HOME.....

It is true....There is no place like HOME.  In recent years, I have learned that HOME is relative.  Literally, it's relative and its A relative.. LOL but seriously.  I'm learning that HOME is not so much a place but can be a person.  It is spending time with someone you love dearly and means a lot to you.  It's a familiarity of something, it's a feeling.  Yes, home is much more than a place.

Shortly after my father died almost 4 years ago, the physical structure, the house, that I grew up in and called home changed.  The house itself it still standing and honestly it gives me the heebie geebies to pass by it.   It is just a really weird feeling. I know that will change one day but right now, it just doesn't seem right.  Regardless, my mother moved to a new house.  No, it's not the same house as I guess up in, doesn't have the same feeling and emotion invoked when I go there, but I still call it home.  Because home is not the house, Home is my mom.

It is always GREAT to see my mom.  It's working out that I am getting to see her every few months this year (Lord willing).  One of those times was this past weekend.  I went to Augusta this past weekend to spend the Easter holiday with her.  We had a nice time and even went old school and took Easter pictures.  (I've included a few of my lil boogers and my family.)

We used to do that after service EVERY Easter, right after we got home.  It was GREAT to do it again and even have a couple of sisters there to share in the joy. It was the feeling of HOME.

I'm so blessed to have the family that I do.  I am so thankful and grateful to the Lord for each of them and the roles that they play in my life.  They too are "Home" for me.

So that's it, yall.  April 6th post is a wrap.  But I can't end without being cliche :-)  - Home truly is where your heart is.  Tell me - where or shall I say WHO is your "home"?


Until next time....
