God's Family


Through a pebbly parking lot, there is a squeaky, old-englished gate. It leads into a lush garden beside an alluring house. To the side, the washing line flurries in the bitter wind; but inside, you find a searing kettle bubbling with warm tea. You are taken in by an affectionate women and handed the fervent tea along with a biscuit. The welcome enhancement of the old-englished house lures every enjoyment into a child's heart. This is what I wrote about my dear friends in England. They are so kind and love us. They always had welcome arms for whenever we came to England so that we could stay with them. Just like their open arms, God holds His arms wide open to you. He wants you to be in His family for Him to comfort you and protect you. Just like the Aspinall's warmth, God has room for you in His family, and whenever you are ready to come in, He will be there waiting with arms wide open.
So next time you pass the pebbly parking lot, will you go inside or will you stay in the bitter coldness?
Please have a cup of tea with me.

  1. aww, those photo's bring back some memories. What fun times. The Aspinall house is cool; a happy place (on the whole!) flowing with tea and 'goodies' from the goodie tin! Your blogs are great Lis. xx
