Community at it's finest

I have always had this dream & passion in my heart for Community, & being able to have a very open,

welcoming home with my Husband & children one day. 

So today I thought I would take some time & share a little about the God-given dreams, that I have hidden somewhere inside of me, 

that just make me wanna smile really big

& bring tears of joy, to my eyes :) 

~My Dream home 

I dream of people coming into my home & being able to know that they are always welcomed, loved, accepted, & cherished. 

I dream of having a home, 

where people can come to relax 

& talk vulnerably with me. 

I dream of a Big family, with lots of kids all different ages. 

I dream of having huge block parties with

all my unsaved neighbours. 

I dream of having a home where if you have no place to go, you always feel welcomed to come over. 

I dream of having all the neighbour kids running through the back door into the kitchen for fresh-homemade cookies. I dream of being able to Counsel young couples in my living room. I dream of seeing little kiddos give their hearts to Jesus, at my son's 10th birthday party.

I dream of having knitting classes in the back-yard with all my girls. I dream of my Pandora Bracelet overflowing with charms for each one of my kiddos! 

I dream of Adopting many young kids

 & being able to be that "Mum" they never had. Just even the thought of having one of those little innocent children looking up & asking me...

"Is it okay If I call you Mom?" 

Is simply heart wrenching to me. 

(Insert tears rolling down my face at the moment.) 

I dream of big movie nights & 

Bon fires in the summer.  

I dream of having an ice rink in the back yard durning the Winter for all the kiddos to play hockey, while us Moms take a tea-break. I dream of a big swing set!

(Not just for the kids, but for me too...I love swings!!) 

I dream of having 20+ teenage giggling-gals all piled into my basement with my daughters, durning Youth conferences. 

I dream of having, 

to always have the kettle on ;) 

I dream of having that house-hold 

of Community. 

Here are some photos I have been drooling over lately, 

Perfect ideas for the home!! 

Love this Family photo frame, 

Where everyone has a place! 

    

Kids Craft display wall!! 

Perfect, so everyone has a spot to show off their Creativity :) 

 

A well stocked & well kept, pantry to feed all those little hungry bellies ;) 

(If only Pantries really stayed that neat & organized...lol) 

 

A 'verse-of-the-week' board is such a sweet idea! I love this one especially... 

 

A big clean laundry room, 

for all the smelly football gear, ballet outfits, soccer uniforms,& the dozens upon dozens of mis-matching socks! 

I think you get the point, 

big family = lots of Laundry!!! 

 

This Organizational Board will be a must in my dream home, 

I'm terrible at remember things!!

Its always good just to have a

place where you can keep all the

"to do's", "don't forget's", "pick up at the store's" & "remember to call's"

 all in one specific spot. :) 

I know some of these "dreams" 

may sound unrealistic to some of you, 

but with God,

(the creator of the universe I might add)

on my side, 

Why not dream big dreams?!? 

Until Next time,
