Vision For a Godly Home

If you have a Vision for a Godly Home; are seeking a home of Peace and Joy, where the heart of Jesus is reflected, I pray this blog will be of encouragement to you. Grab a chair, pour yourself a cup of coffee...let's reflect and ponder together... "Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest; Home-keeping hearts are happiest, For those that wander they know not where Are full of trouble and full of care; To stay at home is best." ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Practice of the Presence of God

A view from our front door on a most beautiful summer eve...

There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful, than that of a continual conversation with God: those only can comprehend it who practice and experience it; yet I do not advise you to do it from that motive; it is not pleasure which we ought to seek in this exercise; but let us do it from a principle of love, and because God would have us.

~Brother Lawrence (1614-1691)
From The Practice of the Presence of God, Brother Lawrence
