Home

My husband has a new job! He will go again into the corporate world. He would rather have his own environmental busines but God had different plans for our lives. A door was closed a new one has opened, which seems even better for us. During this poor economical time, God opened a wonderful door for my DH!

God has opened a great door for my husband, and has taught me to be a more frugal wife with the gifts he has given us. I need to be home for my family, and for God's purpose to nurture and keep our home a place of peace. A place to take care of for our family of five.

I found this poem on a friend's blog. The alliteration in the first line gives the metaphor and is repeated throuhgout the poem. Having almost to go out and get a job in the outside world scared me, this poem touched my heart with a thankful heart. This poem says what the anxieties were in my mind.

If you prayed for our situation, Thank YOU>>>God has given us peace upon our shoulders.

HOME
by William Alexander Percy

I have a need of silence and of stars;
Too much is said too loudly; I am dazed.
The silken sound of whirled infinity
Is lost in voices shouting to be heard.
I once knew men as earnest and less shrill.
An undermeaning that I caught I miss
Among these ears that hear all sounds save silence,
These eyes that see so much but not the sky,
These minds that gain all knowledge but no calm.
If suddenly the desperate music ceased,
Could they return to life? or would they stand
In dancers’ attitudes, puzzled, polite,
And striking vaguely hand on tired hand
For an encore, to fill the ghastly pause?
I do not know. Some rhythm there may be
I cannot hear. But I oh, I must go
Back where the breakers of deep sunlight roll
Across flat fields that love and touch the sky;
Back to the more of earth, the less of man,
Where there is still a plain simplicity,
And friendship, poor in everything but love,
And faith, unwise, unquestioned, but a star,
Soon now the peace of summer will be there
With cloudy fire of myrtles in full bloom;
And, when the marvelous wide evenings come,
Across the molten river one can see
The misty willow-green of Arcady.
And then the summer stars … I will go home.
