Well....it's an "I can't sleep, maybe I'll blog" kind of night.  Just tossed and turned until I decided to stop fighting it! :)  Guess I'm dreaming of "home".  Very anxious to get settled in our new house in about a week.  We are staying with my brother and sister-in-law as we have sold our city house and getting ready to close on a new place in the country.  Was looking through photos tonight and found this one of an old Caledonia homestead.  It looks like someone has loved it plenty.  The stones of the fireplace probably didn't get placed there in a day!  The logs in the cabin were obviously hand hewn and built with shelter and perhaps a family in mind.  And then there is the expanded house...with more space and more windows - most likely an upgrade for a new or growing family.  We can only guess, but whatever the history or stories here, it is a pleasant picture to contemplate...and it somehow makes me happy!  Perhaps because I look forward to my own place to hang a hat (or farm equipment!) soon.  

Lord, I pray for Your favor and blessing on the move ahead.  May our home be welcoming to many a friend and family.  May Your light and life be clearly present there.  And....may You keep it and all who enter safe and filled with a constant hunger for more of You!
