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.

This Week . . .


This week I had to buy a new laptop. 

And being without a laptop all week confirmed the fact that I really do need to upgrade my (very) old phone. 

And having to read anything online on the tiny screen of my (very) old phone confirmed the fact that I also need to break down and get new glasses.

So . . . our cash flow may be taking a hit, but at least I'll be connected and current and I'll be able to see! 💻 📱 👓

  1. Yes, I can totally relate. Makes me think of all the things I take for granted (seeing, breathing, my computer, just waking up to a new day), and don't notice what blessings they are until something happens that makes me.

    1. Isn't that so true?! I am so forgetful of His blessings . . .

  2. Absolutely! Some things are vitally important after all. Have fun learning the new technology. I trust that it’ll be a breeze.

    1. The laptop is a breeze. The phone . . . not so much. I am having the greatest difficulty even knowing what I want to purchase, let alone learning to use it. Eek!

    1. It is the "smart" phone that has me worried. Am I smart enough to learn it?!

  4. One thing leads to another! It's like a kitchen remodel.
    Glad you have a new computer.

    1. That is the truth! And we're finishing a kitchen remodel so we know that too!

  5. Cheryl, our daughter is visiting and has been installing updates on my computer that never seemed to update previously. I told her I wish technology didn't need updating so frequently. Glad you are keeping up with it all!

    1. Martha Ellen, I have done a little (okay, more than a little) ranting over the frequent need to upgrade to stay current. It is so much easier for young people, but for us not-so-young folks, it is quite a challenge! Sigh . . .

      It is great that your daughter is helping you. I may have to call in the troops to help me select a phone to meet my needs.

  6. Just like dominoes - one thing leads to another!

    1. Debby, mine is a 4S, a hand-me-down from my daughter. I accidentally left it at a friend's house a few weeks ago and her teenage son was amazed that I had a phone that old! He had to google it to see what it was! 🤣

      I am not sure what we did without our devices, but the world has changed and I don't want to be left in the dust!
