My heart is warmed and touched at the several uses this little house has to its credit - an outhouse, a henhouse, a little child's playhouse, a garden shed... What beautiful memories, and even the photo you shared of your mom, and the garden around her... yes, dreamlike. Thank you, Felisol. This is a very good series, and I have enjoyed reading it. I can feel your heartbeat with every word you wrote.

I have to limit my writing to one, dear Steve E. You mentioned my favourite Psalm, 139th, and I was on fire.<br />steve E , you are for certain not reclaimed material, but a loved and seen wonder from the minute you were knitted in your mother's womb.<br />"3 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.<br /><br />14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.<br /><br />15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.<br /><br />16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.<br /><br />17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!<br /><br />18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee."<br /><br />There are a zillion things I do not understand about life, about the world we live in.I know God does, and for the most I leave it to him. I just try to sweep the little corner of the place where I live, and even that is too much, were it not for the help of our Lord and his book of love, wisedom and comfort. "I found your words and I ate them," the Scripture says. The Paslms are an endless well of comfort and enlightening to people of all times. I've heard them sung by devoted Jews and I have soared with my Benedictian monks singing them in the Gregorian way. I have listened to my father's mellow and longing voice as he read the psalm 90. <br />Oh, Steve E, wonderboy, you for sure is a castle built of spirit everlasting.<br />There's still so many treasures "hidden in the dark" to quote Isaiah.<br />Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-3136978986348271682014-09-03T23:55:05.333+01:002014-09-03T23:55:05.333+01:00Such a heartwarming story, Elise and so rich in hi...Such a heartwarming story, Elise and so rich in history.

Those words brought tears to my eyes, perhaps because I wish to develop such a sweet, God-honouring character as well.<br />It sounds like you had the ideal playhouse as a girl! The history of the shed is so interesting and I really hope it will be saved and restored for future generations.Sola Scripturahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01114177755134063286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-79030769160106142662014-09-03T04:26:12.843+01:002014-09-03T04:26:12.843+01:00Nothing "rubbish" do I see about "R...Nothing "rubbish" do I see about "Rubbish Tuesday, Felisol.

NO! Grateful? YESSS!<br /><br />Felisol, you so perfectly wrote my story. Thank you.<br /><br />P/S.

He did not know. All that he knew was that the years flow by like water, and that one day men come home again.” <br />― Thomas Wolfe, You Can't Go Home Again.
