5 Ways To Bring Summer To Your Home
Summer is one of my favorite seasons as it’s a time when coats are no longer needed and water is my best friend. The season brings rest: the kids are out of school and the days are long. It’s an opportunity to spend time with family and friends, and to make lasting memories whether at home, out camping, or on a vacation. When we are in the middle of making memories, taking trips, and recreating our homes to make them cozy, we need to remember God through it all, as he is the creator of every season and the things we enjoy. It’s easy to get caught up in the fun and busyness of summer, but it’s very important to center our homes and hearts on Christ and his love...
"When we read these passages we are reminded of the great responsibility placed on our husbands and fathers. God has entrusted them with the roles of leader, provider, and servant, to name a few. They are models of Christ in our lives, and as such they represent our heavenly father on this side of eternity. We are grateful for them, and on this special day we have the opportunity to shower them with our love and service. In our home, there is no better way to show dad we love him than by sharing a hearty meal together."
"The incredible thing about having a home is that you have this little spot in the world that's yours, a place that God has provided and allowed you to make your own. I love being able to express my creativity in creating art for our home. I look forward to our future children looking at these pieces and cherishing them as treasures as they grow old -- something I can pass onto them that will someday make their own house a home."
