Why spoil the surprise…

Daily writing prompt
Write about your dream home.

I look at my ideal dream home as a part of my journey, yet to be traveled… and I like presents quite a lot! How boring would it be if we knew exactly what was wrapped beneath our tree on Christmas Morning, right?! We love to wonder, speculate, and/or try to peek, though we know we must wait for the big OPEN! That’s what’s so beautiful about gifts, you know?

Besides, I don’t want to paint a picture of a thing that God has been preparing for such a long time, as He will far exceed any description I might offer. Plus, it’ll make the unwrapping of our future place so exciting! I can’t wait to wander from room to room, gratefully discovering all the things God included in the installation process… He’s like that, you know?

Imagine how disappointing it would be for us if we went to all the trouble of making a gift, only to have the recipient send us an add-on list.

I know, I know, this is just a prompt about a dream home, and I get it… really I do!

But, honestly, after being without an actual place to call home for the last few years now… a bed with four walls, along with an actual written address that doesn’t include wheels underneath, would suit me just fine! Unfortunately, that looks very bland in dream home standards, so I’m relying heavily on God’s providence for all the bells and whistles… just sayin!

I did make some dreamy cookies…

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jog…

Daily writing prompt
Write about your dream home.

Though I feel that you have already been shown ideas of my dream home, I did try to come up with some clearer visions for you to enjoy.

While I enjoy the look of a shingled roof, I decided that I much prefer thatch, or even moss. I think it blends into the forest a bit more naturally.

As much as I liked the little creature sitting near the porch, it seemed too lonely for my liking, so back to the drawing board I went.

After all my efforts to add more creatures into this dream home, I was now faced with having a house too small to fit everyone, because… duh… they would obviously be staying with me inside, as I’m not barbarian that would make them sleep out in the cold. 

After all that effort to come up with a great answer to the daily prompt, I have simply gone back to my favorite place…

If a thing’s not broken, why try to fix it? You’ll find me in the barn…

I don’t even have to make you cookies today, as the babies have made you popcorn!
