Spending Up the Treasure of a Godly Home

You can listen to this post on Refresh Her Podcast

Have you heard of people who win millions of dollars, then end up being paupers in a decade or less? It happens. They foolishly spend up their winnings, rather than using it wisely. In a much more severe loss than even material gain, you and I can waste away the treasure of a godly home, losing the valuable gift that God desires for every family. There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man spendeth it up. Proverbs 21:20

How do we spend up the treasure of a godly home?

It’s amazing to me how easily my husband can fall asleep.  What a blessing that he can stretch back in his chair for a ten minute nap and be asleep in 30 seconds. He gets the benefit of the whole ten minutes!  When I try to take a nap, it takes me nine minutes to fall asleep and leaves me with one minute to rest!

A wise woman knows that building her home has many faces.

  1. When she stopped to play baseball with the children in the backyard, she was building into the life of her child.

  4. When she left that little note on her husband’s pillow, she was building her marriage.

How I Intentionally “Built” My Home This Week

In this recent post, I suggested…

Every day do one thing to build your home. 

Being inspired by Ina Garten’s quote that said, A good home should gather you up in his arms like a warm cashmere blanket, soothe your hurt feelings, and prepare you to go back out into that big bad world tomorrow all ready to fight the dragons” I wondered how I had accomplished this in my home this week.

As I thought back on it, here’s what I came up with –
