I’m on a mission to help turn houses into homes and build family unity. If YOU will join me – that will be one more step in the right direction.
This old world is in a mess and it’s changing at a rapid pace and moving in the wrong direction! Have you noticed?
Families are falling by the wayside and homes that used to be loving and warm are turning into cold and empty houses with a feeling of too much space and not enough connection.
We need to get back to the business of turning houses back into homes and we need to do that NOW!
That in itself will not make a huge change for the better TODAY – but it’s at least a start in the right direction and if we pray and believe for the domino effect – miracles could actually happen – because miracles happen, for those who believe.
I’ve come up with a plan to turn our houses back into homes and build family unity – and as that family unity spreads from home to home and neighborhood to neighborhood and on and on – it very easily could spread round the world.
I’m talking a world changing experience here – starting with ME and my house and moving on to you and your’s and on and on.
Let’s start today to restore our homes and families!
No more living in mere houses with no connections between the family members that live there and no order or warmth in the home itself.
Let’s turn our houses back into loving homes – and let’s do that now.
Let’s put our families back together and let’s make time for each other.
Not a one of us is promised a tomorrow. You DO realize that, right?
If this was your last day with those you love the most, would you be satisfied with the way you’re spending it and the way you’re talking to and treating those family members?
If you had one more last day with them – would you do it differently? Ok then do it differently NOW!
Let’s bring back family suppers around the kitchen table and let’s start communicating again.
Let’s start asking each other about our day and then let’s take the time to listen to those answers.
Who had a really good day and why was that day so good? Who had a bad day and why was it so bad? Is there anything I can do to make the rest of this day, the best of this day for you?
I don’t WANT to live in a house that’s so void of connections with family members it almost feels like an empty house – I want to live in a warm and loving home! I want my family and my home to wrap it’s arms around me in a big tight hug and make all my worries go away for at least that few moments and I want that now. How about you?
Let’s turn off the TV for an hour each day and just talk about school and work and play and our hopes and dreams for the future and then let’s take steps to bring those hopes and dreams to life.
What is your family doing this Saturday? Are you all going in different directions? Then STOP! Make plans for a fun day as a couple or a family – and don’t put the planning off and take a chance you’ll forget – make those plans now!
Let’s say “I LOVE YOU” more and “I appreciate you” and “is there anything I can do for you?”
Let’s start and end our day with prayer and let’s put a day of worship and rest back into our Sundays.
If you have kids at home, let them plan the Sunday menu. One can plan the meat, one the veggies, and one the desert and on and on depending on how many kids you have. Put those meal categories in a hat and let them draw to see who plans what.
WHAT a conversation that would make around the Sunday dinner table about who chose what and why for that meal. And goodness – what are you all going to do for NEXT Sunday’s meal? Let’s plan next Sunday’s meal now?
Let’s do more fun things and let’s do things daily to make each day special!
This life we’re living? It isn’t a dress rehearsal! We need to be savoring more moments and making more days very special.
WHAT? You think you can make time for those you love most – later – because you’re going to live forever? NO YOU ARE NOT!!! Savor moments daily and make time for some little special something – every single day!
This life we’re living, folks – and the way most of us are living it – it just isn’t working for most of us! Haven’t you noticed? Families are being destroyed and family members are falling by the wayside like dominos.
Let’s start today – to work together and play together as friends and family and by doing these things daily and together we will be building better tomorrows for all of us!
May the peace that passes all understanding – reside in your home today!

Hi Kay! I’m from our Facebook group. Great post. I can definitely do much better. I have two daughters, 12 & 15. Though I already fret about them growing up & leaving the nest, I don’t always take advantage of opportunities to spend good, quality time with them. Thank you so much for sharing this! This is a great read for everyone.

Thank you SO much krista lee … Our kids are grown and have kids of their own and the grandkids have kids … lol SO I know all too well about the passing of time. We always made days special with our kids and let them plan meals and day trips and this and that. That blog literally came to me this morning while I was washing breakfast dishes and I just grabbed a pen and started scribbling … lol Thanks so much for reading! And so good to meet you ….
