I know that if they walked into my house, they would want to do the same thing - tear out all of the walls and start again. But these walls are my home, and even though the house may look shabby to some, it is my home and I always feel welcome here. I am making it a goal to make others feel welcome as well.Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-91455826654048144402015-08-22T02:31:29.830+10:002015-08-22T02:31:29.830+10:00That is just how I want my home to be.

It's a good goal, and you are achieving it in ways you didn't imagine. We're always learning what God wants from us, and what we want from ourselves. If we aren't changing, then we've either stopped listening, or we're acting out of fear. I don't think either of those applies to you, as I know you. I can't imagine your home NOT being welcoming. My home is a mess, but it's a pretty peaceful mess. Definitely old and worn!

Pero estoy segura de que el sentimiento maravilloso que inunda tu casa, no es el fruto de ese plan. Es al revés. Ese amor, que ya vivía en cada rincón, te inspiró este plan para poder expresarse en plenitud.<br />Tienes una familia preciosa. Y ellos también tiene la gran suerte de tenerte.

I had to leave my home most days to get some peace. I am not a great housekeeper but I do like clean floors and rugs, a clean kitchen with the sink polished up each morning, a clean bathroom and beds made. Washing is always up to date but cooking has lost its appeal since I have been on a very restricted diet. I need to clean out drawers and cupboards but I am still having to store my youngest daughter's teddy bear collection and other stuff as she has no room where she is living. I have great ideas which never seem to come to fruition due to my FMS and things have to be practical for wheelchair access with hubby. I love my little quilts displayed and nice pure essential oils burning when I am at home. I think you are doing an amazing job with your home and family. Angel hugs.

Your comfortable personalized space shared with family and friends. I have often seen the "welcome" signs in your photos. A simple vignette with your wonderful hand-stitched designs...that is a welcome sight. Your post is very touching and something more homes and families should strive for. Blessings Dear...

When we get glimpses of your home it always looks gorgeous & welcoming & I always, always get a crink in my neck peering so closely at the screen.

You love your home, but more important you seek to honor the Lord by loving him and that flows out of you when people enter your door. Therefore, they feel comforted and at home where you are. You have a wonderful way of articulating what you feel in words.<br />Have a blessed day my precious sister in the Lord!Cyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240469953871800016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-84691913100097362862015-08-20T10:33:52.683+10:002015-08-20T10:33:52.683+10:00A wonderful, happy and welcoming post.A wonderful, happy and welcoming post.Kayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230822866065980056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-22241023717349434572015-08-20T10:05:05.503+10:002015-08-20T10:05:05.503+10:00Another great post as usual.
