Corinthians 16:14

What a beautiful post!
I resolve to greet my family and friends always with a warm and welcoming smile and a hug,
so they know how important they are to me and how happy I am that they are there!
Even if the house is a mess, I won't let it bother me or be distracted by it--they will have my loving attention.
And of course you're right--it begins with loving my husband, and then it all radiates out from there I believe.
Thanks for the inspiration!

I recently opened up my home for prayer. With four children it was hard to start. They kept coming in. My husband and I took turns silently slipping out while others prayed to tell the kids to "be quiet, you are being rude!". I was not feeling the Spirit much as prayer came to an end. But the last thing prayed over was for my girls and us as a couple for strength (for obvious reason) but then he said " and the love here and between them is so obvious in this home". I was shocked and so encouraged. Love is not a quiet perfect Laura Ingalls experience. It is real respectful relationships, just as you spoke about. Thanks for this post. All you write is always so good and true.
Cheers
