Settling In Part 3

I hope that in your area of the world the weather is getting warmer and everyone is healthy. It is rainy and colder here today. I am sitting at my desk looking at the raindrops on the window and listening to the rain fall. Oh! I love rainy days when the rain falls hard enough that you can hear it throughout the house. This kind of weather brings me to feel quiet and peaceful. I am just amazed at the way God cleans everything! I especially notice this today because our yard is not seeded yet so there is dirt everywhere. The transformation is welcome and appreciated.

We are settling into our new home nicely. It is strange that we are not frantic to get everything done immediately. We work on unpacking and arranging everything of course, but there are many moments of snuggling on the couch (all FIVE of us), laughing, playing and just enjoying having a more permenant home. I get excited about interesting things. One example was picking up our recycling bins yesterday. Haha! I am so excited to have clean, pretty (yes, they are pretty) bins to put my recycling in! I was happy to learn trash pick up happens 2 nights a week. Isn't that funny? I am really enjoying cooking and doing laundry in "our" home. I have so much more of what I need at my fingertips.

Today, I am taking Miss Jane to the vet for an ear infection (I think). I hope that God will help us find a good, trust-worthy vet. I am becoming a lot more familiar with the area. I am exploring more (but not a lot) and am enjoying everything being pretty close. Hopefully, we will be able to find a church home soon. We are still looking but perhaps now that we have a new "starting point" we will find a great family of believers.

Thank you Lord for today! Thank you for the quietness and contentment of my heart. Thank you for the rain and the clean, freshness of this blessing. Please keep my precious friends safe and warm.
