Truly loved the "cosy corner" photo - I would like to discover my daughter curled in a cosy corner like that someday. I think I would climb right in and ask her to tell me a story. :-)juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376948584403069475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-81940209340708852932010-07-29T19:49:40.670-07:002010-07-29T19:49:40.670-07:00what a perfect, perfect, perfect thing for me to r...what a perfect, perfect, perfect thing for me to read today! <br />i mostly enjoy "simple living"... but i took a weekend trip w/ the girls and we stopped at anthropologie and pottery barn and well, you see, it was hard not to long for the beauty and the just-so-perfect accessories. <br />but i come home, to a half clean kitchen and 3 lovely messy boys and i'm HOME. home in the arms of the one i love and home in the chaos of littles and home in my savior's grace. <br /><br />love this post.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971852036197350639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-79037480769671892162010-07-29T18:43:40.429-07:002010-07-29T18:43:40.429-07:00it's fun to look around our house, and to thin...it's fun to look around our house, and to think of the clutter we've cleared out to make room for living, and to see the clutter we've added by living happily... you have very good clutter. i could snoop at your house for hours.Bethany Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01767559135432032568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-74669061873462499232010-07-29T14:38:09.366-07:002010-07-29T14:38:09.366-07:00What beautiful images and perspective!

Your post reminds me of one of my favorite verses:<br /><br />"From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. For in Him we live and move and have our being."
