Fill your home with good words.
A big part of building a happy home is being able to control your tongue.
1 Peter 3: 8-10 says it this way: “Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless—that’s your job, to bless. You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing. Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, Here’s what you do: Say nothing evil or hurtful; Snub evil and cultivate good;”
What could happen if you began to say nice things to your spouse and your children?
Weigh your words before you speak and find a way today to speak good things to your family and about your family.
Let’s make a commitment in this new year to fill our homes with words that bring harmony and peace.
We’re praying for you to have a happy home in 2009.

This speaks right to me, as does the other one on no strife. I said some very ugly things to my husband today because he hurt me. This issue has been going on our entire marriage of almost 17 years. There are many other issues that have never been resolved and that are very hurtful. I know I have a lot of faults and get so depressed feeling there’s no hope. I want so much for the Lord to be the center of our lives. Please pray for me, I’m just so weary. I know that the word says not to grow weary in well doing but it is really hard sometimes. You all are such an inspiration in the wonderful relationship you have. Please pray for me that I can have one with my husband too by allowing him to do a work in me. Thank you and God Bless You.
