Well, the final countdown has begun. 26 days until the wedding. We won’t be having too many house guests, good thing because I have already got a household to get ready for the wedding. But we will have my brother and two of his girls staying here (I can’t wait) and others who will be visiting. So my big challenge is to make my house a haven without stress. Which means we must spend MORE time worshipping and praying than we do scrubbing. As much as I appreciate cleanliness, I more appreciate family and Jesus. The focus will be on who is here, not thier impression of my house, I want them to feel my HOME. I think if the Lord speaks to them here and they go away with a peace that might not have had before, they probably won’t even notice the old parts of this house that still look old.
What a good post. And what a good reminder. I was very challenged by what you said, “we must spend MORE time worshipping and praying than we do scrubbing”. Thank you so much for your right perspective!
