Friendship Friday
Anything Goes

and

Finish the Sentence Friday
"The best decision I ever made..."


...was to fall in love with God. When I am motivated by the love that flows from the heart of God, then my actions are a testimony to that love. It helps me to be the person that I am today and it helps me to make wise decisions.

I have a wonderful husband who made the same choice when he was a young adult. Together we are building our home on a good foundation, the Rock of Jesus. That does not mean that we are perfect. We acknowledge our faults and apologize regularly.

Here's a poem I wrote a few years ago:



Let my home be a safe haven
One to be counted among the best
May its walls build hope and its floors mercy
And may its rooms offer peace and rest

May its roof be a symbol of protection
May its ceilings teach us Your ways
And may the gates stand for honor
Together adding joy to our days

by Christina Morley

You can find my poems on
Consider the Lilies Poetry.

Awww! Thanks, Janine. Tonight I'm missing my little girl. She's sleeping over at her grandparents' until Tuesday. One of her sisters (my 13 year-old) is there with her and they are sleeping side-by-side, so she will be fine. They have one week of school holiday. :)

Thanks, Kristi! I enjoyed reading your story and I watched the little video of Tucker. I can see that he's doing well, that he's happy and content. Take care and God bless!

He plays a big role in my life too. What would we do without Him?
While the weekend is gone, the pictures and testimonials remain. Thank you for putting a smile in my face this Monday Morning with that lovely poem.
Our home should always be our little heaven in earth.
Blessing to you and your family.
