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.

Thanksgiving 2016



♩ ♫  Come, ye thankful people, come  ♫ 






♩ ♫  Raise the song of harvest home  ♫ 





♩ ♫  All is safely gathered in  ♫ 






♩ ♫  Ere the winter storms begin  ♫ 






♩ ♫  God our Maker doth provide  ♫ 






♩ ♫  For our wants to be supplied  ♫ 






♩ ♫  Come to God's own temple, come  ♫ 







♩ ♫  Raise the song of harvest home.  ♫ 






 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, 
and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, 
and Your faithfulness every night.
Psalm 92: 1, 2

  7. Is there anything more precious than seeing the love between the oldest and youngest generation? Blessed my heart. Beautiful family.

    And beautiful table...may I ask about the "blue" pumpkin? I have seen Blue Hubbard squash, but not blue pumpkins. Very pretty and unusual.

  8. Thank you, sweet friends!!

    Vee, about the pumpkin...I saw it as green. I had bought one from my brother-in-law's farm stand in September. When we decided to use my great-grandmother's china, we wanted to use creamy white and green tones on the table instead of the more typical orange tones. When I called a local nursery and asked if they had any "green" pumpkins left, she didn't know what I was talking about! It turns out, they consider them "gray." Whatever they are (gray, green, or blue), I really like them! I think that they are Jarrahdale pumpkins. :)
