Where is the Heart of Your Home
Most of my readers know by now that the heart of our home is the culmination of each member’s identity in Christ. If each and every member of our home is living a life to be pleasing to the Lord, then the home will be a pleasant place, a place where we love one another, put one another’s interests ahead of ourselves, and are a testimony to the world of what a life filled with Christ’s love can do. That, simply put is the heart of our home.
Now, from a worldly viewpoint, the other heart of our home is the living room, our “hub” so to speak. Here is where we greet one another, snuggle on the couch to read books together, gather with our church family, have family discussions, and with our home businesses, we often have our laptops in there working while all the evening’s activities are going on around us. Our living room is also the “sick room”. When someone gets sick, the couch is the place they lay with their pillow and blankie so that they can be lovingly tended to by others, even as we go about our daily work.
This is also the room where we greet our guests. I cannot even name all the precious visitors we have had there: grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, book club girls, our minister, missionaries, neighbors, customers, and others.
The living room is often where ideas are born, discussed, rehashed, debated, rejected, affirmed, and acted upon.
Several years ago a friend gave me a certificate for a “free room makeover consultation.” This company would come in, look at what you already have around your house and re-do a room with your own stuff. I picked the living room and she made this room a very stylish room. She whisked away all the clutter (imagine that!) and placed items so beautifully and artistically that now everything in that room has a very specific place and there is little space for clutter. This was terrific because now, the “heart of my home” is very easy to clean and have “company ready.” This might be something to consider if you like to have guests over to visit, or would like to do so more.
Here is what I would like to know: Where is the Heart of Your Home?
Happy Homemaking!

I agree 100% that the heart of our home is Christ.
Physically speaking, our kitchen is more the heart of our home. That’s where we end up schooling…making meals…and sitting down for coffee and a chat with drop-in guests. Our living room is now so small that we don’t have room for coffee tables or end tables where we can put beverages, but we do have a 14-person kitchen table…so that’s where we usually end up when we have company that involves eating or drinking.
Hope that Christina and Jonathan will end up with that washer/dryer!
wow, what a blessing! I would love a set like that, but would love to see them get it even more
The heart of my home is my kitchen – All of the meals are prepared there. It’s the first room you enter when you come inside. It’s where the mail pile is! The food and drinks are there! We can sit and eat or entertain, hang out with a friend, read a magazine or watch the birds outside. It’s also the perfect floor for rolling balls with my son!
The Heart of our Home is the LR/Dining Room.
The heart of our home is the LR/DR. We are in the living room when relaxing and although we have a schoolroom, we prefer to do schoolwork around our spacious kitchen table (seats 10)!
The heart of our home is the living room. It’s such a cozy place and is often filled with laughter. Always makes coming home so sweet!
What a blessing it is to a young couple who can not afford a washer and dryer. I would love to have the set but the young couple needs it even mor. My kitchen is the room you come into. That is where my daughter got her tricycle,bicycle, mail piled up and that is where we eat most of the time instead of the dining room.
The heart of our home is the kitchen. The family gathers in the kitchen to eat, play games, read, use the computer, etc. The kitchen is our classroom.
What a great contest! And what a wonderful wedding gift!
The HEART of our home is Jesus Christ… The central area of all our gatherings is the Living Room and Dinning Room…. the kids, our guests, the meals, the board games, the chats, etc. Praying you will be able to be a blessing to your daughter and soon to be son-in-law!
Blessings!!
The heart of our home is the living room. I agree that it feels so nice when it is clutter free. I’d love to have it that way always, I’m just not sure how to achieve that since we’d have to move a lot of stuff that we use daily to another area of the house.
Cool washer and dryer plan! Blessings!
I think the kitchen is the heart of my home also, but it is hard to say. I know it is the hardest room to keep clean! That must say something about how we use it.
I hope you win the washer and dryer! And blessings to your children on their marriage!
After I read your articles,Malia, I always want to improve my life and renew my dedication to my family, encouraging them in loving one another and serving the LORD with gladness.
The heart of our home would be a “Dining Room and Den” combination. We start out at the dining table, with some migrating to the den, and some of us chasing the grandchildren around. I have a goal to get some really comfortable chairs for the dining table — that might prolong our mealtime conversations. All the best to the ‘soon to be’ bride and groom.
Kitchen and Living Room. We do school in there, cook, eat, work on the computer. And we like to sit on the couch in the LR where we can relax by watching a show and folding laundry or working on a craft project.
Malia, the heart of our home would be the living room. That is where we gather and spend time together as a family. I like the idea of a makeover using what we already have. I’ll have to check into that! Congratulations to your daughter, I hope she wins!
heart of our home is Christ. Our entire back of our house is open so I love that we can flow from kitchen to family room and see everyone inbetween.
Malia,
You’re great! I am so happy for Christina…and YOU! Congratulations on your news! Hope you are doing well! Love You!
Bonnie : )
Oh I hope my sweet granddaughter wins!
I really need a remodel of my living room too! It’s a 22 foot long room and it feels crowded!
We have no one place in our home where we all congregate on a regular basis, so that place must be in our hearts. My hope, prayer, desire and maybe even goal is to make Christ the heart of our home. Without Him, the ‘place’ doesn’t matter.
Where is the heart of our home?
In the living room ALL together and on Mom and Dad’s bed Where our kids
listen to stories that we read to them.
I’ve shared your living room with you, and it is a wonderful place! I would love to have a little part in helping Christina and Jonathan win this wonderful set of appliances!! Congrats and all the best to them in their marriage!
Marie
I love the fact you are blessing your daughter and her future husband! Our kitchen seems to be the heart of our home.
The heart of my home is often my bedroom. Our family piles on the bed at night to discuss the day, to cuddle, to share. We watched movies together from the bed and have our popcorn. Even the dogs will pile on with us at times. The occasional pillow fight might break out as well. The memories of our family time together in the evenings is priceless.
What a great contest! The heart of our home is our kitchen. It’s where everything goes on.
The “heart’ of our home is Jesus Christ. The “hub” of our home is the dining room. Our dining room table is not only for family meals, but also for family meetings, family prayer, school, art projects, and occasionally a secret hide out when draped with a couple of sheets!
I hope you win the appliances for your daughter and new son-in-law!
Hey Malia: I hope I am doing this right and that you win the washer and dryer. Please let me know if I did everything ok. Your website is totally awesome!!! You Rock!!! I can’t beleive that Tina is getting married next month!!!! It is so cool having David in my Pre-K class. I hope he likes it, he seemed like he would rather just be playing, but then again, wouldn’t most boys? even grown ones? Anyways, this is fun!!! Keep me posted on everything.
If I leave more than one comment does that count towards the prize?Why does it say Ten minus five equals at the bottom of this? Is this like an e-mail or are other people reading it besides you?
I believe the heart of our home is also the Living room. It is where we as a family sit and listen to books on CD and do projects as we talk, where we greet and entertain guests, and probably the most inviting room of our home!! Probably the least cluttered too — I’d like to think.
So excited for Tina & Jonathan!!
My step-son gets married this coming Sat. 9/26 — too Cool!!
Although the kitchen is likely the heart of our home, we recently made a “reading nook” in our “great room” and we often find ourselves all huddled in this area to just visit with each other. I think its appeal has to do with the closeness of the furniture and the fact that every morning there are three of us warming up the seats as we use them for our “tent of meeting” time with the Lord. His presence is clearly felt whenever we sit down in that area.
The heart of my home is the kitchen, everyone collects there even when it is not mealtime. I am constantly having to clear clutter out of the kitchen just to have a meal at the table. best wishes to the soon-to-be-newlyweds…
Very good article, Malia! I agree. Also I hope you win!
Nice article, Malia! You are a blessing to the homeschool world! I hope you win the contest
The heart of our home is our LR/DR. This is where everyone hangs out, does homework, watches TV, trains the dogs, surfs on the computer–you name it! Good luck!
The living room is definitely the heart of our home. We are always gathering there for seemingly everything— but most importantly, our family prayer times. Since our recent move this summer, I especially love our new living room, where I definitely feel an extra sense of God’s presence, mostly because of the view and the way it just feels. By the way, give our congrats to Christina and Jonathan— WOW!!
The heart of our home would be the living room. We do play games and eat in the dining room, but the living room would be the heart of our home. We communicate with one another, watch television, cuddle, read books, watch football/baseball/ basketball games (can you tell I am the only women in my house), entertain guests, plan dinners, review homework and materials covered and many other things. We have a prayer space in the living room and pictures of our family and friends that give this room a more cozy and welcoming feeling.
Congrats to the soon to be newlyweds. When Trey and I got married we got a washer and dryer as a weeding gift from his grandparents and it was truly a blessing because it was two less things we had to worry about getting for our new home.
Our kitchen is the heart of our home. I love to have everyone home for a meal together. (including our college students!) It is always a blessing when we can all be there sitting at the table and catch up with one another’s lives.
The people are what makes me love my home. Taking time to talk with my sisters, and parents is the best part about our home, I will miss it when we all grow up and move away.
Yay Christina!
The heart of our home is also the living room…we do just about everything there, including eat dinner! Hope you win!
Christ!
The place where we spend most of our time is in our livingroom/kitchen (one huge room). I actually feel like I spend my entire day in the kitchen but that’s another topic.
Congratulations on you News!!!
And thank you for always sharing your heart!
Christ is the heart of our home also!!
The LR is the heart of our home, the major hub of our traffic!
Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. How exciting!
A new home to share Christ from!
The heart of our home is our bedroom. Everyone comes in to our room in the morning and piles on the bed and snuggles and talks about things. It is a very special time which we have done since they were very very little.
The heart of our home? It’s the love we share…but love can be transient, and fade with time or circumstances. True love only comes from the Lord Jesus Christ. Because of His unconditional love for us, we have His love to share with each other. In the kitchen, the living room…We don’t have a dining room, but a big kitchen table with benches seems to be where people always end up. A big bay window there lets us look out at the garden, the trees, the pasture. We do school at the table, eat, talk, play cards, and discuss family issues. I like our house, but I LOVE our home, because true love is there, shared by those I love!
The heart of our home is definitely Christ as well! As far as physical space goes, we have an open floor plan, so I’d have to say it’s the kitchen/living room. I can monitor everyone’s schoolwork while I’m cooking. Our couch is great for snuggling & reading or watching a movie. The kitchen table is used for copywork and crafts as well as family meals.
I would have to agree that Christ is the center of our home, wtihout him in our lives we are and have nothing ! What a great God we serve. He has been the best example to see how to have a home. Love, kindness,gentleness, & a servants heart are a few of the lessons that he has taught us in our home. Everyroom is great if he is there with us. We pray that your children will be blessed by your generous spirit to share with them. God Bless you and your family for sharing with all of us your hearts and knowledge..
The heart of our home would definitely be our dining room. That is where we as a family pray together, play games, study, read, and of course, eat. Christ has truly blessed us, and I’m so thankful for our dining room table. Such wonderful memories are made there.
Christ is the hert of our home also. Congratulations to you all.
The heart of our home – People with Christ as the centre. The rooms all have a different place but it is the people in my home which make it alive. My husband found this out recently when he shifted house while the rest of us were away. May the Lord bless Christina and Jonathan..and may they remember that, even if they don’t win and money is tight, times of relying on the Lord each day for the provisions you need can be an even greater blessing than having everything amazingly provided. Bless you in your pregnancy also and in serving the Lord as He calls each day.
Ruth
The heart of my home is the living room. That is where we do school, and sit after as a family. It is where we gather for holidays, where we gather with friends, and even just sit together and be quiet. But no matter where we are or what we are doing, Christ is at the heart of it all.
Jesus is our heart!
Amen! Congratulations to your whole family with all of your wonderful news! Isn’t it wonderful how God sometimes showers us with more blessings than we ever thought possible?
The heart of our home is hands down the kitchen! My favorite kitchen when our kids were younger was the one that had a conference table in it and a couch. Games, eatting, school, art projects, pulling baby teeth, etc…always happened there. Now that the kids are older the kitchen is still the place where big news is shared! Such a great room! Best wishes to the Russell family and all of their marvelous news! Love you guys!
I hope you win the washer and dryer!!!
The heart of our home is our kitchen and LR as we gather to cook meals together in the kitchen and then have our family time in the LR. It allows a place of rest, comfort and socializing about our day or the coming events. It is also a place of a quiet solitude after a busy day as well for my hubby and I.
Blessings to your family as you add 2 new additions, Jonathan and your little blessing.
The heart of our home is our living room where we spend time reading. I love seeing my kids curled up in a comfy chair and a big pile of books. Or watching my husband read to them before bed–precious memories. Hoping you’ll win.
Congratulations to Christina and Jonathan… and I hope you win!
When life is as it should be, Christ is the heart of our home. When it gets stressful, or chaotic, I know just where to straighten it out – if I stop long enough to think, and then pray. The living room is the central room in our home. I hope to do some remodeling/expansion to have a kitchen/dining/living space, instead, but for now the living room is where we live.
How sweet to want to win this for your daughter and soon to be son-in-love. I hope you guys win!
The Heart of our Home is our master bedroom. Daily we will snuggle up together in our big bed and read a good book together, watch a movie, listen to CD’s, do devotions, and just enjoy each other’s company!
We are blessed to have 6 kiddos and 1 on the way, but with that many also comes A LOT of dirty laundry, so almost as much time is spent in our laundry room as anywhere else in our home!
May God bless Christina and Jonathon as the start a new life together, and may it be full of God’s richest blessings- CHILDREN!
The heart of our home is our family! Room-wise I’d have to say the family room is where we spend the most time together- We homeschool too, and that’s were the stuff is. I have enjoyed reading your blog.
The heart of our home is Christ. If I were to name a room it would be the kitchen/dining area. So much goes on there!! God Bless!5
blessings to you all!!!
For us it is definitely the living room too. It is where we gather for family worship, “everydays” and holidays. It is where songs are sung, books are read, and love freely given.
Congrats to the newlyweds and to you and Duncan!
Definitely agree that Christ is the heart of our home! In a physical sense, our schoolroom/dining room is the heart of our home. We spend most of our time in it eating, playing or doing school.
I hope your daughter and future son-in-law win the washer and dryer!
The heart of our home is our family room. We do so many fun things in the living room–play games, our family devotions, watch movies together, etc….Congratulations to you all and to your daughter–I hope you win the washer and dryer for them.
The heart of our home is Jesus! I’m so excited for your family-I hope you win!
~Blessings~
You are so right that the Heart of the Home is Christ…on the physical side of things the Heart of our home ironically is the laundry room because it is also our classroom… When we made the decision to homeschool 18 months ago I was trying to figure out where to put our school stuff.. The only room with enough plain wall space was the laundry room and since we are in there doing laundry daily it made sense… it is also one of the few spaces with lots of metal surfaces for magnets… (washer and dryer both are metallic.)
The heart of our home is wherever I am! …usually the kitchen!
Congratulations on the new son-in-law and the dear little baby. We will pray for a safe pregnancy.
Thank you so much for writing this blog. It is a blessing to so many!
With Christ being the center of our family, the “center” of our home is the living room. We have such a small amount of space and every room enters into the living room. And we really put the LIVE in living room! We pretty much do everything in there. Our kitchen eating space is so tiny that we eat in the living room and save the table for school.
It’s really amazing… when you make Jesus Christ the center – the room you have is just enough!
I hope you win the contest. I’d say the heart of our home is the kitchen.
The heart of our home is the “supper table.” Now, with a busy family and most of the children are adults, it is not that often our schedules work to eat supper everyday. But the “supper table” I am talking about, is one that has endured all the changes life has given us. The supper table is the place we meet with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, where we “feast on His Word” and read and pray. Sometimes this is alone or with the whole family. This has been the heart of our home.
Your website has been an awesome inspiration. Thanks for all your work. Congratulations on your daughters wedding! We had our first daughter get married in March, 2009.
I agree as well.. my house is a small rundown building with thin walls and peeling paint, but in Christ, we all have a mansion, a home that never lets us down and which gives us a solid future! As for an actual part of our house, i’d be torn between the dining room where we share 3 meals a day and great conversation and have announced babies and laughed and cried, and our bedroom, where i have nursed my new twin boys almost continually since they were born, where dh and i cuddle up and watch a movie, where i scrap, etc.
The Kitchen and family room. But we also have a very large covered back porch with a huge granite patio table (seats 8-10). We end up eating there most meals and sitting after meals to watch the kids play in the back yard. The heart of our home is sharing Christ day in, day out.
Malia- Your site and your newsletters have blessed our family and encouraged me to share so many things with my own children that I don’t think I would have thought to. I have shared your articles and your site with so many in our home school support group and we mom’s love to get together and talk about what we just learned from your site.
God bless your new additions to the family! You are all in our prayers. Best wishes for all.
J.
Thanks for a good post on the heart of the home. Ours is the kitchen, although the living room comes in a close second.
Wonderful article Malia! Our hearts are with Jesus and He’s the heart of our home too! Thanks for sharing your wonderful thoughts from your heart!
Because Christ is the center of our home, the heart of our home is anywhere we are all together. Often the kitchen and living room but also in the dining room, backyard or Saturday morning group snuggle time
.
Have a blessed day!
Susan
so excited about all the good news! Your family has been such a blessing to mine, Thank you!
Congratulations on the wedding & on your new blessing also!!
We try to make Christ the Heart of our home but we definitely need to do a better job…
The room that is the heart of our home is our living room. This is where we are most of the time.. Where we sit & talk, I read to the family, many days my children do school at the coffee table. This is where my husband plays & wrestles w/his sons very often! =oD Hope you win!
The heart of our home is our living room.We do school there, watch movies, relax and all sorts of other things. Hope that Christina and Jonothan win the washer/dryer set.
I love how another person put it earlier on the postings list:”The “heart’ of our home is Jesus Christ. The “hub” of our home is the dining room.” Our “hub” would be the back part of the house, which includes the kitchen and family room. This is where the family eats and visits about their day, where my kids help me cook, where we have pajama parties and eat popcorn and M&M’s while watching a movie on a Friday night, where we visit with our friends and family.
Good luck on the contest!
The heart of my home? Jesus Christ. We try to keep him center. We are often not successful. Sometimes the center is actually my son. Or daughter. Or the TV. Or the computer. Or me, me, me. But blogs like this help bring me back. Thank you.
Hear of our home is Christ and the
church and Home. We make try to make the most of all those.
I’d have to say the heart of our home is also the kitchen. When family comes to visit, we usually stand around the center island while I am preparing the meal. The kids come and find me there while they are working on school work in the adjacent room. It is, by far, my favorite room in the house!
Great post, Malia! I enjoy your blog. And congratulations to Christina too!
Thanks for all the wonderful ideas. The heart of our home has to be the livingroom/diningroom. It is where we all gether to enjoy one another. Congrats on the two new additions coming into your home!!!
The heart of our home is the kitchen, where we gather around the table for meals and to share the day’s happenings. Congratulations on all your good news!
The heart of our home is my husband. He is a dear, godly man who lives to serve God. He draws the family with him to ministries, blesses us with ‘goodies’, teaches us at family altar, plans good things for us, and fervently prays for us. I can’t imagine what our family would be like without him! He has long talks to the children when they need someone to come along side and meet them where they are. He can be stern when sternness is needed and can keep things running smoothly. Everything is better when Daddy is here. He is the heart of our home, like his father was the heart of his home before him. I praise the Lord for him.
The heart of our home would be the kitchen. It is where we spend most time, but the 2nd would be our bedroom. This is where we have our heart to heart discussions with our kids. It is also where we spend time praying with our kids.
God is also the heart of our home. As for physical space though, our living room is the heart. We have cozy reclining couches and (in the winter) a warm fire going in the fireplace. This is where we have family discussions, play games, watch movies, recline for a mid-afternoon nap, have company, fold laundry, do homework, and (for me the teacher) grade papers.
Our house is broken up so that we spend equal portions in so many rooms. I’m hoping to knock out a wall and change that
When I think of the heart of our home, though, I think of the things that I hope my children will remember–things like singing and reading together and sharing the love of Christ.
Christ is the heart of our home! We spend the majority of our time in the living room and a close second would be the dining room/classroom! These two rooms are connected so it is all one big space. Hope you win this contest!
We are blessed to have a “sun” room on the west side of our home we love having our meals out there, it is where we do much of our school and where we visit with friends as there are three sides of windows to bring in a wonderful breeze and a toasty fireplace for the chilly winter (we are in the artic…Michigan!)
I would have to say its the dinner table where we eat meals together. The dinner table is where we start our day with physical and spiritual food. We often do school at the dinner table. And at the end of the day, Dad joins us there for dinner. The dinner table is where we often play games together. My favorite times is when laughter fills the room.
As a famiily we try to make Christ the center of our home.
But the location in our home where we meet the most for our ‘activities’ is the living room. We have school in there, have family movie night, read, visit with friends, turn into a sick room, and sometimes eat in there.
Thank you for sharing how you made your living room a more inviting space. I think that mine could use a facelift, especially now that I realize how much we use it.
Blessings to you for you wonderful news, and to the young couple.
Christ is the heart of our home too! In our house it’s a toss up between the kitchen and the livingroom. Having gone through many used and on their last leg washer and dryers I know what a blessing it would be to win the contest. Here’s hoping they do.
Praise Jesus!! It is so important for Him to be the heart of our home!
congrats to your daughter, husband and your family. Hope they win!
As so many others have commented, our kitchen, dining room, and living room are the hub of our home. Everyone can be there at one time. You can’t really be a family with everyone is separate places. This is where we congregate and relate. I love it – even if it leaves mess after mess to clean up!
I’d say our kitchen is the heart of our home. We most often eat dinner together there and gather for Bible time & school work. Our oldest comes home from school and does homework there. We play games at the table(which our youngest and Grandma are doing right now!) and sit down to figure things out and have talks.
Jesus lives through us and has blessed us with his love and peace! He makes our family what it should be!
The kitchen is the heart of our home. We gather there for meals, for cooking fabulous treats, for sharing our day, and for enjoying being the family the Lord allows us to be!
Wow what a lot of comments!!!!
Congratulations to you and to your daughter! Good luck in the contest.
Christ is the Heart of our Home and our favorite room is the kitchen since most of our activities are centered in this room such as: prepare meals, eat, sit down for desserts and a chat, make candies, bake, read, board games, do school, art projects, science projects, family meetings, family prayer & devotions, club meetings, visit with guests, or watch the birds in the feeders out in the back yard.
Malia,
I sure enjoy reading your emails and blog. The heart of our home is whereever we are all gathered together, with the LORD to protect us. Congratulations on all your exciting family events coming up–I can’t imagine having a daughter old enough to be getting married, and having a new one join the family in the same year’s time!
The heart of our home is the kitchen. If everything is right in the kitchen then everything is right in the rest of the house.
The kitchen table is the physical heart of our home.
What a sweet mom you are! Blessings!
By His grace, Jesus is the heartbeat of this family. We also enjoy sitting around our fireplace for games, stories and just plain family conversations.
I am pulling for you!! What a great gift for your daughter and her husband to be!!
Our hub is the LR/Dining Room. When I was growing up, and even when I go to my parents’ home to viist, the gathering place is in the kitchen around the big table. Must be something about those home cooked meals that draw us together there.
The heart of our home is the dining room. That is where we do our devotions, eat meals and have many fun family game nights.
Best wishes to all
The heart of our home is the living room/dining room/kitchen (they’re all connected). Sometimes someone will be playing the piano in the living room while other family members are talking or working at the dining room table while someone else is cooking.
By God’s grace, Jesus fills our hearts and in our homes the center, or heart, is our kitchen. This is where we nourish each others’ heart as we seek to nourish our physical bodies.
The heart of our home has to be the kitchen/dining room. That’s where meals, laughter, silliness, school work, prayers and family fun take place!
Malia,
This is why i love reading your blog and your emails. You make Christ the center, while sharing the struggles we all have as followers of Him. Please continue to encourage us all in your writing!
Jesus said whenever 2 or more are gathered in my name, I am there with them. His presence gives us grace to face each day together as a family. Our family time is spent in our “library” room snuggling on the couch and reading great books together.
Christ is not only the heart of the home but my Lord and Savior. Without Him I would not have a home or a family. All through my life He has never left me. HE is truly the heart of the world.
Wishing you all God’s best!
Love your web sites!
The heart of our home “wordly” speaking is actually movable! We homechurch in the family room down stairs. We talk and chat in the kitchen during meals, We do school all throughout the house depending on the lesson. We read and pray at night in the kids rooms or in the family room. The computer is in the living room – so we gather there. Our love follows us through out the day! I really hope your daughter gets the new set of appliances!! Our family will be praying for yours and baby!
The heart of our home is the kitchen. It seems everyone gravitates there. Come in the back door or the front – wherever you are on your spiritual journey you are welcome.
We will enjoy the new Grandson-in-law and the new grandbaby! Thank you for many blessings!
Wow, Malia, you’re getting lots and lots of comments. Hope you’re able to win the w/d…that would be a fantastic wedding gift.
Congratulations, too, on your own exciting news!
By God’s grace, Who sent His own Son to die in my stead, I owe every heartbeat and breath to Him. In my human flesh, I often fail to remember that, but His Spirit lovingly and unfailingly calls me back to right thinking and living again. What a Savior!
Malia, I just discovered your website this week and want to thank you for all your hard work and love put into sharing valuable homemaking experience that inspires and educates readers to be the help meets God calls us to be. Jesus is the Heart of our home and our living room/dining room is the gathering place for Bible study, school, meals, games, reading aloud, movie night, and occasional kid campouts. May god bless your daughter’s marriage and your pregnancy.
Christ is the heart of our home! Praying God will bless your family as you have blessed ours through your heart for others!
The heart of our home is our family bible reading. I just love to see the light of Christ going into my children’s minds.
Thank you so much for the article! Our home’s centre should always be JESUS!
I am only a few years removed from being a newly married woman and I remember how wonderful it was to get our hand-me-down washer and dryer (one from either set of parents so they were a little mis-matched but they worked and that’s all that really mattered). I hope you are able to win this for your daughter.
Great post! I wish you the best in everything.
The heart of our home is our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with a beautiful kitchen and plenty of food — where we all seem to spend the most time! : )
This is sooo true! Christ is the center of our home too and it makes it a peaceful and joyful place to live and to bring our foster children into after all the horrors they have lived through in other homes! The living room would be the heart of this home room wise as well. We have a large lounge diner and it is where the kids play, we fellowship with friends, we relax, and it too is the ‘sick’ room in our house! Sofa’s and videos are a great combo when they are sick aren’t they? LOL!
Jesus is the center of our home…and living within our hearts.
The other “heart of the home” is our kitchen; where comfort food, and comfort is prepared daily!
The heart of our home is our living room. Thinking of you and wishing you well!
With Love, Jane xxx
wow one getting married and now you crazy good for you
God blessed me with a wonderful family. Wherever my husband and sons are gathered is the heart of our home.
The physical heart of our home has to be the fireplace room, which is the small part of the L that makes up our living room.
how wonderful that your thoughts turned right to the Lord! when i heard this question (at another blog) i thought of a room. i never thought to take it in the direction of God. i hope you win. praying for your new baby and your daughters marriage!
Jesus heart of home!
The heart of our home is love, and you’ll usually find our herd dog right in the middle of the group. Neat website! All the best to your daughter and her husband-to-be. Liz
The heart of our home is God and his word….we are new Christians, and this is a learning process.
The “hub” of our home is the kitchen. I spend most of my time here, and this is where the kids gather to do their schoolwork.
Good luck in the contest.
Our favorite room in the house is our dining room. It’s where we eat, play games and where I school our 3 sons. And with windows all around it’s a relaxing place just to sit and appreciate the beautiful mountains God blessed us to live in.
I hope you win! Our house is small and we use each room equally, so I couldn’t really say we have a specific room that is the heart of our home. We’ve talked together around the dining room table, made cookies together in the kitchen, read books together in the living room, had talks while giving baths in the bathroom, had great discussions and soothed babies to sleep in the kid’s bedroom/schoolroom and had wonderful talks together with my husband and I in the late hours in our bedroom. We’ve even learned a lot about working together while cleaning the basement as a family. I can’t choose just one!
The heart of our home–the Lord Jesus Christ! Which room? Wherever we are at the time, for learning, mealtime, devotionals, rest, and cleaning- every area of our home is blessed by His presence. When I’m washing/drying clothes? Absolutely for me that is a bit of private time! Thank you Malia and congratulations to your entire family.
the heart of our home is where ever we’re all together.
THe heart of our home is the living room. It is were we visit, homeschool, rest and play games. With 4 boys, a lot of wrestling occurs there too! I love the idea of de-cluttering the area. Right now we are blessed to have a bouncy chair,2 little rocking chairs, an baby swing in there. And soon we will have a crawling baby, so I am sure we will be de-cluttering the bottom shelves very soon!
Congratulations on your little one, I will be praying for you both!
Jen
Many blessing to you and many thanks for your encouraging words!
I hope you win!!! Congratulations on your daughters upcoming marriage.
Christ is the center of our home! We live and learn as he would have us in our living room. It is a cozy room, but admittedly gets cluttered quickly. We don’t have a den, so we do all our learning, entertaining, and relaxing in that room. We actually have a classroom set up, but that has ended up being a “prep and storage” workroom. We prefer learning in the comfort of the living room.
Sent my last comment too soon!! Hope you win the appliances and congratulations on the impending addition of TWO new members of your family!!
I wquld say the dining room and kitchen are the heart of our home. It is where everyone ends up when there is a gathering and also where we spend most of our family time.
Christ is the center of our home as well. As for a physical gathering place, I would say the kitchen is the center in that respect, since that is where our family and guests are together in one body the most often. And where the most talking and laughing goes on.
Christ is the heart of our home. Without him, we wouldn’t have a home. The heart of our house is the kitchen. No matter how nice and comfy I make the living room, everyone gathers in the kitchen.
Jesus Christ will always be the center of everything that we do! Praise and thanksgiving goes to our saviour so that we are able to have a wonderful home to enjoy with our family. The heart of our home is the kitchen, where we cook, homeschool, and congregate much of the time. Congrats to your family on the wonderful events in your lives!
The heart of our home is our kitchen table. We love the time we spend there talking, playing games, eating, sharing, and schooling. I believe it is the place in our house where we meet to grow closer to each other and to Christ. Often times we read our scriptures there and our little ones work on activities that bring us closer to each other and to Christ. The love and peace that’s felt there is so comforting!
Congratulations to both you and your daughter!!
On Saturday mornings, the heart of our home is our bed. That’s where my husband and I and our three boys can be found.
Our center of our home is Jesus Christ. As we seek to follow Him every day, we use the living room as the physical center of our home. We are using it for many things right now, including school and family time.
May Christ bless you all as you seek to know and serve Him.
The heart of our is Jesus. The center of our home is my husband and the hub of our home is the sunroom. We do everything in here. OUr books, TV, comfy furniture, dog and office are all here. We homeschool, have daily devotions, family meetings and play in the sunroom. Everyone ends up in this room and most start the day here. Malia, I hope you win the washer and dryer.
The heart of our home is our family room. It is where we all are most of the time and Jesus is the ruler of our heart.
What a beautiful truth, that Christ is the heart of all we do, including running our lives and home. the physical heart of our home is what ever room we land in as a group with a book or puzzle – often our living room or kitchen table….but sometimes a bedroom floor or mom and dad’s bed!
The room that is the heart of our home is the kitchen/living room w/fireplace. The real heart of our home is Christ. Without Him we wouldn’t be here.
Wow! What a great opportunity to start a young couple’s new home with new appliances. Good luck. I hope you win. Congratulations to your daughter and son-in-law and to you as a family on your great news x2.
The heart of our home is probably our living room as well. We all have our comfortable spot and our computers are there too. It seems that is where we spend the most time.
Blessings, Theresa
The heart of our home is the dining room. Although we have a small dining room table (only seats four) it’s big enough for us. We do our school there and play games there as well. Best wishes to Christina and may God bless her home as well. May God always be the Heart of Her Home!
Christ is the center of our home as well, which has never been made more clear than now when we are in the middle of a transition in our lives, and we currently live in a hotel. A home is not the walls around us, but being together and having Christ at the center.
THe heart of our home is Christ. Our physical home is a long ranch construction, and the family room, kitchen and dining room run together in a long 40 foot “galley” type situation. My huaband put his computer on the peninsula in our kitchen, because though it’s unsightly, he can be close to me and we can talk while we’re going about feeding our children and family, making food for church fellowships, and preparing for guests, which we try to have at least once a week. This area is where we spend most of our time and have most of our interaction.
Christ is the heart of our home. We truly try to glorify Him in all that we do, think and say. The physical center of our home would be our kitchen/dining area. We homeschool around the table. The kids sit at the breakfast bar and chat while I am cooking. At times the kitchen is so full- I have a hard time getting my cooking done!
The place where we all gather is the kitchen. It’s the first room you enter when coming in and where there is food, there are people gathered around. Making Christ the heart of your home is the only way to truly have a peaceful home. God bless you, Christina and Jonathan!
Congratulations Malia! The heart of our home is certainly the LR…it is where we gather as a family to start our homeschool day, read our bibles, snuggle on the couch. It’s where I have my quiet time and where the hubby and I reconnect after a long day!
Our heart is the kitchen in which we eat, read, school, pray, play legos, and share our time.
The heart of our home would have to be the kitchen. It’s just me and all boys around here, so we do spend a great deal of time eating, talking and just plain goofing around in our kitchen. Fun times!
What a great gift that would be and a wonderful way to share Christ with so many people! I am pulling for you and will add a link to my blog!
God has blessed me with a wonderful husband and 2 great sons. Our supper table is the heart of the home, where we gather each night for supper, talk about our day and bible study.
Wow! What a great opportunity for Christina & Jonathon! I hope you win this for them – what a blessing it would be!
! But if I had to pick – I think I would pick the LR/DR.
As for our home – it is hard to pick just one place to call the heart of our home – we curl up together on the sofas, we sit around the table chatting, we prepare meals together – we just always seem to be in close proximity
Good luck!
The heart of our home is the people in it! My husband and 6 kids at home (3 have grown and moved) and I are happy to live in a mobile home in beautiful NW Alabama. It is small and the kitchen, dining table and living room are all within sight of each other. It’s crowded, but it’s paid for and we are thankful to the Lord for that!
The heart of our home is where we sit down to eat, now most of the time this is in our kitchen, but at times it may be out at a restaurant, car, or picnic table outside or park. What truly makes it the heart of our home is not the location but what transpires during that time. For us it is where things are prepared with love and thanksgiving, where my family prays and thanks God for the blessing of nurishment. It is time to fellowship. My children are still very young so they are learning (as are we as parents) what wonderful opportunities can take place with fellowship, not only with each other but internally as well. Our kitchen has become a place to learn fullfillment not only in our bodies but also in the first steps to growing in our relationship to Christ, through that prayer and conversation.
The heart of our home is the kitchen. Common I know but it truly is the place were everyone congregates, whether just us, family, or friends. Despite having a “schoolroom” we end up doing most of our homeschooling at the kitchen table! My desk is the place I keep all my “stuff” but I still pay bills and work on my laptop in the kitchen. Maybe it has to do with our love of food!
I hope you win this incredible blessing for your daughter but if not then at least they have “won” each other! What could be better than that!
The heart of our home is the living room.
Yeah & yeah! two new addtions to your family almost at the same time . I agree totally Christ is the heart of our home . We center all our efforts on what would please him and honor him . Our home is truely more peaceful and runs much smoother since our focus has turned from the world and tuned into centering on Christ. Blessings.
The heart of our home is the kitchen. My kids sit at the island and we make food together, eat together and talk about life and grow together in our faith in Jesus. We are increasingly there these days as we have 2 kids with newly diagnosed food intolerances. We are so thankful to have a kitchen to prepare the food we need to keep our whole family healthy!
“Every good and perfect thing is from above” and you have been abundantly blessed. Thank you for sharing the blessings and for all the wonderful help you give to us through your web-site.
The kitchen is the heart of our home. We cook talk about life etc,. etc. May the Lord bless these two young people…
Congratulations! The heart of our home would be the living room it is were everyone gathers together to hang out. The 2nd would have to be my sons room that is were we read our Bible study discuss the word and pray
What a wonderful idea!!
Well, the heart of our home is the kitchen/dining room. It is comfy and usually filled with nutritious food and hungry children. We see and taste, literally, Gods provision for our family there. We have wonderful conversation around our table and welcome many guests there, It is filled with laughter and even singing.
I love to “talk” my Christian friends without even leaving the house. Thank you for being there. Blessings on the upcoming wedding!
The heart of our home (at least physically speaking) is definately our kitchen. We love to be in the kitchen cooking and talking and doing school and playing games. I hope your daughter and soon to be son in law win the contest
I hope this works for you.
The heart of our home is usually our family room. We watch family movies together while eating popcorn and, for me, working a puzzle on the tall kitchen table that has 6 chairs. We bring company to this room. It has a large comfortable sofa and two comfortable chairs. We were given a large flat-screen tv so it’s in there as well and fun to watch our movies or Sky Angel programs on. We are surrounded by books in this room so it’s very cozy for reading. God bless your efforts on behalf of your daughter and ‘new’ son!
What a great idea!
God bless you for blessing your daughter and her fututre husband. You are also setting a wonderful example.
The heart of our home is wherever we all are, and that’s usually the living room!
Congrats on the wedding and pregnancy. The little one has the best home right now in a warm, nourishing womb. So thankful God put it on your heart to have a wonderful home for your family and to help others do the same.
My family is beginning to work on putting Christ at the center of our lives and home. As far as our favorite gathering spot, it is just outside my back door. My backyard is the space where my children play, laugh, giggle, run, jump, hide, and enjoy being young. It is the place where family and friends gather for celebrations and cook outs. My backyard is home to many campout staycations and smore roasts. It is home to numerous butterfly plants and a brand new veggie garden. It is ever changing but remains the heart of our home.
What a wonderful give away. What a blessing to a newly married couple!
Jesus is certainly the center of our home, however, when He is replaced by business, tiredness or laziness, there is a definite change in atmosphrere of our home. The peace is gone and frustration, fighting, and overwhelming feelings take over. I am so glad that Jesus gives us His new mercies every morning and each new day is a blessing from Him.
I like the idea of redoing a room using what you already have in creative ways, Thanks for sharing. God Bless you and your family!
The heart of our home is THE LORD JESUS!!! John 6:20 “It is I. Do not be afraid”
The heart of our home is the kitchen and the family room.
Good luck! I hope you are able to win the washer/dryer set for the newlyweds!
Blessings~
Laura
The heart of our home is also the kitchen. We have a large kitchen and it seems something is always baking. Everyone seems to always end up in the kitchen for coffee and a baked treat.
That is a fantastic and thoughtful idea
May the soon to be married couple have a blessed marriage.
The heart of the home is indeed Christ. The next heart is probably my kitchen/living room.
Congrats to you on the baby (pregnant too here.), and on the upcoming nuptials for your daughter.
Hi Malia,
I’ve been subscribed to your posts for awhile. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your home and family. Sounds wonderful to be able to give such a lovely gift. Hope you get it. Also want to say congratulations on your new blessing, I pray that God will keep you all well, God bless you, Linda.
I love your blog! Your family is so inspiring!!
Its a toss up where which room I would choose to be the heart:
The kitchen is where I prepare all the meals for my family, pack all the lunches for my family, etc etc
The livingroom is where we all pile on the couches, curl up under blankets and snuggle while watching a movie
Our bedroom is where the kids gather and we all stretch out on the bed and just talk and talk- about serious issues, about everyday occurances, about funny things that go on in and around our home we laugh, giggle and just be silly together
I would have to say honestly that the center of my home is which ever room my family is in at the time, each room serves a unique job to my family, whether its nourishing their bodies with food, or nourishing their mind or their emotional well being, Our home is filled with love and its a great place to be!!
Congratulations on the wedding and your newest blessing!
The heart of our home is Christ. The other heart of our home is the dining room. Just about the only time we are all together as a family is when we sit down to eat and then have Bible study together while the little ones are finishing up their dinner. We spend hours eating, talking, studying, and praying together around our dining table.
As long as the bride and groom are joined into a three cord strand with Christ as the third cord binding them together, that will be the heart of their home wherever they may be! Blessings!
What a wonderful way to bless the new couple. How exciting if you win and God gets glorified in it!
The heart(s) of my home are the Lord Jesus Christ (spiritually) and the living room/ dining room. It’s actually one big space visually divided by the sofa. In this space we have our school lessons, play games, share secrets and tickles, pray together, work out disagreements, greet visitors, create art and science projects, laugh, and read together.
Congratulations and Good Luck
Christ is the heart AND the head of our home! But we spend most of our time together in the kitchen!!
I agree totally Christ is the heart of our home . As for where we hang out–for me, my husband and the kids, it is our bedroom (we love to cuddle up and talk about everything–and nothing!). For family and friends, I would have to say either our living room or our back patio.
The heart of our home is the family room…it’s where we do most everything: read, art, play games, talk etc. And like you, it’s the room where even sick ones hang out because it feels so familiar and comfortable. Hope you win this washer/dryer set for your daughter.
Congratulations to Christina and Jonathon. I hope you win this special gift for them!
Besides Christ being the heart of our home, the Kitchen is where it is at. We eat our meals together, play games together and all of our guests congregate there.
THe heart of our home is the kitchen not only can we feed our tummys , but its where we feed our minds and souls as well! Congratulations on all your recent blessings!
Christ is definitely the heart of our home as well though the diningroom where we gather for morning prayer and Bible study, eat meals together, do school work at the table, and use the family computer serves as mission control for the family.
I love the encouraging articles you write. They are a blessing to me and my family. I hope you win the w & d set for your daughter and her future husband. What a great gift!
God Bless!
The heart of our home is Christ. But our living room is the room in our home where everyone always congregates – for school, for fellowship, if someone is sick, for reading, for family movie nights….
Congratulations on your pregnancy and upcoming wedding! How fun! I think the heart of our home physically is our kitchen.
Most of all, Christ is the Heart of Our Home. But, the Living Room is where wespend the main part of our day. It’s where we eat (the dining table is in there), do our schoolwork, watch movies, read books together, study God’s Word, and where I do my bills, and emails, and blogging, and coupon searching. I hope you win for your children! That would be wonderful! Congrats on the new baby! May he/she be healthy and strong!
I am glad for the opportunity to consider where the heart of our home is. I liked your idea of starting with The Lord and how His heart in us influences everything that goes on in our home. In our home the dining room and living room share space. The dining room is at one end and the living room the other end. I would say the dining room is the heart. Most talking starts at the dining room table. It is also the place where we sit down to work if we are upstairs into where we extend counter space from the kitchen. The talk and activity that starts in the dining room often spreads out into the living room, either because more have joined us or because we want to be more comfortable while we talk. Thre are hard things dealt with as well as fun and cozy times. This joint room also has two large windows and a fireplace all of which make it more enjoyable and comfortable. It is also the room that looks like lots of family life goes on there. The children all practice and play the piano there, it seems everything we come into the house with spends some time there before being put away. It is the first room when we enter the house and we go through it as we pass from bedrooms to a meal, or downstairs to the family room, classroom, and office. If one were to sit at the dining room table they would see most all of our life pass before them. We have shared lots of life in the dining room from a family of 13 and the hustle and bustle which has now dwindled to a family of 7 with even more coming and going than any other time. I hope that we continue to meet in the dining room for many years and continue to have many more join us….more children-in-laws, grandchildren, friends, acquaintances. May the Lord continue to be the everpresent Guest at our Table.
Christ is definately the center of my home, and there is evidence of him in every room! The family likes to hang out in the kitchen, where there is food and shacks, the scheduling calendar on the refrigerator, mail on the counter and a place to do homework. Even the dog hangs out here where her food and water is found.
Malia, Thank you for this post today.
Christ is the center of our home also, he makes everything run smoothly, and when there are hic-ups in MY plans, Jesus reminds me that everything will be all right if I leave it to Him! Thank you Father for your MANY blessings daily!
The heart of our home in our house would have to be the living room. We play there, visit, Snuggle our hurts away, read, wrestle, eat and live there. That is where I rock my babies to sleep and nurse them back to health when they are not feeling well. We gather there when guests come in; it has the most comfortable seating. The children play in there, even though their rooms have plenty to do they drag the toys and puzzles to the living room to be near us. I do love it, even though it all has to be picked up before bedtime. I love to be surrounded by family and friends in our living room.
I’ve just discovered this website, and it’s wonderful!
I hope you win. The heart of my home is the Living Room and Kitchen area that is open to each other.
We love that you are doing this for Him. We feel that the heart of the home is Christ, but its the mamma who sets the tone. He is in all and is the head of all, and its our job to see that they all get to feel His love everywhere. We do most of our sharing in the kitchen though, we are definitely food people.We are very excited for you, and will pray for the upcoming events. Blessings Rachel
Thank you for sharing with us! I truly hope your daughter and her new husband to be are blessed with this washer and dryer!
Christ is the center of my life so I strive to appropriately set Him as the center of our home. It’s really easy to get caught up in the busyness of raising a family, but we try to start each day focusing on Christ. We pray our children love and commit their lives to our Heavenly Father each and every day.
We live in a tiny house in the city right now and with 3 children it’s hard to find a place we can all fit into.We do our schoolwork in the master bedroom and our eating is done mainly in the livingroom.We have just bought a new home on 11 acres, and we are so excited.I think the center of our home when we move may be in the beautiful outdoors.
Hi Malia, I love your letters to all of your Christian sisters out here. It brings us all a little closer.Its a huge blessing. I would have to say that the heart of my home is my kitchen. We do our schoolwork there ,share meals together,pray together and talk to one another. God bless, Jeannine
The Heart of our Home is the kitchen as it is where our dining table is…we gather to eat each meal together and play family games and also some arts & crafts for homeschooling. I love to bake and the kiddos are old enough now that they can help so we bake together as well. Christ is the center of our lives and we study Him and His Word at the start of each school day…I love learning right along side of the kids…getting a fresh view on His Word is wonderful. I hope your daughter and future husband are blessed with the new set!
Christ is indeed the heart of our spiritual home, but the kitchen is the heart of my physical home. First of all, it is in the middle of my house! Secondly, no matter what is going on in the house, if we are home, somone is in the kitchen: cooking, cleaning or “just looking for a snack” as my six year old says. Lastly, if we have company over (even during football) everyone seems to congreate in the kitchen.
Love your blog, congraulations to your daughter (and yourself). I hope you win!
Our home’s “heart” is the kitchen, for sure. The kitchen is where my husband and Ishare our plans for the day and our stories about the day that has passed. It is where my daughters and I share our thoughts and I am able to pour into them the importance of being a Proverbs 31 woman.
Hope you win the washer/dryer.
While Christ is the heart of the home, I currently find our home’s center around the time we can just sit on the floor or bed and discuss the good things god is doing or done for us.
Of course CHRIST is the heart of our home, but the heart of my house is the Dining room. With six boys to feed that’s where the action is!
Our kitchen/living room, with its many chicken-themed decorations, is the heart of our home. We greet each other in the morning around the kitchen island for breakfast. Most of our schooling is done in this room. It’s the first place guests gravitate to when we’re cooking dinner for a crowd, and its walls often ring with laughter or silly songs from my children as they play.
Thanks for a great article, Malia! Hope you win!
The kitchen is probably the physical heart (or maybe more properly the “hub”) of our home. Blessings!
I think the member of our family are the heart of our home, but Christ is definitely the center of our family. Our dining/school room is where most activity takes place, as our kitchen isn’t even big enough for a table! I am so excited for you to win this
Be blessed,
Danielle
Our house is built so that all the bedrooms are on the end and all the other rooms are all open and central. This allows us to live all together as a family. And hopefully, Christ is the center of all of our family life; that is for what we strive. Thanks!
I just found your blog today. We are in the process of establishing the physical heart of our home, as it has not been “our” home until recently. Before then, it was very much my mil’s home, & there was no real heart for us for 10 years. If Christ had not been the heart, our family would have fallen apart. It is looking as if the physical heart will be the entire first floor, which is living room, dining room & kitchen in a fairly open space. My mil has passed away, & we are buying the home, & have yet to rearrange things.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the first heart of the home – for out of our relationship with Him – comes all things. I feel that after our relationships with God – the heart of the home – is the relationship between the Husband and Wife – it sets the tone for the family. No matter which room we may be in at any given time – children learn so much from seeing the relationship Dad and Mom shares – that I feel that it is the heart of the home if it is a relationship build on God’s Word and view of Marriage.
Wonderful post, Malia. And such great comments so far. Here’s another one to get you that much closer.
The heart of our home is the kitchen/dining/school room. I banished my living room to our basement and took over that space for our school room/dining room which is connected to our eat-in kitchen with just a small wall separating the two spaces. We spend most of our time in these two spaces and we even stopped watching TV almost all together which led to the decision to cancel satellite service. Now we are saving $70 a month which can be used for more interactive types of entertainment or savings. It has changed our whole lifestyle, I think for the better. Now we just spend Friday or Saturday night in the living room playing games or watching a movie for family night. Plus, we now have seating for 16 between our kitchen and school room with leaves in both tables.
The heart of our home is always God. Then it would be my great hubby.
Good luck to the newly weds. And Thank you for your blog, I’ve learned alot.
Christ is the heart of our home. The living room is the hub of our home too. We gather there to talk, play games, work with yarn and do each our own thing. I really hope that your daughter gets the washer and dryer. It is wonderful to see and mom trying to get something practical for their future home.
God Bless
samsung makes pretty good washers these kids should have one.
Christ the rock for the home and for life
Jesus Christ is the Heart of my Home. Good Luck with the contest, and many blessings from a newlywed husband!
The heard of our home is our living room. It has almost everything in it. School books, laundry, toys, food (unfortunately), television, mini trampoline, aquariam, lot of books, Bible, computer, etc. I am wanting to declutter so much. I will be working on it soon.
We would be better off if everyone made Jesus Christ the Heart of their homes & Lord of their lives! Oh, how the world needs Him so very much. It is so sad how the people he created to love Him have ran from Him & often are doing the opposite.
Keep us updated on all the details..wedding, baby, contest.. You have lots of exciting things going on!
The heart of our home is Christ and the living room. But when its cooler, we hang out in the kitchen and bake.
Hope you win!
Here’s to hoping you win!! That would be a wonderful gift to young newlyweds!!
The heart of our home is the kitchen/supper table.
The kitchen is the heart of our home. Christ is the heart of our lives!
We have moved twice this past year and are now living in a house with a wide open floor plan. The living room opens into the kitchen and the dining room. The second floor loft also looks down into this space. So except for the bedrooms (and bathrooms) there are no walls – I love it! So I would say the heart of our home is wherever we are altogether. It is not really a physical place but an emotional one – when we are all together sharing the joys and blessings of life.
I think our family room is the “heart” of our home. The place to hang out together! Malia–I so appreciate you and your website!
The heart of our home is the dining room. This is where we do most of our talking and projects. It is where we congregate when the children and grandchildren visit. This is where my friend and I sew and talk about the Lord and discuss scriptures and just be together. I love the time I spend in my dining room and the memories that are made there.
Thanks for such a great post!
Our home is new to us, so we haven’t clung to one room yet. W e do however have Jesus in our hearts and that is enough to fill us and could be our hearts of our home.
We have our best family times outside! Although, inside the house we have most of our family time around the kitchen table.
The heart of our home is the living room too, we do almost everything here, watch movies together, laugh over a good comedy together, sometimes we eat together here too, my mom does her make-up here, I do my reading here, my brother plays and does his homework here…this is really the busiest part in the entire house, we also receive guests here, loved ones and friends alike…oh and I sleep here most of the time too eversince I started working nights, even though I’m working days already, still haven’t given up my most favorite room of all…
the heart of our home is the living room/dining room…they are open to each other and in a small house it is natural for us to “congregate” there.
I so agree! The heart of the home is the living room–and ours is open to the dining room–both are vital–this w/e I have been decluttering and cleaning and this just spurs me on more–I have not kept up like I should–cannot wait for it to be as it should–a relaxing place to share ideas. Good luck in the contest too! congrats to your dd!
The heart of our home is my Godly husband. He leads his wife and children by example, sacrifice, and his love of Jesus Christ. He keeps our family focused on God and His Word.
Good luck on the contest, congratulations on your daughter’s upcoming marriage, and blessings on the new life you’re expecting!
The living room is also a favorite room at our home.
Congratulations on your daughter’s upcoming wedding!
The heart of our home is the livingroom as well. That is where we spend most of our time together snuggling on the couch reading tons and tons of books together.
Congratulations to Christina and Jonathan… and I hope you win!
