Good Kelly, I want to build a home that is Christ centered, filled with love and grace and integrity. I’ve always prayed that God would make our home a haven and that those who enter feel the Presence of God and are blessed coming in and blessed going out. Yes our words and speech are vital to our having joy and peace and a happier life not to count what they do for others.
