God has given me a gift.  “What gift?”, you ask.  “One of those mentioned in Ephesians 4:11-13 or 1Corinthians 12?”

No, my friends.  God is sending me house guests at the end of February.   Not house guest; house guests–five of them.

“But”, you reply “that’s future tense and you spoke in past tense.”

Let me explain.  First, take a look at the guest bedroom.  Here’s a photo of where they will be sleeping.

January 8th, after 5 bags of stuff went to good will

This is the room that needs to become a toy room for the kids so that our livingroom is more of a haven of rest for my family than an obstacle course where one might fall and break a hip.  But first, it’s going to be a guest bedroom for the second time in the five years that we’ve owned this house.  See how good God is?  He knew that I needed an intermediate step and He provided one.  With a deadline.
