I think we’re home (James)

December 8th, 2005

I’m waiting for my computer to update before going home.

Home.

This week, while still a bit disheveled has been “normal.” [N.B. "normal" for the Lansberrys is not at all what you might think of and it's much more than a setting on your dryer]

Every morning we have gotten up at Ebenezer House and no one has thrown up. Every evening this week we have had dinner and family worship. Chores are getting done. Boxes keep disappearing. Learning is taking place, and my wife is even sane enough to blog about it.

Last night I pulled a book off the shelf that I’ve been curious about and began reading it to the children at bedtime. Tonight we’re having Ben-Ezras (mmmm . . . Ben-Ezras) for supper. We sent a meal today to a family who just had a baby.

I don’t have my own blog anymore, and so I’ll occasionally be posting thoughts about our experience in the ‘hood here for those who read it. God has been good to us and I look forward to many years of witnessing to the manifold grace He’s given.

“And I hope by Thy good pleasure safely to arrive at home.”

We’re home–at least as “home” as we can be until we get Home.
