As some of you may know and as news to others, my family lives in the Midwest (where I was born and lived the first 30 years of my life) while I reside in the wonderful state of TEXAS!! Yet my family is with me, ever present in mementos around my home. So that, while we are parted by years and miles, I think of different family members almost on a daily basis. The placement of small items that bring different people to mind, whether friends or family, is a wonderful way to keep them in mind and to offer those unspoken prayers of protection and blessing on them throughout the day, week or whenever.
One such treasure that I have was a gift from my sister more years ago than I can even remember. She had a Homespun Christmas that year and made all of the Christmas ornaments for her tree and sent me several extras for my tree. That way we could think of each other on Christmas even though we couldn’t spend the holiday together.
There are several others packed away with Christmas decorations but I have kept this lovely single heart on my linen closet knob in our master bathroom. Every day, every time I am either at my vanity or in the shower or reaching for a clean towel, or just passing by, I think of my sister Jennie and say a teeny prayer of thanks for the wonderful thoughtful person that she is.
It has been too many years since I have been back to the Midwest for a visit and I guess there’s a bit of homesickness setting in. Life with growing teenagers and young adult men is hectic for sure and investing myself in their lives is what is top priority at this time. But, it brings a smile to my heart to know that she’s thinking of me too!
Summer is quickly going by and I hope you spend time with your family and loved ones while the sun is high in the sky and the days are long.
Blessings on your week!

Katherine,
Just a reminder to talk to Rene about making your pics clickable. It would sure be great to click on the picture of this wonderful ornament and see a larger version. Love, B
