"A Birth, a Wedding, and a Death"
"'When I was a child I heard an old minister say that a house was not a real home until it had been consecrated by a birth, a wedding, and a death . . . . "

One of my favorite books.

Not many real homes around these days, then, are there? Unless they are very old.
A home fully seasoned in life....

Love Anne of Green Gables! My 27 year old son just got married, we have had several deaths and three births! Much 'life' lived in our home!
Praying your week is blessed with busy hands and happy/joyfilled hearts!
Kind Regards,

My grandmother says the same thing. We are just down the lane from the home where she grew up & her siblings were born there...parents died there....& my grandmother and her sister had a double wedding there in 1946. (all IN the house!) We have had a death (my mother) and two births (my children) of residents of our 20-year old house--I eagerly anticipate someone's wedding! An at-home wedding sounds wonderful. The schoolhouse is surely a true home....a setting for lives well-lived.
Makes me want to read my "Anne books" all over again.....
