As the name of my blog indicates, I spend a lot of time thinking about home. Of course, my Heavenly Home is the one that is eternal, so that’s where I need to lay up my treasures, and that’s the one I’m striving for. But in the meantime, I have been given this tiny piece of the here-and-now—this home on the edge of town, this family, this neighborhood—in which to serve Him. And, though this is in the earthly realm, I want the things that happen here to be investments in the Heavenly realm.

Another Thanksgiving Blessing!


And now we know.

We know what our Father already knew (and planned!) of the time and place of this new little one's birth. Yes, Paul Ronald arrived at precisely the moment that God had planned for him. And we couldn't be happier. 

The inspiration for Paul's name: I Corinthians 15:3-8. "First he appeared to Cephas (Peter)...last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me (Paul)."

Paul Ronald
9 lbs., 10 oz.
November 24, 2014






Paul arrived the day before Peter's 4th birthday. (Actually 1 hour and 15 minutes before Peter's birthday.) What a deluxe present Peter gets this year!

Our Peter...such a sweet boy! 



Today, Mommy and Paul will leave the hospital for their new home, and they'll all celebrate Peter's birthday together.


On this Thanksgiving, our family has another blessing to count!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
May all your days be filled with thankfulness to our Lord, 
for He is good!



On Sunday, I'll be Gathering the Moments of November, and what a month it has been for us!!

As I have done since January, I will be providing a place for you to link your own "moments" and we can share with one another. (More details ~here~.)
I will be hosting this gathering each month through December. Feel free to join in!
