HOME: Where the Heart Is

I am coming home.

I resigned my job at the bank

in a neighboring county

and I am coming home. 

There's nothing quite like home.

Home is not just a location.

As they say, 

"Home is where the heart is."

My heart is in many places 

so I find "home" to be 

more than one place. 

It's where I am 

when  I'm with my children

and my big boy, 

Nashville, TN.

It's where I am 

when I'm spending time with the man

whom I've loved 

for more than 35 years.

It's the quiet moments of 

the early morning 

when I'm alone with my Maker,

whether I'm sitting on the sofa 

in my living room 

or the sands 

of the seashore 

basking in HIS wondrous creation.

It's where I am when I'm 

giving and sharing with 

a group of young people 

who are REAL,

who truly desire to know 

that God is REAL

and that 

Someone loves them.

It is with this group that I am free to be 

REAL-

known and loved anyway.

It's where I am when I'm creating

because God created

and continues to create beauty from ashes.

He constantly reminds me to 

come HOME.

He reminds that my frame was not hidden from 

Him when I was made in the secret place. 

Home, 

where the light is always on

and the door is always open.

Tonight, 

my heart feels at home, 

Bonnie:)
