Birmingham and face the changes of life, but that is life. I don't really adjust to change as well as I would like to think I do. Im kind of sour about it. I am thankful though, that even in the changes, relocations, and all the surprises life brings ... home is still where the heart is.
This weekend home to me, life to me, was:
Watching Clayton run to the door when I arrived with all smiles yelling, "Enin!!!!"
Seeing my brother play college football and welling up with pride for him.
Talking with friends about life through glassy eyes and the next minute laughing until it hurt.
Visiting with my Grandparents about my trip to Peru and telling them how it changed me.
Going to lunch with my Aunt and talking about the future, the joys & pains life brings.
Hugging a friend really tight that I know has been hurting.
Driving familiar roads late at night with my best friend, just like old times.
Holding 10 week old Turner as she slept, in peace.
I am thankful for the good things in the midst of the hard things.
I am thankful for change that never allows me to stay the same.
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said,
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” - Heb 13:5
But I am thankful that HE never, ever, ever changes.
Home is there. Home lies in Him.
