Van,
Thanks for visiting me over at The Point. Hope you found something to encourage your heart.
Love this post. I have moved back home and it was great. I do pray that I am content no matter where the Lord leads me.
Beautiful blog.

I moved home after my divorce. I spent the next 3 years living across the street from my parents. Albeit for stressful reasons, it was a joyous season of living. After I remarried, I moved to NC with my husband. My parents have since relocated to NC, so we're close now, but it's still not like going home. My heart is forever tied to the Bluegrss of Lexington, KY.

My wife and I live at the other end of the spectrum. I love our six grown children, but were one of them to move back in with us, I'd wilt, wither up and whine.
We gave 'em roots, we gave 'em wings, but if they try to fly back to our now comfortable empty nest, I'd want to give 'em the boot.
Before Adam & Eve ever even had Cain and Able, God said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother...
Our children are our best friends in the whole world, we all live within a few miles of each other and often get together, but there's love in distance... Sorry but I'm beginning to rant. I'll be quiet now.
I used to long for the day I could move back "home." I missed New England, and I missed my family. That all changed when my mom died. Suddenly New England wasn't "home" any more. It was then I realized that "home" is not a place, but people.
Ever see that movie, "Hope Floats"? It was a great example of how impossible it is to go back. So I don't pine for New England any longer.
Although I do wish we lived somewhere with cooler New England-type summers!!
After 11 years away, there is the tiniest possibility, as of TODAY, that we might get this very opportunity...a move home! It's something that we've longed for, but I'm praying that we don't get ahead of God out of our desire.
If it proves to be His timing, and not just ours, I'll have to let you know how it goes! :o)
Thanks for your visit to my blog and your support of the prayer team.
Blessings,
Melinda
I am far away from my mom and sisters, but at this point in life I feel I am where God wants me to be. Maybe in the future he will shift the winds once more.
