A Few Tears

I must confess to having a little cry tonight. Chris and I had just finished putting in the last window in the upstairs of the house we’ve been building as the sun set. He rigged up a few lamps the other day in the building, so I turned them on and then went outside and down into the meadow to have a look at the house. I couldn’t believe how beautiful it looked! Made me feel very emotional.  The warm lamplight transformed the house and made it look so welcoming. I could almost hear the happy voices and laughter of our children spilling out from it. It made me look forward to finishing the house and moving in and filling it with joy. Boy, what a great feeling it will be! And knowing that we’ve built it all ourselves will be a pretty amazing feeling also! What a wonderful journey it’s been.
