My House - My Home

My House – My Home I live in a house, God’s gift to me, So I dedicate it to Him as his own. A place where quiet spaces be; A table, a chair, a couch and a lamp, A cross on the wall with pictures, Cozy rooms for sleeping, A sunshine deck for reading, This kitchen of worship and radio music. And even a million meals; A tiny dog curled in sleep and peace. Once this house was filled with strife, and then Once this house sheltered a healing family; Now it is a home, a house no more A welcome place of God’s forgiveness And grace.

Nicely done, Sunlite. Home IS the ultimate sanctuary -- not just against the storm, but more importantly from the inside, as the hearth where G-d resides. Kudos, my friend. :) gw

Your home sounds wonderful Sunlite Wanter, Cozy, peaceful and full of faith, a sanctuary where if you wish to talk to God, you can, and in your mind you hear his voice. This happened to me actually when my father died, i was inconsolable, and went and sat in my favorite part of the house and heard Gods voice, was it in my mind or real, I cannot say but I heard Him Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
