Making Your Home a Haven Challenge - Week 1

I am so excited to start week one of Women Living Well's Fall Challenge - Making Your Home a Haven.  This weeks challenge is:

Go buy a large candle and light it everyday in your home.  Each time the candle catches your eye, say a prayer for peace in your home. 

I love this idea!  I went to Bed Bath and Beyond today, and bought three new fall scented candles.  Tonight, I lit the Yankee Candle Autumn Wreath 22oz Jar.  It smells amazing!  Hubby noticed it and liked the smell immediately.  And I love the idea of saying a prayer for peace in our home each time I see it.  I placed in on our bar in the kitchen, because it is the center of our home.

Please take a moment to visit Courtney's blog and read about the two types of homes that we create as women.  I do not have children yet, so I can't relate to all of these, but I definitely recognize that it is me, my actions, and my attitude that set the tone for our home.  And, I want it to be a home that my husband cannot wait to get home to, feels comfortable in, and sees as his haven.  I'm working on it :)

I want to be like the Proverbs 14:1 woman that Courtney references, "The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands, the foolish one tears hers down".
