It’s essential to cultivate that environment and grow together in faith. Whether we are sharing moments of joy, seeking wisdom, or offering hospitality, we shape our spaces to honor both God and those we love.
Let us remember to invite God’s presence into our homes and allow His teachings to guide our interactions with one another.
