Dear Edie,
How ironic that I found your post about your house fire. Your recent post about your fire and your analogy to Job makes perfect sense. It has been 11 years since the moment we realized that our home was on fire just as we were saying grace before eating our Christmas morning brunch. Everyone exited safely, including my two daughters, their grandparents, our two cats and dog. Without much warning, I had a breakdown four months later when the tree cutters removed four old and misshapen American Cedars that stood graciously along the street in front of our house. We thought that replacing them with healthy trees would be an improvement. It was a shock to see a large piece of plywood on the front porch with huge red spray-painted words “Why Kill the Trees?” I guess it was the proverbial “sign” that broke the camel’s back. Six-months of quick decisions and much uncertainty, we finally came back to a beautiful remodeled home. Sadly, I faced the loss of a 20-year marriage six years later in 2004 and the fury of Hurricane Ivan alone. I remember weeks without sleep and losing nearly 25 pounds that summer. It was through the grace of God and reaching out to Jesus Christ that I came through that time and the subsequent grieving of the loss of my father and now dealing with my mother’s end-of-life. Gratefully, I am living a comfortable life today in a sweet 1938 cottage, and both daughters are doing well living their lives. I am so thankful to have a strong network of blogging friends who open their hearts and doors to inspire people like me to dream and create beauty. God willing, I will soon go online with my own blog. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and journey in faith. God has bigger plans for all of us.
So love your take on life!! Also love that quilt on your porch! 🙂
everything looks really nice 🙂
Edie, these photos are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Your home is so lovely. And those candy cane chocolates look to die for! Blessings to you and your family.
Happy New Year!
would you mind sharing where that grey console table is from? it is gorgeous (as is your whole house!:))
I love your blog! Beautiful home…..I was wondering if you’d mind telling me where you found the mirror over your mantle. It’s lovely :0)
