My body ached for home this evening. As I shuttled children to dance, and dinner to daddy. As I braved icy rain drops in flip flops, because I didn't pay attention to the forcast. As I fought fatigue brought on by a mere five hours of sleep last night. As I drove dark, wet, and curvy roads with three children to keep safe, I craved my home.
Finally, at what seemed like midnight, but was actually 7:00, we arrived home. I quickly tucked three tired babies into their beds, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Home.
Dear Lord, Thank you for my home. Thank you for blessing me and my family with a nice, warm, safe home. I know it is only an earthly home, but it is so important for me now. Thank you God for this place to take refuge in, to raise children in. I am so grateful tonight for this blessing, for this Home.

On days like yesterday, I crave home. I crave the comfort of a warm fire, jammies and my people.
Love this reminder!
I think I was standing outside pumping gas AS it plummeted 30 degrees. Brrr! Those moments of contentment are great for the heart!
This was a sweet post. I am so glad you have such a warm home to go 'home' to.
We are blessed, aren't we?
I hope you're staying warm! And safe!! :)
Home is a wonderful place...I can't wait to see my eternal Home. Come Lord Jesus, Come!
