I have recently taken on the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge.
This week’s theme is “Spring.”
Last week’s theme was “Home.”
I didn’t get involved in the challenge in time to publish a photo for the “Home” theme,
but I decided to make a little graphic anyway, because I really like this verse:
I enjoyed looking at some of the other postings for last week.
Here are a few that were special to me:

There were interestingly different interpretations of the theme — not all were about human homes!
They included a spider web and bird houses, similar to these that I photographed in our back yard.
Last week I shared a blog by the Bennetts, an American missionary family living in Tokyo.
They were instructed by their mission to travel 700 miles south to an area of Japan
that would be safer for their family.
This turned out to be a challenging trip,
due to a shortage of gasoline and earthquake damage to the crowded roadways.
I was thankful to read that they got safely to their destination,
although they miss their Japanese neighbors and hated to have to leave their home.
Hopefully, this will be only a temporary situation for them.
Many of us take our homes for granted.
The size and beauty and value of all of our homes are relative terms.
There will always be people who live in more stately and magnificent homes than we do –
and sadly there are millions of people who live in habitations we would hardly even consider to be a home(!)
Within a few miles of our home are houses with partially dirt floors
AND a house for sale for almost $20 million!!
All of them are “home” to somebody!
The link below is to a post from “We Are THAT Family.”
It fits right in with my thoughts today.
I’d like to share it and recommend that you take time out to read what Kristen has to say
about what’s really important in making a home.
