from home to house

four walls make a room

many rooms make a house

empty or filled

a house is a house

furniture begins to personalize

staking a claim

but still a house

just furnished well

the splashes 

art, pillows, collectibles

is what we use

to begin creating home

our insides displayed

in an external manner

this house has been home

a picture of who I have become

layered with sheep

pictures of Jesus holding lambs

crosses, candles

needlework done by my mother's hand

plants that thrived at Rick's touch

these are the things

I am packing with love

storing away

like memories safely filed

we have found people

who love this collection of rooms

and pray that they will splatter them

with new life, their lives

while we plan to learn

that our true home

is where ever He takes us

wrapped in His plans

His purposes

and His unfailing love

we shall move on

Yes, because God’s your refuge,

    the High God your very own home,

Evil can’t get close to you,

    harm can’t get through the door

Psalm 91:9-10 The Messsage
