One Small Thing

  Walking in the door, we head for seperate corners. My son's first stop is his room where everything gets dumped on his bed, mine is the counter between the kitchen and family room. Whatever is in my hands; my keys, the mail, my purse, and my day planner;  all get set on the counter and I pull up a stool and start sorting and planning. I sort the pile of mail and then open my planner. Pondering the dinner choices I make the final decisions about our evening meal. Will we eat at the counter or the dining room table? How soon shall I begin cooking? Soon I'll clear the counter and carry out my plan.

Back At Home

Welcome to Back At Home, my blog about Homes. Home, defined as a house, a domicile, or a base of operations, is more passionately defined by Webster as "the center of one's domestic affections." There is nothing like returning home after a long trail ride, an extended vacation, or just a hard day at work or school. Busy folks have a challenging task ahead of them to keep a house ready to welcome them back home. This blog is all about the trials, successes, and ideas that go into keeping up and finding peace and joy at home.
      Hope you'll join us and share your experiences creating a home fit to Welcome the King. Feel free to share what works, what didn't work, and areas that you are successful or struggling in. Please help create an encouraging atmosphere where we can help each other on this journey of faith til we reach our perfect home prepared for us in heaven
