"There is...

... nothing like staying at home for real comfort." 

Jane Austen


Home is singing....


...and reading good books.


It is meals around the table, in the early morning...


...and at night.


Home is babies,


and children.


It is hanging laundry on the line,


It is mugs of hot tea,


It is fresh, homemade bread.


It is creativity,


... drawing...


...and plants hanging in windows.


It is sunshine,


it is muddy boots...


and flowers on the table.


It is beauty in God's creation...


...complete with splashes of color!
~
However, the most important thing about home is to remember that...

~

"Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it..."
Psalm 127

  9. Rosie,
    I love the pictures. Your family shows what family life is all about. Not the running around, fast food, and such. The creativity is something that is lost on so many people. You give everyone a hug and a thank you for me. You really brighten my day.
