We had a guest speaker at our MOPS meeting this morning. Her name is Amy and she is an annointed Mommy! I mean she has a "peaceful" home and is striving to share her tips with others. God really used her to speak to me personally...I know others were touched too. I really need to strive for peace in my home daily!
She shared with us 7 things that we can do to bring immediate peace in our home. It takes about an hour, while the kids nap or are watching a video.
1. Turn on some praise & worship music.
2. Bake something like cookies or brownies. Smells are great. Brewing coffee works for me...I love the smell, and the taste!
3. Take a basket and go throughout your main living areas and pick up "stuff" that doesn't belong there.
4. Vacuum the floor. A clear floor is great!
5. Pick up papers and put them in a basket or piles out of sight.
6. Get laundry out of sight. Don't have to put it away just put it in a basket and to the room it needs to be in.
7. Take your kids and sit down to relax and eat those yummy goodies you were baking! Enjoy the laughter!
