The Heart of the Home
The Heart of the Home seeks to equip women as they study God's Word
and encourage them to treasure God with all of their heart
(Matt 6:19-21), and guard their heart (Prov. 4:23),
by recognizing that they are the heart of the home.

Yesterday DH's unit made it safely home. All the soldiers. Praise God they are all safe.
It was a sweet reunion. DH gave the Invocation for the ceremony so he was able to visit us in the bleachers beforehand and that was a sweet and special surprise. DS is thrilled beyond words. Life already feels back to normal even with him just being home a little over 24 hours now.
There were mixed reviews on the kitty front. Dusty was pleased as punch to see Daddy. Well, pretty much for him, if it is someone to pet him, he is happy. Sadie was less enthusiastic. Her enthusiam (not), dwindled when we went to bed last night and HE got in "her" side of the bed. We were sitting there talking and kept hearing little huffs from her while she sat on the floor beside the bed. She quickly got over it this morning when Daddy got up and fed them royally. They each got their own can of food instead of the usual Mommy starvation plan of splitting a can between them.
God is good and we are enjoying being a family again. Enjoy the few pictures I got of his homecoming. I was so excited I forgot to take many. *grin*

Praising God for his safe return... and for the return of the whole unit! I could just cry for you and your family. Thank you for your sacrifice for US. It really goes beyond words.
Love,
Marsha

GODSPEED by Edmund Blair Leighton (1900)
In medieval times, a knight wore the colors of his lady when competing in tournaments or going to battle. The knight would replace his coat of arms with the lady's colors. By offering a scarf or other small piece of clothing, it was one visible way a lady showed her devotion to her knight and also encouraged him. This went along with one of the knightly vows of protecting a lady and her interests, even unto death. This painting represents this medieval tradition.
I choose this as a representation of my blog for all the military wives who send their knight-husbands to work each day, send them to the field for training, or see their husbands deploy .
My blog will have some of my personal thoughts on our own journey of homeschooling or other insights or encouragements I have the leading to share.
My prayers are with each and every one of you who visit my blog.
