Day 31

 What I Have

October 31, 2012

I thought it would be fitting to wrap up these 31 days of Home. On Purpose with a reminder from the boy who painted on the outside of his house.  Fair warning, it’s about to get Jesusy up in these parts and this will stop you in your cute tracks:

Remember that?  I contacted one of my favorite artists, Colette from Raw Art Letterpress (I randomly came across her on etsy, last year, bought a print for my son’s room & her Mom is Love print ended up in my office) and she created this free download of Psalm 23:1 (Good News Translation) for you in honor of Topiwo and 31 Days and your home and being purposeful.
Here’s to creating a home with purpose  {*insert mental picture of all of us clinking our coffee cups cheers style*}.

 

This 31 Days has been a real blessing to me.  I've started to think purposefully about what I want for and in my home.  What my home means to me.  It has also reminded me of all the blessings I have, and how I need to be very grateful for my family.  Although my house is currently very small, it is filled with love.  And I am having an easier time seeing God's love and goodness in the ways He is providing for us.  Most of all, I am blessed to have my beautiful daughter and fun-loving husband.  There may be, hopefully will be, many good changes in the next few months, and maybe the opportunity to expand my home.  I hope the insights I've gained and written down during this past month will be invaluable tools to aid my in making a home.  On purpose.  And I will continue following this lady's lovely blog.  And maybe go back and rewrite that terrific posts on words to use for me home.  So much learned.  So much left to do.  So much to look forward to.  Thank you, Lord, for your blessings.  Amen.
