My Heart 4 Home

Heart-Homemaking-Hospitality-Hope

Close to My Heart

September 19, 2013

Just taking a short break from packing to reflect on the last few days~
 
 
 
Packing your home for a move is so much more than preventing breakage of what you decide to take with you! For me, it has been many things…
 
…a time of grieving the loss of a house that I wasn’t yet ready to leave
 
…a time to release possessions that no longer have a space in our home but can be a blessing to others
 
…a time to remember those that have gifted me (and my family) with items that will always be a part of our home, and appreciating (and missing) the prayers that those individuals prayed on my behalf
 
…a time of preserving gifts that were given to me during a happier more peaceful time, and feeling a reminder in my soul that God is still in control and is hearing my prayers for reconciliation and restoration within our extended family
 
…a time of anticipation of the next adventure God is leading us on as we consider what goes and what stays, and creatively repurposing what we have so it fits into a significantly smaller space.
 
Above all, this has been a time to fully appreciate that home is wherever my husband, family, ministry, and dreams are.
 
Counting my blessings and loving that God gifted me with a Heart 4 Home!
 
Pam
