Homesick

God's word reminds us that this world is not our home. Do you ever feel like a stranger...like an alien...like you're not sure where to park for a while? It's really a GOOD thing. I don't want to be settled/complacent. But why is it so hard sometimes? And how on earth do you explain it to someone?!! Maybe my blog will help you understand. I hope you enjoy.

Passing the torch

Once upon a time my sister and I gave our mother a hideous sweater. It was not really that bad at the time. We were Abi and Bailey's ages (11 and 9) so it was sort of in style back then...in the 80s when fashion was of utmost importance. Anyway, Mother wore said sweater EVERY time we saw her for YEARS! We finally said, "No more sweater" and stole it from her. Ever since the sweater has been passed around (secretly) from one of us to the other. The stupid thing has turned up in the oddest places...including my closet in UGANDA! This year we wondered who would get it for Christmas. After all gifts had been opened and none of the 3 of us had received it, another gift mysteriously appeared. And this time it was for ABI!! Yes, the torch has been passed. It is now Abi's turn to smuggle the sweater into someone else's stuff without them knowing it. Doesn't she look so proud?! Don't you wish YOU could have the sweater? Posted by Picasa
