Reality Check Monday : Moving On

I have some exciting news that I have been wanting to spill for the past couple days. It's been a long time coming but...

We are moving out of our 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment into a 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house! We could not be more excited!! Since our little family grew quite quickly over the year, we've needed a little bit more space. More details on this to come...but I just wanted to express my excitement already! Oh the joys of everything that comes with moving into a new home! Let the planning begin.

Along with the exciting news we just shared, I want share a prayer from my favorite prayer book called, "A Gift So Rare" by Helen Lowrie Marshall. This book was handed down to me from my mother. I really love these prayer poems because everyone can easily identify with each of them, in their own sense. I like Marshall's writing because it's realistic and comforting. The poem that I'm currently praying is called "You Never Know." I'd like to share it with you. Enjoy and have great Monday.

You Never Know

You never know when someone
May catch a dream from you.
You never know when a little word
Or something you may do
May open up the windows
Of a mind that seeks the light—
The way you live may not matter at all,
But you never know—it might.

And just in case it could be
That another's life, through you,
Might possibly change for the better
With a broader and brighter view,
It seems it might be worth a try
At pointing the way to the right—
Of course, it may not matter at all,
But then again—it might.
