. . . to come home from Boy Scout camp tomorrow. His furniture is all freshly painted white, and his chocolate bar and stack of new bird magazines await him.
That is a beautiful picture. And how nice to know that mail is patiently waiting you? He is a lucky boy indeed! And to have newly-done furniture and lovely flowers as well? I wish that such things awaited my family at home. Thank you for inspiring me to make our home a more welcoming place!
I am finding that showing kindness to our children as they grow up reaps great rewards.
When we arrived at the cottage our daughter and her family had rented in Lancaster County, I knew which was our bedroom without asking (we arrived when they were attending a church service in a nearby town).
There was a basket on a bed in one of the bedrooms which had a collection of sugar free chocolates (for me), chocolate pecan candies (her dad's favorites), and a few issues of Country Living.
Someday you will visit your children and find beauty awaiting you as those are the seeds planted in their youth. :)

It's the little things that make coming home so comforting, isn't it? And I always love sifting through the mail.
