Literally, there is no place like home. Thus, our home is ought to be an oasis of love, joy and comfort.

Listed below are three tips to make our home a place where you and your family always want to be—a home sweet home.

1. Let the LORD be the center of your home.

Living in harmony is a clear-cut picture of Jesus Christ-centered home.  As the Scripture says,” If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” Mark 3:25.   Likewise, it is very important that the Lord is the foundation of our home as we seek His guidance and direction for our family.  “Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” Psalm 127:1.

Build a family altar to worship God together and learn more of His ways. Evening is the perfect time for family altar, and the warm scent and the soft glow of Vanilla Scented Ivory Pillar Candle Pair could make it more engaging.  Make your family altar short, delightful and sweet, but vital and satisfying so our children would desire for more.  “As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15.  “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”  John 14:23.

2. Spend time with your family.

Never neglect to spend quality time with your family.  The living room is a perfect place to relax and unwind with your spouse and children.  You can read books together; watch inspirational films, or a casual conversation about God’s faithfulness. The kitchen is also a perfect place to have some fun. You can cook together and dinner could even more exciting when everyone is involved in the preparation.

3. Create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Our home tells a lot about who we are, and the environment we create can describe the condition of our heart even before we say a word.  As the Scripture says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”  Proverb 4:23.

Make our home inviting and comfortable. Maybe you can drape Throw-End Of A Perfect Day II/Come With Me (Tapestry) over a comfy chair, sofa or couch or bed to add a feeling of comfort and warmth. Or perhaps you can place a Wall Hanging-Lion And The Lamb w/Psalm 4:8 (Tapestry) in the living room to create a more peaceful atmosphere and they are a great way to incorporate Scripture into your home décor.

There are many ways to decorate our home, but decorating our home with inspirational and faith-based theme promotes a warm and welcoming atmosphere that will make our family feel loved and secured.
