The months are dropping off the calendar like the autumn leaves. We have enjoyed some beautiful colors in the Appalachian mountains lately; we are very thankful to live in a beautiful part of the country.
This is my reflection time of the year; to be precise I count my blessings of my home. My parents’ home; the cornerstone of my early spiritual development, loved unconditionally, and protected from worldly wiles. This home, the home DH and I formed with our children. It’s not perfect, but its full of fond memories, lots of love, and is a cozy refuge from life’s storms.
There’s no place like, Home Sweet Home.
You know I’m a dreamer, but my heart’s of gold
I had to run away high so I wouldn’t come home low
Just when things went bad doesn’t mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you’ll never be left all alone
Take me to your heart – feel me in your bones
Just one more night and I’m coming off this long and winding road
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Home Sweet Home
Tonight, tonight, I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Home Sweet Home
You know that I’ve seen too many romantic dreams
Up in lights falling on the silver screen
My heart’s like an open book for the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing keeps me together at the seams
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Home Sweet Home
Tonight, tonight, I’m on my way
Just set me free
Home Sweet Home…
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Home Sweet Home
Yeah, I’m on my way
Just set me free
Home Sweet Home
Although I am not a heavy metal fan, this is one song by Motley Crue that I enjoy. Today, I will share two contemporary country artists covering the 1985 original.
I give you contender # 1, Justin Moore.
Now, listen to contender #2, Carrie Underwood.
Do you count the blessings of your home when you give thanks? Are you grateful for your home despite the faults you see in it? I do and even though I’d rather live in my dream house I know I have it better than many others; this brings things into perspective and humbles me in the process.
