There really is no place like home.
It's a place where:
- everything is where you think it should be, or at least was there originally.
- the pillows smell like sleep and the dinner table looks lonely without everyone gathered around it.
- at night you pray over your sleeping children and are easily awaked if they need you in the darkness.
- you can put your feet up on the couch, dress comfortably, and eat ice cream from the carton. Not that anyone does that last part?
- when it's quiet, the ticking of the clocks are familiar.
- our children learn to be who they will become.
- learning hard lessons still come lined with love, encouragement, and direction.
- you get do overs -- over and over again.
- forgiveness, mercy, and love triumph
- you have to eat the skin (crust) of the bread, too.
- It's a place you'll long to return to when you think too much time has passed.
Home is where your story begins....be sure the foundation is strong!
