Full Heart

I always dreamed of having a full house with lots of kids running around and friends who felt at home in our home. Recently I have realized that though only 2 of the kids are mine, the dream has become reality. I am blessed with friends who know that they are welcome in our home as well as all their munchkins. Even though sometimes I am wiped out at the end of the day, I am most fulfilled when I know that my family and I have been a blessing on any given day. It could be as simple as just welcoming a friend to hang out at my house for the day to combat loneliness or depression, babysitting little ones to give a mom a long deserved break or a quick phone call to let someone know they are on my mind. I truly feel as if my heart is overflowing somedays as I get to be a vessel for God to flow through and touch other people. I am certain in my own strength and desire that very little of this would come to pass. I am excited to see what else is in our future as we continue to have an open heart and home.
