Home…
We love our home. Growing up we have lots of memories. Ben thinks of fresh baked cookies, chocolate chip banana muffins…. yum! I think of a hot cup of coffee out on the deck with my two dogs running around. Then there is our home on Melbourne where we think of the days with Liza and Jacquie, youth coming over late on fridays, lots of BBQ’s with friends! Ah… Home.
Don’t misunderstand us, of course we love to travel, and we know the needs overseas, but nothing will ever replace Winnipeg as our home! We are excited to go home in a month – July 6th to be exact! But we still have four more books of the bible left, and a short time in California to visit Ben’s family that live there. We will also miss Kona, it has become another home with our cozy little room and porch, the view of the ocean everyday, and of course, can’t forget the ferrel cats! (See blog below).
Here are a few quotes on home:
-
He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
There’s nothing half so pleasant as coming home again. -Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
-
Home, the spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. -Robert Montgomery
-
"We live in an age when pizza gets to your home before the police." -Jeff Marder (this one was just funny in a sad sort of way!)
-
"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home." -John Howard Payne (1791 – 1852)
So everyone, see most of you soon! We’re coming back home…
