Home for Christmas Proverbs

Christmas is the time that we throw large extended  family into one small house (home) and hope for the best.

Psalms 127:1  Except the  Lord build the house, (home). your labor is in vain.

With all the work that goes into preparing the house (home), remember, that without the Lord being in  the center,  it is all in vain.

Proverbs 17:1 Better is a morsel with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting with strife
.
Try to be the vessel for peace and joy and not strife and argument.

Proverbs 17:9, 14
 9-He who forgives an offense , seeks love, but he who brings up a matter and nags about it causes division.
14-It is hard to stop a quarrel once it starts, so don;t let it begin.

Forgive offences of the past and enjoy you time together.

Now for the best part of family gatherings

Psalms 127:3- Children are a legacy and heritage, a gift from God.  They are his reward.
Proverbs 17:6-Grandchildren are the crown of old age.

Enjoy your family this Christmas
