JOYFUL HOMES

Joyful homes aren‘t perfect, but they’re INTENTIONAL.

If there’s one thing we’ve all learned these past several months, it’s that life is full of things we can’t control. Things that used to be simple are now full of complex considerations and choices. It’s exhausting.

This month, we invite your family to consider the one thing that you can do something about: the atmosphere in your home! Join us in making one small change this month that will invite more joy into your family simply by being intentional.

Being intentional simply means deciding what things are most important to your family, then making a plan to put them in your life!

“For freedom Christ set us free.” Galatians 5:1

Our culture thinks freedom is license to do whatever we want.

Our faith tells us something different: that freedom is the ability to do whatever is best for ourselves and others.

Without even realizing it, we can surrender our family’s freedom to outside expectations. Being intentional about how we spend our family’s time, money and energy helps us live the life God has for us.

Is there an area of family life that has slipped away from you? Have you always meant to pray together but never found the time? Do you feel like you never see each other? Ask God to show you one small way to be intentional, and reclaim your freedom!
