Want to change the mood in your home?

Here are some verses I have found to be helpful:

Ephesians 5:19b-20

Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Psalm 71:8

My mouth is filled with Your praise declaring Your splendor all day long!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

(Heart attitude- inward thoughts and inward reactions-be thankful for all things. Now, I know this is easier said than done but think about it. If "What goes up must come down." than souldn't it also be that, "What comes IN will come OUT."? Inward thoughts become spoken words, inward reactions become outward actions.)

Father, May we as wives and mothers always remember that we more often than not have such an influence over the mood in our homes. While we may not always feel like being happy, we can make a choice to "serve You with gladness" and be light for You in our homes. Forgive us when we fail and help us to pick ourselves back up and move on with praise in our hearts. In Your Name, Amen
