What
does your home say about you?
The question came to me
after visiting the home of some people in the church. It was a
beautiful house in hill country. It was immaculate. Everything was
in its place. I was not envious. I have quite a nice house. My
porch is not as big but has more of a vista. We had a pleasant time
and departed home. Later it came to me that I didn’t see much in
the way of books.
What does that say about priorities and
how people spend their time. It is possible the books were there and
I did not notice because I wasn’t looking. In our house you can’t
miss them. We had bookshelves built in that cover an entire wall in
our living room. Our home speaks of the love of reading and a
welcome for grandchildren. Several shelves are just children’s
books. The floor is set up for a Lego convention. There is little
doubt what the emphasis is.
If you go to my room you again
see book shelves and book ends. I have a recliner that sees a lot of
business. Within easy reach are several Bible translations and a
Strong’s Concordance for each along with other references. Again,
you can tell what my priorities and interest are.
