Your home is so peaceful

When it was my turn to host our neighborhood book club in July, I chose "Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child"  of course!  I love Emotion Coaching!  It has changed my attitudes about parenting.

I did my best to explain the principles and the outcomes of emotion coaching in our family.  One of the ladies said, "Your home is so peaceful."

She doesn't know I have this blog called 'Parent's Peace'.  She doesn't know that my main goal in life is to create a peaceful life and a peaceful home!  I was thrilled when she said that.  Having peace is my greatest pursuit!

Do not think that I want my home to be like some type of quiet museum.  Most times it is loud and rambunctious!  We play soccer in the living room!  I want a peaceful home in the sense that anyone who enters feels at peace.  I want to get along with everyone.  I want to have harmony.

About a year ago, I was studying to give a lesson in church when I noticed the words, "May your homes be filled with harmony and love."  I thought about what it means to have harmony.  I looked up the definition.  In music, harmony is when two or more different notes complement each other and sound good together.   We all play different notes, but we can support each other and still make music that works and is enjoyable.

We don't have to force ourselves to all play the same note all the time.  That would make a boring song!  We can appreciate the range of notes we each are playing in and appreciate each other's contributions, like a smooth jazz.  

It is easier said than done sometimes!  It takes great effort to be patient and tolerant of the notes others are playing while being true to our own range of notes.  But that is our goal, and when we hit it right, it makes beautiful music.

May your homes be filled with harmony and love

Love,
Alison
