Home is were your mess is…
Our RTA cabinets are great quality for money. However, the learning curve is a bit steep and the directions leave a bit to be desired. I wouldn’t even recommend them, unless you have one of these…’
My Loving Handy Spouse has spent a lot of time on the floor of our kitchen working on our mess.
Turning a mess into a treasure takes time and tools.
We people need the same, ears that hear with wisdom and truth.
Last week I was gifted a weekend with dear friends in my home town. When I get asked if I miss Southern California, I always say the same thing. I miss my family, special friends and La Cabinita’s green salsa. My friend tried to tell me, that La Cabinita had changed hands and the salsa might not be the same.
Isn’t that the truth, that going ‘home’ might not feel the same?
The weekend agenda was simple…talking, listening, laughing, shopping.
My suitcase had issues. Even though it was warm, I had to wear my bulkiest clothes. Crammed in the case was 6 white picture frames, a gifted wooden sign for the hen house, a new purse (that I NEEDED to carry the items that wouldn’t fit in the suitcase), one new top, 32 German sausages for Christmas eve dinner, a glass chicken bowl and a packet of shortbread.
“Home” should be a place or a people, where we can unpack our soul, our mess and find love, and truth and a hope to make a better life for those we serve. My dear sweet friends are also my ‘home’ as they embrace me and all of my messes and sooth my weary soul.
In the mess there should always be love and wisdom and…hope. My prayer for those who visit here, is that they will always feel free to share their ‘mess’ and find love and support.
PS: I don’t miss La Cabinita’s green salsa any more, but I am indeed, grateful and blessed.
Exciting to see progress on the kitchen! Can’t wait to get mine started but with guests arriving on Monday, it will have to wait!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh Ellen, thanks for the wonderful memory of your So Cal visit……I have always been envious of your creative skills, your willingness to embrace mucky jobs and now your packing skills are yet another one of your limitless skill set! Love you and miss you, Peggy
Oh, dear one, thank you for embracing me with all my messes.
With great love,
