Thankful for Home

Some thoughts about the blessing of home

Cottage surrounded by flowers and trees




“It didn’t work out because you would have hated that life.” Sincerely, God 

“You’re such a homebody.” Yes… because you didn’t see the prayers it took to have this home, these walls, and the life inside them. 

Maybe living your best life just means slowing down enough to see how good it already is. 

For indeed, a house is a little church.

    Oh my goodness these are just the messages I need right now… so many thanks… it is vital to give thanks for what already is….yes. I need to know that right now in my situation with the neglect my son suffered in a group home here when they did not take him seriously asking for help on June 2….. and God brought me a fine attorney.. miracle so we can gain insight on how to bring awareness to these kinds of situations so they do not happen to others. No revenge.. no hate.. just justice in Christ. and Life IS GOOD right now you have given me the answer to be grateful and I am so … thank you Sallie for your beautiful life and it shown forth in Light for the world. Much Love and Gratitude to you and your husband and daughter. Love Merri lyn Mc Elderry in Northfield Minnesota … so grateful for you all.
