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.

Small Details


I have been pondering the small things today.

In a blog post, my friend Lorrie (whose slice-of-life blog is a feast for the eyes and the mind) shared something that she had recently read . . . that satisfaction is found most in the small details of life.



And that stirred my thoughts about some small things that have brought me satisfaction lately. I'll name a few. 

🌿A slow Saturday morning, beginning with Ron and me drinking our coffee in the sunroom.

🌿A drive along the water. 

🌿Putzing around the house. 

🌿A surprise message from a friend . . . just because. 

🌿Doing laundry in my new laundry closet. 

🌿The crepe myrtles in bloom.

🌿The limelight hydrangea almost in bloom. So close!

🌿Buying supplies for a new craft project. 

🌿A group of ladies around my table for Bible study. 




What about you? What small details have brought you satisfaction?

  1. It is often the small details that have the biggest impact, I find. Finding a beautiful butterfly on one of my plants brought a thrill to my heart today.
