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 5
As I sit here in front of my laptop, struggling to stay awake long enough to post . . .
I am thankful for shelter, for a warm home, for a cozy bed, for rest.
This gift is not something to take for granted, for even our Lord said, "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
Good night, friends.
