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.

Merry Christmas!




I have been missing in action . . . and "action" is certainly the correct description!

The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas was so short this year. My days have been full of ordinary busyness, holiday prep, a few special events, and a week of sickness just to make life interesting. (And my sickness has included an extended period of laryngitis so I haven't even been able to sing Christmas music!)

In the meantime, there has been no time for blogging, no time for commenting (even though I pop in to read blogs now and then). 

Will I ever go back and Gather the Moments of November? 

Will I ever finish telling you about our house projects of 2023? 

Will this be the first time in my sixteen years of blogging that I will not do a Christmas home tour?! 

Perhaps. 😑





Oh, but we are excited about the days to come! We have children arriving on Friday (tomorrow!) and more on Saturday and our home and our hearts will be filled with joy and celebration! 

So before I disappear again, I wanted to pop in to wish you, my dear friends, a blessed Christmas! 

May you know the reality of Emmanuel:

God With Us!
