little house, BIG GOD

Busy Month!

I want to apologize to my regular readers for my lack of attention to this blog. We've had a very happy, busy month. Also, my computer broke down. Which is not so happy.

We have these great new friends, Hoyt and Billie. They have three children who fit in nicely in the age groups of ours. We decided that a meal together was much needed, so they came over for Sunday lunch.

Guests always pose problems around here since we have so little space. In fact, I think that this issue is the most difficult for me to get over, because I like people and I love hostessing. In my dream house, we have a table that seats at least ten and an eat-in kitchen for the spill-over.

With this event, besides praying for sun so that the kids could play outside, we set up a table in the living room for the kids and the adults, as well as the three littlest kids, get to eat at the dining room table (remember is in the room as all of our homeschool supplies and Corbin's window seat bed).

It isn't perfect, but it beats waiting until that dream house shows up with its table for ten. I'm a bit disappointed that we won't be able to have a crowd over for the holidays this year. I'm trying not to think about "what if it's next year" that our house is done. I'm trying to focus on the meaning of good friends and fellowship and holy days and do what I can with the things I have.

I've been invited to do a little writing for one of my favorite websites. When I get the article done and have it posted, I'll let everyone know.

I just missed ya! We're getting in holiday preparation mode here and I'm anxious to hear your ideas about how you handle the holidays in a frugal, small-space, Christ-centered way! Glad all is well. Blessings...
