Home Culture

Home culture is the atmosphere
that is purposefully and intentionally
cultivated within the four walls of your home.
It is the music when you walk in the door,
it is the conversation at the dinner table,
it is games played by the fireside,
it is the singing when your daughters do the dishes
or the laughter of small toddlers
who find a small green caterpillar.
Culture...it exists just as richly and lively inside your home as it does outside your front door.
Dear Mothers, we weave the tapestry
of homelife for our loved ones
as we create the culture of our home.
As we sit down and plan the days and months ahead,
we purposefully begin writing what is akin to a novel
of soon-to-be memories of our families lives.
The music played the background of your homes today
will become the soundtrack from their childhood.
The art you hang on your walls can leave
a deep and lasting impression on a child's mind and soul.
Children will forever fondly remember the smells, music, joy and memories of their childhood and always fondly desire to return to it...even when they are old and gray.
Home culture takes planning...
it takes time...it takes thought.
Mothers hold the brush in painting the beauty,
fun and memories in children's lives.
"By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches."
~ Proverbs 24:3-4 ~
Dear Mothers, what a privilege it is to prepare
such a place for our families.
Prayerfully begin planning the culture for your home today!
