The Eternal Significance Of Building Your Home

Building our homes with intentionality and an eye for beauty is an act of eternal significance in the hearts, minds, and souls of our children. Home is the place that holds us with invisible strings of love within its walls.

It is the place where the delectable smells and tastes of “my favorite food” linger; where the comfort and beauty of “my room” and “my bed” can be enjoyed, where “my dreams” are inspired and begin to grow, where bedtime routines, prayers, and blessings give comfort, where the intimacy of deep relationships–unconditional love, grace, forgiveness, encouragement, unselfishness, laughter, and memories–is shared with people who have made us a priority in their lives. It's where appetites for favorite music, movies, books, games, art, and traditions are shaped from infancy on up.
