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.

Happy Birthday, Bekah!

Bekah's 24th birthday fell on a Sunday, so I encouraged her to celebrate with a Friends & Family party this year! She hemmed and hawed (she's not always comfortable being the center of attention), but she finally decided to do it. 

The festivities began even before her party!
The music team sang Happy Birthday to her when she arrived for rehearsal, and then the ladies of our Sunday School class brought Bekah a cupcake and sang to her. 


After church, friends and family came for lunch and games!

Ron surprised her with a bouquet of flowers for the table. 

Gammy was there to celebrate her youngest granddaughter. 

Macie reprised her role as "Birthday Fairy" and gave Bekah her gifts to open.


Bekah requested a sundae bar for her birthday dessert . . . 

. . . so we put a birthday candle in her sundae! 







It was a lovely gathering and Bekah felt celebrated and loved! 





It has been a busy month for us with lots of activities and hosting and responsibilities amidst the fun things. 


Tomorrow we look forward to celebrating the greatest event in history: the resurrection of our Lord! We serve a Living Savior! We will have a fellowship breakfast at church, followed by a special worship service. In the afternoon, Kristin and her family and my mom will join us for a holiday meal. I'll be playing by Resurrection Day playlist on Spotify. (Actually, I've been listening to it all month.)

Good times ahead! Much to celebrate!
