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.

{30 Days of Thankfulness} Day 23


I am thankful for my "servants." 


I just heard the buzzer ring in the basement, letting me know that the laundry is dry. That reminded me of how thankful I am for such "servants" . . .

          my clothes dryer

          my washing machine

          my dishwasher

          my hot water heater

          my oven

          my boiler

          my coffee pot.

These tools work for me, helping me with my daily tasks of keeping a home.

  2. Aww, how sweet to visit and scroll through your thankfulness posts on this early, rainy morning. I may not have been shopping with you and your family or sipping coffee and perusing books but I feel like I had a warm conversation :)

    Have a lovely Thanksgiving week!

  3. Oh I am grateful for anything that keeps me away from a washboard or for the furnace that keeps me from hauling wood...been there; done that. So much to be grateful for in the 21st Century. (And I am certain that our forebears had much to be grateful for as well.)

  5. Oh yes, I so agree with your list of servants that help us keep our homes. The women of yesterday certainly would be amazed at our servants. I like how you refer to them as our servants as they certainly are! ♥
