You often see "houses" for sale; however, it is almost never that you will find a "home" for sale. To me a house is the physical infrastructure that someone lives in. A home is the atmosphere that is created by those who live in the house. It takes very special people to make a home. As I watch my mom pack boxes of all of our special memories, I pray that the next chapter of their lives will be filled with great memories to get us through the rest of our lives. I am so thankful that our memories cannot be taken from us.
The last 2 months have really been a challenge for me. When you place your life in God's hand, you are up for an adventure. I remind myself of James 1:2-4, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
If you know someone going through a challenging time, don't be afraid to ask if there's anything you can do. Sometimes just the presence of someone there could save the day.
