“Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.”
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Â
The quote above is one of my favorites! I love being at home. Honestly, if I didn’t absolutely have to, I don’t know that I would ever leave.  And, I love that it is both my privilege and responsibility to turn our house into more than just a place to eat, sleep, and store our belongings.Â
Â
But, truthfully, this house is not ours. It is a blessing from the Lord! And, one that we, as a family, want to use to bless, encourage, and minister to others. I want our home to be a center, not for “entertaining,” but for biblical hospitality…
Â
Thank you, Lord, for this blessing. May others be drawn to You because of how we use it.
