Good Morning!What are you thankful for this morning? Today I am thankful for my house. It is not huge by any means, though so many poor in this world would think it a mansion. My house is old. The windows are drafty and in the winter time we get a nice little coating of ice forming on them due to the air leakage. But when it is cold outside and you come inside, it is a whole lot warmer inside the house than out! Even with drafty windows! It is a retreat from the world. A place we can rest, play, study and sleep. And I am thankful for it--it is a gift from God.
I'm sure you already know that the Bible talks about houses. Here is one of my favorite "house" verses:
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:1-3
Home. A place to be together. A place to live with God.
What are YOU thankful for today?

Amen.
I am thankful for my houuse as well. Having been without one, truly a home of any sort style or size is a blessing.
