Possessions Speak

What do our homes say to others? Did it confer to them the impression that we want them to see of a godly, Christian home, that looks like Christ's children live there--is it an atmosphere  of "home" where others can feel welcome?
If you were away and strangers stopped in--could they tell you were Christians? Could they feel Christ's presence?
If Christ himself were to step in would you feel at ease to show him your house? How would you answer of he pointed at something and asked "Why?"
I am not speaking of dust and dirt--but things--possessions...what is it that we hang on the walls? What do we place on the side tables? What is it that is on the counters?
Our homes definitely say something about who we are--but let them speak of the things that make them a "home" where families can grow physically and  spiritually and not just be a place of "pretty walls."

  1. “There is such a power in women who are dressed well. Women, you can literally disciple men on how to treat you when you dress like ladies. A lady can have so much presence that she will disarm the enemies and critics of Christ just by the way she holds herself and conducts herself and speaks. This is so powerful. You deserve respect as a creation of God and a woman of God. You can dress and act in such a way that you will command that respect.” - Geoff Botkin

  2. Amen - thank you for sharing. I was reminded of:

    For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    If you really follow the Lord, others will certainly know.

    Lord bless you, js

This is a site where we all want to impart "grace unto the hearer"(Eph.4:29). Let us not attack each other but admonish with love, if we must rebuke a fellow believer. Also keep in mind I would appreciate no improper language or phrases.
Thank you for sharing your opinions with us.
God bless you,
