i’ve so enjoyed my walks this spring ... as i walk i pray - for people, places and sometimes things!
yesterday as i was briskly striding along, i thanked the Lord for our rental place ... i know that it was provided by Him, at the right time, for our need ... and i know that it is a good place to wait in ...
this rental place could be a place to spread out and really live in too ... but there are a few drawbacks ... there is that stale tobacco smell - that oozes at the most unexpected times ... the lawn and garden are huge huge huge ... way beyond what we are capable of caring for ... and the occasionally leak in the basement, well ... you get the picture ...
so i pray for our yet to be found home ... that place that is right for us ... where we can settle in and do what work we have the strength for ... i have a peace about it ... it will come when the time is right ...
isn’t that like our earthly home, compared to our heavenly one?
we can merrily go along, living for the day with no thought of anything but how grand this life is ... then we get ill ... or finances fail ... or loved ones let us down ... and our hearts get discouraged ... those times should draw us closer to God ... and He in turn gives us a glimpse of our heavenly home, that Jesus has gone to prepare for us ... a home that is perfect ... no illness, no financial concerns, no more hate or any sin of any kind ... all that has been wiped away ...
so let’s not get too comfy down here ... after all, it's only our "rental home" ... our "real home" (heaven) is just around the corner!

My mom used to say we had to wear this world lightly...I think so! I so agree with what you say here!
Blessings as your working time begins again...and we will ask Abba Father to provide just the exact spot you need...and to me, it is really a need when it comes to a place that has not been smoked up!!
amen
elizabeth ... i like that, "wear this world lightly" ... i think if we really thought about it, and did just thought - we just wouldn't stress so much! blessings to you!
