Donna Otto grew up in a rough environment.

Those who invited her into their home had no idea what kind of influence they were having.

And I felt a sense of peacefulness that was so tangible to me.

I saw beauty in homes.

I remember going to a home once, and I walked in and there were pictures on the wall,

and I thought, people put pictures on their walls.

It's Monday, May 8th, and you're listening to Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss.

Here's Nancy.

We're delighted to welcome to revive our hearts this week, my new friend, Donna Otto.

Some of you have read her books.

You've heard her speak perhaps years ago on Gateway to Joy with Elizabeth Elliott. And Donna is a wife. She's a mom. She's a lover of the Lord and a lover

of home. She's a speaker and an author and a home management consultant and some other things

we could throw in there.

But Donna, thanks so much for being a part of Revive Our Hearts this week.

We're just glad to have you joining us.

Thank you.

Do I do all those things?

Well, that's what your bio sketch says.

Okay.

And we are also joined today with about 30 or 40 women here in the studio and so that we could have some chance

for some interaction.

And we want to learn from you.
