The sign

The sign above in my banner...it's real...and it's really at my home....

It's right by my front door....
And, it greets all who come to our home....

And...lately...it's been welcoming a LOT...and you know what....I Love it!

I Love that our home has been filled with family....
That extra leaves have been added to the table...that there has been an abundance of food placed upon it...that it has been encircled by faces I Love...the sound of plates being filled....laughter being shared...and most of all LIFE HAPPENING!

When I think about a home...and I think about all that God gives us....Over & over again I keep feeling that  is His plan for me & us is that we take time to share our home and what we have with others....whether it be our own extended families, great friends, a neighbor....or even a new acquaintance....I believe our HOMES & TABLES are meant to be SHARED!  Unfortunately...I'm not that good at making my beliefs ring true...I'm not as good at inviting others over as I should be...why???  Maybe it's because often our life seems to be spinning out of control...maybe it's because my Mr. isn't home much...maybe it's because I'm a clutter queen and always feel like my home is too messy...maybe, maybe, maybe.....But, I so want our home and table to give & receive more....which really = simply inviting others to share a meal with us!
And...this last weekend, as I sat around our table, watching, listening, looking, & feeling....I just knew it was Right....it just made me happy!    So what's happening at your table???  Is it being filled with Love & laughter???  Are others feeling blessed by your abundance???  Are hands being held in a circle of prayer??? 

I always wonder when I go into antique stores and see a table...what happened around it...what did the families talk about, how did they make their living, what meals were served, and stories told???  Does that table have a legacy???

Hmmmm....imagine that...a table leaving a legacy???  I hope one day mine does just that....and I'm hoping for more and more moments of my table being encircled in Love.   Sweet Blessings!

P.S. And, if you're ever in my neighborhood feel free to stop in and pull up a chair at our table  :D
