The Thief Of Joy & Contentment | Biblical Christian Homemaking

[@theparttimehomemaker]

I literally tell myself this EVERY DAY because there are things about my home that I dislike that I used to allow to take up too much space in my mind. Life is much more enjoyable when we have a positive mindset. Yes, please include me in your prayers. Thank you ❤

[@ahomemakersnotebook]

It really is 😊 especially when most of the time we can’t really do anything about it then and there, so why let it consume our thoughts and take away precious joy from us? I will ❤️

I am the opposite. I love old things that have been handed down for generations. In fact my den looks more like a storage room right now because when my mom passed, I couldn’t part with so much of her stuff. I have got to tackle that room and figure out what I have room to keep. I’m very much in the grieving stage and it’s about impossible for me to think of parting with her stuff. I didn’t bring clothes and stuff like that. It was donated to charities that give them away to people In need. I did however end up with some furniture, some decor and THREE sets of her dishes. I also brought home some of her nicer towels and blankets and some kitchen items. I’m praying the the good Lord will help me figure it out after the grieving process. Thank you for the video. ❤

I am the type who loves small kitchens! Compact is best to me! I don't have much storage but i have a hoosier cabinet holding a lot in other room & blessed to have a basement for storage & home grocery store. I know I'm blessed & i focus on learning recipes. But i have bought vintage used things for my interests-affordable decor. Agree with you! Making do. I think your kitchen is awesome. Thanks

[@ahomemakersnotebook]

Thank you 😊 🩷 I love that you love those things ☺️ it’s funny, reflecting back on the audio it probably sounded like I dislike all “old things” but I actually do like certain vintage / antique things. My daughters dresser is very old and has that vintage worn in old look to it - because it is, and I actually searched for months looking for it and bought it second hand because that’s the look I was going for 😅

Gratitude is very important, we must be grateful for everything and most for the life we are given by God, because without it we would not be able to experience what we have… there is a poem I love to listen to “we are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars we have a right to be here, and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should” there will always be things that is greater and lesser than ourselves, acknowledge what we do have and be grateful once we are grateful we can ask for and gain greater things, however with what ever greatness we do achieve we must remain forever humble and grounded knowing that we came here without and we will leave without!

[@ahomemakersnotebook]

Love what you said at the end Job 1:21 And he said, “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” ❤️

I had the exact table like yours. Someone blessed us with it. Yeah it was old, and not my style but I was so grateful for that table I took good care of that table (3 years) until God allowed us to move and we were able to get something else. So many good memories were made around that table 😊

[@ahomemakersnotebook]

Really? That’s amazing. And that’s an awesome new way for me to look at it - what memories can I create at this table? Thank you so much for sharing 🩷

Thank you Lord for a house we can afford.

[@luvly__bri3]

Thank you for this reminder!❤ I aspire to be more content with what I have & focusing on the positive, it’s a struggle not gonna lie . negative thinking seems to come so easily!

[@ahomemakersnotebook]

@@luvly__bri3 of course 🫶🏽 your not wrong at all, it is very easy to think negatively. with the Lords help, he can renew your mind and create a new heart within you, and one day it wont be as much of a struggle as it is now. So don’t loose heart ❤️ “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life."

[@ahomemakersnotebook]

[@mrsdaisymama]

I sooo resonated when you said your hopes and dreams turned into comparing and complaining! I’m so guilty of that. Thank you for sharing your heart with us Janae ♥️

[@ahomemakersnotebook]

I’m happy me sharing has blessed you, Daisy ❤️ it’s hard not to let our ‘wants’ create a discontent heart within us, but with the Lords help he will help you overcome that, I have no doubt 😊
