I can do 5 minutes today... "Welcome!"






Check out gypsy mama for rules. :o)
Writing today about the word - "Welcome."


Here we go, 10:27 pm...


Welcome!
Welcome to my house!
Welcome to my life!
Welcome. I'm more than you bargained for. ;o) Life is kinda crazy and I have four crazy kids, and my husband is crazy but thinks the other five of us are the most crazy. We are crazy loud, and he is crazy quiet.
Welcome! Come on in. We will love you for who you are. Kick your shoes off and have a seat. It's OK if your kid pees on my floor or doesn't like the snacks I have. You are welcome to stay. 
Welcome to a friendship with me. I would love to hear your secrets, but not to share. I just want to pray for you.
Welcome, sweet little children to my arms. Mommy loves you tons. :o)
Welcome, these hard times. You allow God to make me stronger. I learn the most from you.
Welcome, hot summer breeze. I hated being so cold. Now I am dried out like a piece of jerky, but I revel in it.
Welcome, sweet sleep. When I can get it!!
Are you enjoying this so far? You're welcome!! ;o)
Welcome, Holy Spirit. Please enter me each day and make me less of me in my me-ness and more of who Jesus wants me to be.
Welcome to all my new friends who stop by in the next few days to read this. It's just such an honor to have you here, and do a bit of life with you.


It's 10:32. Do you know where your "welcome" is?

  5. Oh how wonderful! A welcome list - I love it! And I especially loved reading your entries. And, at the risk of being uber-repetitive, I also loved the last line. Fabulous way to think about welcome. Thanks so much for sharing! Smiles -
