Family First

By definition family means: A group consisting of parents and children living together in a household.

Many women are inspired by family members who don't live under the same roof as them, and spend more time indulging in reading about, watching or gossiping about what the next woman is doing instead of really taking care of their own home.

I decided to blog about this to kindly remind us ladies that home is where the heart is. I've been around some women who have constant complaints about their husbands or their children, etc. It is very important to take care of home and your family, or they may have complaints of their own.

 We as women carry the world on our shoulders and sometimes don't get the rest we should or the recognition we deserve. However, it is still important to love, nurture, cook, clean, inspire, encourage, care, support, teach and pray for you family. No matter what size your family is, keeping your home close to your heart is the key to true success and you will be blessed.

*Here are a few inspirational scriptures regarding family:

Ephesians 6:1-2
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother"--which is the first commandment with a promise--
Proverbs 11:29
He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise
Proverbs 31:15-17
She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
