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.

Note Card Party: Yellow


I love to see pops of yellow in the springtime! The natural world displays lots of yellow during the spring--daffodils, forsythia, tulips.  Do you suppose that our Creator planned it for our pleasure?   



This is my Fathers world 
And to my listening ears, 
All nature sings and round me rings 
The music of the spheres. 






This is my Fathers world, 
I rest me in the thought 
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas, 
His hand, the wonders wrought. 



This is my Fathers world, 
The birds, their carols raise, 
The morning light, the lily white 
Declare their makers praise.  





This is my Fathers world, 
He shines in all that's fair. 
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, 
He speaks to me everywhere.





This is my Fathers world, 
Oh let me ne'er forget 
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet. 


This is my Fathers world, 
The battle is not done. 
Jesus, who died, shall be satisfied 
And earth and heaven be one.


(Lyrics by Maltbie D. Babcock)

  3. Me, too. That window shot is wonderful. The very essence of your decorating style. Such note cards would be perfect at our local primitives shoppe. I can see them sitting on the counter right along with the other offerings. Thanks for participating, Cheryl, I know that you were busy!
