FAITHOUGHTS Many Rooms but No Room? by Maria Arndt Five years ago, I moved into my historic 1929 home in Hammond. Each empty room delighted me and I could not imagine ever seeing it full with things. Yet, my home has slowly filled with an eclectic mix of shabby chic, modern and family antique pieces and furnishings. With exception to one place… the huge two car garage has an attic that is dry, clean and empty. The attic is now no longer empty. Last week, two of my daughters moved in full time with me as their father remarried and sold their childhood home. This meant all of their possessions & childhood toys, games, clothes and memorabilia came with them. Having my 19 and 22 year old girls with me full time is a complete & total blessing. I am so thankful to have this bonus time with them but I almost wept as every, nook and cranny was occupied. That is when I remembered the garage attic space and I was overjoyed as each thing they brought could be saved. Their father, Rick, and I intentionally raised sentimental children that connect the people, stories, and items to traditions and history. Stuff comes with those life stories. As they and their stuff moved in, my heart was filled with love and joy, and a song popped into my head: “Come and go with me, to my Father’s house To my Father’s house, to my Father’s house Come and go with me, to my Father’s house, Where there’s joy, peace and rest. There are many rooms, in my Father’s house In my Father’s house, In my Father’s house There are many rooms, in my Father’s house, Where there’s joy, peace and rest Jesus will be there, in my Father’s house In my Father’s house, in my Father’s house Jesus will be there, in my Father’s house, Where there’s joy, peace and rest.” Our Father has room for us. He will love us and take us as we are… Jesus takes our baggage away. We are free of sin and the strains of this Earth. There is room for EVERY SINGLE one of us. There we will find joy, peace and rest! Maria Arndt is a member of Faith. In her daily ministry she works as a kindergarten teacher. She’s at MArndt@sd194.org [mailto:MArndt@sd194.org]. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
