There's NO Place Like Home


Even Dorothy knew that truth...there is no place like home, is there? We can travel the world over, enjoy every moment and tuck the memories we made away in our minds, but in the end, HOME is where we want to be. At the end of the day, HOME beckons us to its' door. At the moment our foot steps through our front door, we are at peace, we are comforted, we are home. All is well with us when we come home. When we close the front door, trouble seems to cease. After all, everything is familiar there, our own bed, our own pillow, our own kitchen, our own space that we live, breathe and have our being in. Home...ohhhh, it feels so good and there's just no place like it.

Wednesday, one of our own came HOME. How wonderful to walk in to church Wednesday night and see our Kaitlin back with us. I have no doubt that her coming HOME brought peace and joy to her heart. I know her homecoming brought joy to mine.

Life takes us on many journeys. We travel far and wide for education, for leisure travel, and for business, but always...when we are HOME, we are at peace and all is right with us and the world.

Welcome HOME Kaitlin...welcome HOME. There's no place like HOME and we're glad you're here.

Thank you, thank you, thank you...I can't say it enough. You, Summer, Sue, CaCa, the list of names could go on for paragraphs...thank you for loving my family. I'm so grateful to God for bringing you into my life and into the life of my family. How you responded to Kaitlin this week has meant so much. She needed it. She's had a tough lesson to learn this week, but she needed to learn it. But those tough moments were soon forgotten by the love you've shown her. Tears replaced by laughter and joy. I love you my friend--Deb
