Love Lives There

Packed...
I will be packing up soon to return to Alabama. I have been in Louisiana since January 11.
I’m ready to be home…home is where I need to be….I hope I am missed.

Home is where the heart is?

Home is where I plant my feet on good solid ground.
It’s where I blossom.
:
Love lives there.
:
It’s where I’ve sprinkled my special touch,
My unique aroma.
:
Home is where I hang my soul,
And where my shoes can be found next to the door.
:
Home is where mistakes turn into lessons.
And where God is ever present.
It’s a place where I cultivate memories.
:
My home is my safe haven.
It’s where I breathe.
And where I get on my knees and rest my soul.
:
I nourish my family and friends there.
:
My home has seen the worst of me and yet still welcomes.
A home is built not of material things, but of things from the heart.
 Yes home is definitely where my heart...and soul is.
:
It’s heartfelt.
It is me.
~Love lives there.~

When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible, but Jesus believes I am worth it.
Therefore He died on the cross for me so that I could be saved from those flaws.

  5. I love the suitcases too. They reminded me of a picture Char had shown on her blog. I guess great minds think alike, I so know what you mean about home...something that beckons you from almost the time you leave it. Have a safe journey. Take care.
