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.

Gathering the Moments | May 2024

 


Our May was a very busy, bountiful, and celebratory month!

Kati and family came for a visit. Ryan and family came for a couple of days. We celebrated a graduation, three birthdays
(even though only one of those was actually in May), Mother's Day . . . and there was even a belated Christmas gift thrown into the mix!  




They're here! 




















Bekah graduated from community college with high honors!
Her entire family was here to celebrate her achievement. 
She worked hard and we are all so proud of her, 
the baby of our family (who is sometimes known as "Baby Girl" 😉)

Mother's Day
As I said, the celebrations were fluid this month . . .
and we celebrated occasions whenever people were here.
By actual Mother's Day, the out-of-state kids and their families had returned home 
and the "locals" gathered with our moms.








The remainder of May
Theater for three grands
(and running into our oldest grandson at the performance we attended and sitting together)

Taking the next steps . . .
