new home

Anyone who has moved into a new home or an apartment knows that it takes some time to get used to a new place. Of course there is the initial excitement and anticipation of making it your own and dreaming of all the things you can do there. So when you first move in not all the boxes get fully unpacked right away, and you’re not sure where to hang the pictures, or what goes in what closet, or which piece of furniture goes better in the corner etc… And if there are children you know too that it takes some time for everyone to work out personal space issues, like who gets which bedroom, who gets to use the TV room for the play station, where’s the best place to hang out… can you relate? My family at Hope Fellowship is experiencing this very thing as we move in to a new home this week. We too have to figure out where everything goes and how we're going to fit in and use the space to its full potential, exciting times for us tho. And we do look forward to worshipping our God there but we also want our home to be welcoming. Our doors are open and we love to have visitors. They say that a house is just a house but a family makes it a home. Well a church is just a building, it's the people that make it a community. So as we get the final details together we'll be sure not to forget a very important item; the welcome mat. peace, m
