Lighting a candle, I began in the entry. Moving about the house I did a reading for each space while friends felt the words wash through them and the space. It was lovely, it was hope, it was comfort and it was indeed a blessing.

As Christ’s light scatters the darkness in our lives, it comes into the home to bless those who dwell herein

Blessings on this space; for the food that is here and the hands that prepare it. May it nourish us in body and spirit and send us out to Be Jesus Christ to the World.

Blessings on those who gather here to find peace and comfort. May the light and comfort of this space bring peace to our hearts and minds.
FRONT PORCH
Blessings on this outdoor space, open to God’s creations. May it welcome and delight those who pass by; friends, neighbors and strangers. May this home’s love encircle all who enter.
From Psalm 24:3-4
By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with precious and pleasant riches.
In the name of Jesus Christ we ask for peace and joy to fill this home. Let understanding and wisdom be it’s foundation.
AMEN.
