It isn’t the the gifts under the tree that will bind your child’s heart to you, nor will those gifts stir the fondest memories when they are older.

Extravagance at the expense of sincere communication will not instill a desire to trust and confide in you.

Bling can never replace fellowship. And there is nothing sweeter than having true, sincere, lifelong fellowship with your children.

What will draw them to you is a spirit of joy.

Moms are the key factor in creating an atmosphere of cheerfulness in the home.

She is the one that leads the way into a calm peaceful home.

Mom is the buffer of all things harsh and ugly, untruthful.

She must set the pace of speaking a kind word when others are negative. She needs to be honest teaching others to respond kindly.

Her hands must be diligent in making the home a place that people WANT to be, where the naked are clothes and the hungry are fed.

Her arms welcoming… comforting…full.

Being a homemaker is serious business. It doesn’t just happen… YOU have to make it happen.

Home is what everyone works for…goes to at the end of the day.

Some of us have home strings that tug hard at Christmas time. That is because there was someone that once made a HOME and pleasant memories that were imprinted deep in our soul.

You want to drive everyone, even your children away from you and your home?

• Be critical. (This one is most important)
• Nag
• Complain
• Be lazy.
• Be too busy to communicate.
• Don’t cook satisfying foods.
• Don’t smile.
• Don’t play beautiful music.
• Be very strict and legalistic.
• Don’t be honest about what is true, right and good.
• Replace relationships with activities.
• Satisfy immature, temporary desires with things.
• Always let them choose friends over family.

You reap what you sow.

 

Don't forget...
