Creating a peaceful environment takes work. My mom made her home welcoming to all; she taught me to do the same. Maintaining an orderly household and keeping things neat pleases Ron and makes him want to come home after a long day\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a welcoming environment, and people will come.

Peaceful families keep the Lord at their center, following His commandments to develop a refuge for those living there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Promote peace today, don\u2019t allow quarreling to push people away.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1-300x39.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lord, thank You for guiding us to develop a peaceful household for our families.
