Making Your Home a Haven: Week 1 – Gratitude
{Cue the Confetti!!!} It’s time to begin the 9th Annual Making Your Home a Haven Challenge!
This week’s Spiritual Focus is Gratitude.
So, pull out a journal or your Women Living Well Habit Tracker and turn to the Gratitude page and begin! If you don’t have a Habit Tracker – you can print these pages below.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
(Psalm 136:1)
Every day this week, pause and write down a few things you are grateful for. It is scientifically proven that listing the things we are grateful for improves our mood, our relationships, our physical and psychological health, our sleep, our hopefulness, and our resilience.
Recognizing what we’re grateful for opens our eyes to the good gifts that God has generously given to us each day.
So many times we wonder what God’s will is for our lives and right in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – God clearly tells us that “giving thanks in all circumstances IS THE WILL OF GOD for you”!
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing,
give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
So let’s do it! I am 100% certain we will be blessed.
Week 1 – CHALLENGE:
Go buy an extra large candle and light a candle everyday in your home.
I will be starting mine in the morning but you can start yours at dinner time or whenever is convenient for you. I will be placing mine in the kitchen – the main hub of my home.
Each time the glimmer of the candle catches your eye, let it remind you to say a prayer of thanksgiving and a prayer for peace in your home.
Let’s make our homes feel like a warm hug and a sweet haven all month long!
You see when we do not take the time to tend to our own souls – we have nothing left to give to others. So many times I have found myself busy and running on empty and then I snap – in a moment of frustration and weariness I say or do things that I would never do if I was more rested and connected with the Lord.
And so this month – let’s be intentional! Genesis tells us, God created the heavens and the earth in six days and on the seventh day, He rested.
God stopped!
We are made in God’s image and we need to stop too.
Stop and simply light your candle and say a prayer of thanksgiving.
Life has many twists and turns each day. It is very easy to become frazzled and frustrated. In our own strength, we cannot be peaceful and thankful.
This is where Christ changes everything! While many things will happen in your home this week that feel out of your control, —there is one constant…
God.
God is with you.
And the flicker of your candle on the counter morning, noon and night will remind you – there is a God who loves you, that you can turn to over and over and over with your stress, struggles, worries and fears.
So let’s begin our gratitude lists now.
Pull out a pen and paper and begin. As you set your pen to the paper – wait on the Lord. Seek God and ask him to show you all the ways he has shown himself to you lately.
Give thanks to God for both the big and small blessings in your life.
They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
(Isaiah 40:31)Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
(Psalm 136:1)
Share with us in the comment section some of the things you are thankful for today. Just look around the room where you are sitting right now. I am positive there are more than 10 ordinary things we could easily give thanks to God for – right this minute – but we haven’t done it.
Now’s the time!
It’s time to take our focus off of the things that are bothering us and focus on what we are thankful for – because…
What we focus on – grows.
Let’s grow in our thankfulness to the Lord this week.
It is God’s will for you!
Walk with the King,
Courtney ????

I’m grateful for my “haven” home; for the sweet smelling aroma of my autumn wreath candle; for the LORD’S lovingkindness which endures forever; for my senses – sight, sound, smell, taste, touch; for being able to walk (my legs and feet have challenges); for my soft bed with lots of pillows and warm snuggly covers; for technology which enables me to be a part of on-line community. The LORD is so GOOD!
???? Beautifully expressed ????

I am thankful for the quiet of the mornings and like Jill, the aroma of coffee. Can I add how grateful I am for the faint sound of my husband snoring in the near distance. I’m grateful for this dedicated time, place, and sisters in faith to really slow down and focus on what God has provided.

This morning I am grateful for a good nights rest, beginning a new job- the answer to a long standing prayer, God’s perfect timing in my life, my family, crisp autumn days and the smell of my autumn spice candle.
I’m grateful for a church that not only encourages me but challenges me. I have really been struggling with my physical limitations and feeling like I’m struggling to serve the Lord, my family and my home the way I feel that God would have me. Yesterday (in conjunction with the Rest and Release devotions, I was reminded that my limitations are not a bad thing. It’s part of the process that God is using to grow me into His image (the ultimate goal of our lives anyway).
I’m so thankful for my husband, for my home, for my 2 Scotties sound asleep at my feet, and for the warmth of the candle before me.
I am thankful for my husband who loves and supports me, even when we agreed to disagree, ha! I am thankful for my beautiful daughter who is becoming such an amazing woman of God. I am so thankful for the freedom I have to proclaim Jesus as my Savior and Lord. I am thankful that God has opened my eyes to so many things recently that are so easily taken for granted. Thank you for starting this to help us “be still” and reflect and refocus on our homes, no matter what the covering. Have a great week ladies and take time to “be still”.
I’m thankful for the quiet and stillness of this early morning. The gently breeze I see moving the leaves on the trees outside. The sound of the fountain in the small pond right outside my window. God’s Word! His faithfulness to me each morning! His great love for me! My wonderful husband who, like my Daddy God, loves me unconditionally.
I am thankful for my life, health, family, church family and their unending support, God leading me in the path he has planned for me and giving his only Son, Christ, to redeem me of my sins.
I am thankful for quiet times in the morning. Daily devotions and journaling before I hear little feet coming down the stairs. That time with just my thoughts and prayers for the day help me to meet my girls at the bottom of the stairs with smiles and warm sleepy hugs and feel anticipation for a good day.
This morning, I am thankful for my sleepy baby snuggled up on my lap. I am thankful for the bus that picks my kids up for school, so I can stay in my warm house. I am thankful for the teachers that love my kids and encourage them throughout the day. I am most thankful for my husband who works hard so I can stay home with my kids.
Gratitude is always in the back of my mind, but I often have to really stop and focus and give my love deliberate focus to notice and acknowledge those things. Right now, I’m acknowledging being grateful for our new dream home on 5 acres in the country, and the beauty of our new county, that everybody here calls God’s Country.
I am thankful for God’s mercies and grace upon my life and my Husband’s. Specially for mornings, For the reminder every morning that He loves us and keeps us. Also, for connecting with some many different ladies, in different locations and worshiping together.
I’m thankful for this study and time with God; I’m thankful for my home and family; I’m thankful for my sweet and fun dog; I’m thankful for the food and water; I’m thankful for my walk this morning; I’m thankful for the sunrise. I could go on and on ????????

I am thankful for a roof over my head, warmth, food in the cupboard and clothes to wear.

For my beautiful daughters who give me the honor to be their Mom. For my warm bed, I do not take this for granted. For Courtney for taking the time out and serving us in this platform.

I am so thankful for the roof over my head and the food on my table. I am thankful to be able to praise the Lord everyday and shout his praise from the rooftops. I am thankful for my healthy little girl and wonderfully supportive hubby.
I am also thankful for you! Because without you I wouldn’t have even known I could be a part of something so wonderful.
Today I am grateful for a home where there is enough room for my family, a happy healthy family, the new couch we were able to purchase, and being able to afford to work a four hour a day job so that I may be home with my children. God Bless ❤️
I’m thankful for the noise in my home. It can sometimes be extreme but without it there wouldn’t be anyone here and no one to take care of. I’m thankful for God’s strength because without it I couldn’t take care of all the noise. ❤️
I am thankful for my son who was born this day 47 years ago. An early birth with complications but now he is a mature adult whom I am so proud. I am thankful for my wonderful husband who is always there to support me . My warm comfortable small house that smell like pumpkin spice. I am thankful for everyday blessings that I take for granted but I know that I am blessed in so many ways.

I am so thankful for a restful nights sleep in a warm comfortable bed
I am thankful for God’s grace and mercy which are new every morning!
This is my first year of this challenge & I just love it! I have completed my Gratitude tracker & have so much to be thankful for. I have my housekeeping tracker filled out & will soon begin my chores for this morning. My candle flickered throughout my early morning time in my kitchen & it inspired me to read more of the Book of Joshua that I started last week. Thank you, Courtney, for this wonderful challenge to create a haven in our home.
I am truly blessed and eternally greatful that I just celebrated 18 years being cancer free!!!
Praise God for His divine healing and I will never forget what He’s done for me!! I will bless His Holy name for the rest of my life! There are a zillion things on my list to thank Him for.

He sustained me!!
I am grateful for the time change! To be able to see the sun shining as I took my little one to kindergarten today. I’m grateful for my husband, who is a great provider and father to our children. I’m grateful I woke up today! God is good!!!
I am so grateful I got to visit my aunt in the hospital this weekend. I went thinking I would bring encouragement and hope. Instead, she shared many miraculous stories of how God has worked in her life (she wasn’t a believer before!) Now, her faith is so strong it was so encouraging for me. God has done amazing work. Praying for her healing, pain relief and God’s presence. He is using this what could be bleak situation to touch many lives.
I am grateful for God’s Word that brings me peace, joy and healing. I am grateful for brand new mercies this morning and for God’s grace. I am grateful for my health, my family, my church, my home, my job, my cat and for being in my right mind.
God’s blessing of salvation!

First of all, I am so thankful for this challenge and the group of ladies that are doing it with me. I am truly thankful this morning for the cozy home we have with the scents of coffee and pumpkin spice throughout it and my loving husband and 2 beautiful daughters that I sent off to work and school this morning with a hug and a kiss.

I am thankful my friend gave her life to the lord yesterday.
Good morning,
As I begin this day into making my home a Haven. I must say I was excited to wake up this morning and get started. I am thankful for the time I had this morning with my eldest daughter, though it was brief I was thankful as I looked at her and thought to myself, this time next year she will be in her own place with her new husband. It tugs at my heartstrings, I know this is what God has planned.
I am thankful for the many blessings he gives my family: a home, vehicles that run, food on the table and great jobs. I am very thankful for my husband, kids and grand kids, as well as my puppies – they all make my life worth living and the needed laughter in my life. I am also thankful for the vegan lifestyle because I am now completely pain free (chronic pain x20 years), and feel great!
I am grateful for you and the effort that you put into “Women Living Well”. Thank you for being a godly leader of women.
I am thankful for the opportunity to spend this day in the car driving my oldest daughter to a college visit. I am thankful for the time to spend with her just the two of us!
I am grateful for Gods love & forgiveness. I am also thankful to live in a beautiful place where I wake up to the sound of band practice. Two kitties sitting on my lap on a warm blanket. I am also grateful for great friends of all cultures & beliefs. I am thankful for the fact that I am a child of God.
I am thankful for my warm home during this cold patch of weather. I am so thankful for our new to us kitchen table we found at a reuse store. It is big enough our family and is the center of our family time. We use it to play board games on and sit down for family meals. There are even a few empty chairs for when friends are by. I am thankful God blessed us with something we were not able to provide for many years.
I’m thankful for a warm home, a husband who loves me and coffee

I am so grateful for God /Jesus, My hubby and Son, My home, My church family and my friends.
As I checked on the outdoor hot tub in my backyard to determine whether more chemicals needed to be added……………. I was grateful for it the peaceful times I sit in it with friends, husband or just by myself listening to music and feeling relaxed! the hot tub is such a great blessing to our body for relaxation and stress reducing therapy! All praises to God for the provision of it, the money to maintain it and the times to enjoy it!
I am thankful for my warm home, my sleeping pups snuggled right beside me and mostly the Lord walking with me always
I am thankful for a Heavenly Father who knows my needs and gives me endless grace.
Forwarded this to the young moms’ Bible study that I lead. I pray that we will all be blessed and reminded of His goodness, our depravity and our need to be in His Word and prayer every day.
I am thankful for my family. I just got back from taking my Dad to the doctor, he will be 80 on December 24th, I lost my Mom in 2007 and my husband in 2016. I have a wonderful relationship with my kids, not perfect, but love them with all my heart, my grandchildren are a huge blessing and bring sunshine to my days and I still have a great relationship with my brother and sister who are always there for me and the best nieces and nephew you could ask for. I am also thankful for the friends who feel like family.
I’m thankful for my Salvation! I’m thankful that God rescued me from my loneliness, unhappiness, adultery. I was looking for the love that my heart desired in all wrong places and then I was found by God I was not looking for Him, but he found me. 1John 4:19 We love Him because He first loved us❤️ Thankfully for his forgiveness, thankful for His Mercy, thankful for His grace, thankful for His peace????
Go Bertha!!
Today I am grateful for Warm food & tea, a comfortable home, a Wonderful family, health, our Dr.
I so need to practice gratitude as holidays depress me. I’m a giver and I pour out so much of myself that I fail to stop and be grateful.
I’m thankful for the precious blood of Jesus Christ, this ministry as well as others, every single blessing from God & for reading all of these beautiful comments!! They have truly blessed my soul!!
As I sit at my girls dance class, I’m thankful for God’s provision. I use a biannual Consignment sale to fund their dance classes. The fall sale was an absolute bust in my mind, yielding only $240. When it came time to pay tuition for dance, I paid for the year and would you believe the total for two classes was exactly $240. I’m thankful for the wait. Continues to provide exactly what we need and at that some of the things we want.
I am so thankful today for the sweet spirit from the Lord today. I have had such peace today and know it is from Him. I’m thankful for my family, who gives me love and smiles each and every day. I’m also thankful for God’s Word that speaks to me in the valleys and on top of the mountain.
I am thankful for this week-long vacation in the Rocky Mountains with my husband, sister, & brother-in-law, and all our fur-babies. We’ve seen so many elk in town (EstesPark, CO) – such beautiful creatures. Loving the snow, playing games, cooking, shopping, relaxing, & rejuvenating. It gives me a wonderful glimpse of what retirement will be like next year. God has blessed us with SO much.
Hello Courtney and friends!
I am so grateful, thankful and blessed for God’s constant love, grace and mercy! Glory to God!
So thankful for you Courtney and your obedience to the Lord as we all come together and fellowship through social media to honor our Lord and Savior as we study and explore the many biblical ways we can contribute in making our homes a haven. May we all be blessed abundantly and may the Lord show Himself Mighty in power throughout. Amen.????

I am grateful for family. I am grateful for having a wonderful job and despite having to find a new one after 32 years, I am grateful God has given me courage and a husband to say take your time and look for the right door. I am grateful for my puppy who takes me on walks, no matter the weather. I am grateful for Christian friends.
I am thankful for you and your sharing! I too, after over 21 years with the same employer now have to get back out there to interview and find a new position. My husband also has been very supportive and praying for a new job that will give me joy. I am so thankful he encourages me to take the rest of the year to just Rest and enjoy family over his and our kids’ vacations from school. Praying the Lord will lead you and I to where He can best use us next!
My life is overflowing with many children and even more grandchildren. God has blessed me with a huge heritage. Sometimes that heritage can be overwhelming and my head feels like it will burst. It is what makes my life so busy and crazy. But when I start to go down the oath of focusing on the negatives of busyness, I try to stop and refocus on the blessings behind it.
I am grateful for a roof over my head, warmth and dry out of the rain and cold. For water at a tap and so easy to access. I am grateful for my loving parents, at 41 years old, I can still feel their warm and loving embrace, even in their voice long distance. I am grateful for my children, what gifts from God!
I am grateful for my beautiful granddaughter, she brings so much joy to our home. My iPad which brings Courtney, Women Living Well and a few other women’s ministries into my home. The beauty of the mountains (I live in Colorado) and the warmth of the sunshine this morning. As I look around I realize the Lord has been very good to us and I feel truly blessed. I’m looking forward to seeing the blessings all around us over the next month.
God is good! I love how you said “stop focusing on what bothers you”… and find the blessings. So today, I’m thankful for dirty dishes. They are a constant around my house and sometimes I want to pull my hair out but.. there in lies the hidden treasure . We have dirty dishes because we have food and I have a husband who works hard to provide for our family. My children (little tummies get hungry fast!!) are not being neglected or going without food all day and to me as their mother, that is a huge. So today, I’m thankful for yet another sink full of dishes.
I am thankful for the ability to be able to get up and go to work, the quiet time I get each morning after my sweet pup drags me out of bed, those that took the time to wish me a happy birthday, the fact that I am here to celebrate another one, God’s endless tolerance of my shortcomings, His willingness to calm my soul when I cannot, my growing children, my sweet mom, my family and friends, the presence of much needed laughter, the roof over our heads, full bellies, our physical, mental, and spiritual health, and most of all, for the saving Grace God gave us in Jesus Christ. Without Him, the consequences of our sin would be so immensely paralyzing that it would be too hard to focus on the things for which we should be grateful. Thank you Jesus!
Amen!
I am grateful for the tendering of my heart I need from time to time when life can make it hard. I am thankful for being reminded of all I have to be thankful for as I read these beautiful thanksgiving testimonies of many of the women who posted here.???? Thankful for a good night’s rest, a warm, cozy home and place to do my quiet time. Pen and paper to write my gratitude list on, this challenge this month, to be able to be home with my children, my health, coffee and chocolate, the love of family and friends, laughter, cuddles with my hubs and kids, all my needs are cared for, prayers, God’s living word, hope in Christ alone, the giftings of the Spirit and to use those for God’s glory, sunrises and sunsets, smiles, kindness, compassion and new mercies every morning, everyday I truly am under showers of blessings from the Lord, thank You Heavenly Father for every good and perfect gift, seen and unseen and every promise, you keep your word always keep thank you for the covering of your love and the opportunity you have given me to live my life back to you in loving, grateful obedience.
I am grateful that God provided me with 2 part-time jobs, after leaving my long-term job…and that I can have this day to rest and catch up on paperwork. Grateful for a husband who works hard and cares for the outside of our home, so that I can care for the inside. For the beautiful changing of the leaves. For the quiet of the house. For family who love me. For GOD who never changes – Thankful for Courtney who posted this Haven of Rest page today, with the encouraging verses.
I am thankful for the Women Living Well website. I am home from work on a medical leave. I have been good managing my own devotions but with all the worries; medical appointments, thinking about all the time I have missed at work…it is easy to fall off track. Seeing Good Morning Girls pop in my social media news feeds reminded me to take time to give thanks to God for the time I have at home to reflect, the family and friends I am surrounded by and so much more. I have been wondering what my God given purpose is in life and in my career; but the truth is in this moment I need be still and give thanks for the big and ordinary blessings in my life. Thank you GMG!
I am just greatful for another day, a job, for my son and I to have a nice plkace to live.
I am thankful for my home Church. Even though I have been back and forth lately with going. I am so thankful for them, their spiritual guidance and accepting me for who I am!
The things I’m grateful for are my health, my salvation, and my co-workers. I love doing this because it re- wires my brain from worrying about stuff that hasn’t happened to the positive things that have happened.
I am so thankful for my children. They drive me insane but because of them I’m a mom. So many others are not able to have that craziness. I’m thankful for my dog that loves me more than anything and brings a smile to my heart whenever I see him. I’m thankful for my cats that greet me at my bedroom door every morning and follow me through the house. I’m thankful for my wood stove that keeps my family toasty warm and saves us a ton of money on electricity. I’m thankful for a husband that is always by my side. We are going through a rough time but doing it together because we are worth it, we are better together then apart.
Lord, I thank you for giving us your word. Thank you that I can read and even listen to your words. And I can even sing your words in praise and thanks to you today.
I am grateful for my grandbabies………for good health to be able to raise them………..for my son who is always there to help me…………..for my daughter who is hopefully getting her life back together…………….my home…………..my parents and parent-in-laws……………for Fall (I love this time of year)!!! So much to be thankful for and so very blessed!
I am grateful for the little things in life, the details & knowing God is actively involved in each detail! I am blessed beyond measure with family, friends, church family, safe, warm, cozy home, 5 amazing grandchildren, good health & my sweet Beatrice my Bouvier! I am grateful for my struggles, joys, experiences as they all bring me closer to my Heavenly Father! My life verse is 1 Peter 5:7 “Cast your cares on Him, because He cares for you.” I trust Him, He is faithful! Above all else, I am deeply humbled, grateful & blessed that HE loves me!
Today, I am thankful for a much needed restful nights sleep, since we just had the time change and darkness is coming too early. I am thankful for by beautiful family and all of our health. So grateful my husband found new employment that he really likes., for things we can take for granted like having a roof over our head, food, and to be able to provide for some extras. Thankful my teenagers are wonderful, hard-working,kind and humble people finding their own way into adulthood. Most of all thankful today for the daily inspiration and love that I receive from God. He guides me and never fails me. I am blessed.
I am thankful for Grace, Gods grace. He forgives and loves me even Though I am constantly messing up.
