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 27




The l-o-n-g table is set, festive and ready for our dear ones to gather around. Andrew has arrived safely; the newlyweds are reunited. Tomorrow is the day of Thanksgiving . . . 

but the thanks giving should not end there! 


Thanksgiving is a spiritual exercise, necessary to the building of a healthy soul. It takes us out of the stuffiness of ourselves into the fresh breeze and sunlight of the will of God."   ~ Elisabeth Elliot in Keep a Quiet Heart

    1. Running late here . . . but thank you for the blessing! It was a good day, although we greatly missed my parents. My dad was under the weather and they stayed at home. We took them plates of food, but of course, that is not the same. :(

    1. Thank you for your kind greetings, Rosella! It was a lovely day and a wonderful feast and precious faces around that long table! (The only sad part of the day, as I told Vee above, was that my parents were unable to come this year.)
