    MOMents with Lori & Lee Ann – How to Make Your Home a Reflection of Heaven on Earth
    May 23 2024
    “But to make our home a reflection of heaven on earth, we also need to be thinking about God's characteristics, who he is, and how we can demonstrate that in our homes. How can we ultimately have a sense of security, a sense of peace and protection, a sense of order?” – Lori Wildenberg. Once a month, Lori and Lee Ann will discuss complex topics regarding parenting and disciplining. Lori Wildenberg is a national speaker, a licensed parent-family educator of over 25 years, and an award-winning author of six Christian parenting books. Lori also leads the popular Moms Together Facebook Community Page and Group. During this episode of MOMents with Lori and LeeAnn, both ladies discuss how you can make your home a reflection of heaven on earth. They explore spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects, emphasizing the importance of prayer, meditation, and modeling virtuous behavior for our children. Key Takeaways: Demonstrating God's characteristics and encouraging the Fruits of the Spirit. Modeling a close relationship with God and including children in spiritual practices like singing praise and praying. Being able to manage fear, anger, and sadness. Reflecting God's holiness in emotional responses. Building trust in God during challenging situations. Physically, room by room, anointing oil and praying over each room. Incorporating scripture and crosses in the home. Placing plaques and Bible verses throughout the home to create visual reminders of Jesus. Emphasizing the importance of forgiveness in the home environment. “I do believe the reason that God has given us the emotion of anger is so that we can understand what perhaps injustice looks like for someone else, see that we can stand up to that bully. Things like that, those are good things. That's a good way to express anger. That's a holy way.” – Lori Wildenberg.
