Day by day our children are deciding what matters to them.
Whether our home is large or small, fancy or simple, our home environment can inspire, help, and heal.
Home can invite family members to rise to their divine potential.
Home can be a sanctuary of love, faith, and learning.
It would be wise for us to take a quiet, prayerful walk through the rooms of our home with pen and paper in hand and ask some serious questions, including:
- What important purposes does this space serve? Is it used wisely?
- Do the pictures, music, books, and other resources help us reach our righteous goals, to be our best, and serve those around us?
- Does the environment invite us to come unto Christ? Are we inspired to love and serve Him when we are at home?
Our homes can continually express our love for the Lord and for our family. We can find simple and inexpensive ways to create an uplifting environment.
A little extra thought and effort can make a big difference!
Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God... ~ D&C 88:119
Church members can invite the Spirit into their homes through simple means such as wholesome entertainment, good music, and inspiring artwork. ~ LDS Handbook of Instructions
