A place to call home

In a whilst time, we'll have a place to call home. It's a small house in a beautiful place (I call "my colorado"). The kids are always asking when they're going to shift. May faces their many questions. And she's working fast to get the paper work done. The home will be bought this March when we go down. We'll pay for the title of the house 1st. Payment for the land rights will follow later on. Renovations will start once the former owners shift out in the 1st week of April.

When we're there this March, we'll have to settle on the materials, the tilings, the staircase, partitions, shelvings, toilet bowl, cooking stove... lotsss... and of course the actual renovation costings and floor plan, since we will be making it a proper double-storey house with sky garden :) Lord, please bless the house, all who live in it now, all who will be living in it, all who will be visiting it and all who will be working on it! :)

I see a

double-storey painted house

where lives unfold

and children grow

Christ, the head of this household.

The ground floor is a place of welcome,

where meals are prepared

and the day's events are shared.

Prayers are said,

people are blessed

and the hungry are fed.

The second floor is a place of study,

a little library,

for one to learn and read

about the world around and beyond.

It's also a place of rest

where tired feet go and bodies a'slumber

till a new day awakens

The third floor, is really a rooftop,

a cherished sky garden

where the morning sun is greeted

by ginger and onions,

eggplants abundant.

Here the evening sky is marvelled

the stars light up the darkness

and the moon shows off her illuminated glow.

Here we'll wait all night

for another meteorite shower.
