Home is a freshly painted wall, a dusted guitar, and dogs who make themselves very comfortable. 🧡🐾
Bruce went exploring in the woods and came home wearing his warrior paint. Every warrior needs a place to come home—and this little mess belongs here. 😂
Some of my favorite things carry stories: the plant stand Mamma bought at a yard sale when I was eight, and the peace lily from my favorite chiropractor, Dr. Joe, when he closed his office. Old memories, fresh paint, and a whole lot of home.
Today’s message from Pastor Mark reminded me that revival belongs in our daily lives. We need to pick up God’s Word, repent and return to the Lord, and seek the peace and joy that come from Him.
For me, that means learning from His Word, letting my actions speak louder, and reminding my community how much God loves them. He loves us unconditionally.
“Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” — Psalm 85:6, KJV
That is my prayer today. Lord, revive our hearts. Help us make room for You every day.
What little corner of your home brings you peace? Tell me below. 🧡

PSALM 85 · KING JAMES VERSION
LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
