The Strangest Things...

The strangest things make me cry. Am at "our" house today. Cleaning out and packing up more things. Some of these things make me smile... like the countless candles and holders. I love candles... always have, always will.

For some reason when I took a cute "welcome friends" sign down off the side of the house, I broke down in tears. It was a gift from T. It's kind of kitschy, but it has hearts and acorns... some more of my favorite things. I remember when he put it up on the house. It made me smile every time I'd drive up to the house. I've always hoped it was the first thing that people saw and it would start to warm their heart.

But this house is no longer welcoming. And I have to process that. I don't think I have to be okay with it not being warm and welcoming anymore, but I can NOT let that affect me. My "home" is with Jesus. And I don't mean Heaven in this instance. I mean I'm Jesus' home. He's in me and with me everywhere I go. So, like a turtle, I take my home with me. Haha!!

I might have to add turtles as 'some of my favorite things'!!
