"The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down." Proverbs 14:1
Welcome back those who skipped the weekend "coffee" and others who stayed on thru' the weekend too. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Here on the East coast we are running out of warm weekends and so squeezing to get most things done has become our priority.
For today's coffee, let's focus on the verse, The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. Let's consider a puzzle board, what is easy to do, building up or tearing down? I am sure you will all agree tearing down is easy to do than building up as in tearing down we don't really care how each piece falls, the mess it creates etc. However when we build up something, more care is needed to put the pieces in order.
We as women have greater responsibility in building up our homes, one heart at a time. It is a tedious process I agree. It gets difficult at times and we feel like tearing it all down... trust me it will be more hard to put things back together than fixing the single area that needs attention.
Keeping peace in the family should be every home maker's primary focus - of course peace in alignment with God's Word. Agree, men too have the same responsibility, but it falls on the mothers and wives more. Thrashing seems easy to do but always results in pain, building results in joy through hard labor. If we set a role model as thrashers, it is hard to expect our children to be builders.
The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. What is your call?

When asked to share part of my testimony I used this scripture. I've learned from experience if we don't keep our eyes on Jesus it's very easy to get side tracked by life. When that happens we not only destroy our house but everyone in it. We must keep our eyes on Him. Thanks for the coffee! Blessings, Wendy
This is so true, I've seen in my own life that it is much harder to undo the damage done to home life, once someone begins to tear it down.
Thank you @Wendy and @Emily Joyce. Appreciate your sharing.
