I am thankful that Jared and I were fortunate enough to purchase a house. I am thankful that our house has central heating and cooling. I am thankful that in our house we have hot and cold running water. I am thankful for a great many things about our house, but mostly I am thankful that it feels like home.
My husband and our daughter have helped to make this building into a loving environment where I feel safe and welcome. I definitely would not feel the same way about this house without either one of them. I am so thankful that our home is filled with love and laughter and joy.
I hope that this place will continue to feel like home until it is time for us to move on. And then I hope that this house will be able to become some other lucky family's home and keep them warm and sheltered just as it has done for us. I pray that Jared and I will be able to use our ownership of this house to glorify God in some way and that when it is time for us to leave this house behind that we will leave in such a way that God is glorified even more.
So today I am thankful for my house.
