I used to attend a Home Group at this wonderful woman's home. Her house exudes warmth, love, and peace. You just feel and know that Jesus lives there with them.
I hope that people feel and know that Jesus lives at my home too. My home is just messier and more cluttered than hers. Mine is cluttered with more than stuff - some of my clutter is people. She and her husband are empty nesters.
I have a 3 1/2 year old with indulgent grandparents and that means lots of toys.
I know there are things I can do to make my home more inviting, cozy and comfortable. I especially want these things for Surferman. I want him to be happy to be home. I want him to long for his castle. I want to provide him a peaceful refuge from the things of this world.
Please pray for me - for my attitude. Often by the time Surferman gets home I am wanting to be rescued; to be taken away from it all. I want to have dinner ready, the table set, Grom showered and ready for bed, the house picked up. Lord, help me, please.
I'm enjoying your blog! It sounds like you have a wonderful home!
