Homecoming

The Webster dictionary defines Homecoming as... 1. A return to one's home.

This past week the rural community of Rich Hill which I now call home, has had a very emotional week, the loss of 3 dear members of our community and our church family. A joyous union of 2 of our members as they became husband and wife, and then the grand finale of our annual Homecoming at church today!!! In between there's been a lot of other event's here in Hare Hollow, and with each it brought tears, smiles and some very good food!!!

As I reflect upon this past week on the smiles, tears and all in between I count my blessings. One of the smile events, was a wonderful evening of some dear friends we don't get to see very often "coming to our home" for some good ole Brunswick Stew, a bit of pickin n grinin and just enjoying each others company!! What fun!!



Another real big smile was having our little pumpkin come to Mima and Papa's home for a grand ole evening of being spoiled, kissed, and great big hugs and then some more all over again, not to mention all the Noggin she wanted to watch...Go Wonder Pets!!!!



A glorious wedding fit for Cinderella and her Prince Charming brought lots of smiles and of course the tears of happiness that goes along with any wedding. A very loving couple whom will be "coming home" after their honeymoon to a new life together!



Although the loss of our 3 dear sweet members brought tears for us who will experience the emptiness they left us with and the longing to see them, what a grand "Homecoming" they had this week...seeing our Creator eye to eye and meeting all their loved one's whom have already gone home, what a joyous week they have had, and I can just imagine all the smiles going on there!!!

Then the finale!!!! A wonderful Homecoming at church today with a great message, lots and lots of smiles and tables of wonderful food, which I'm sure came from many harvests from this past summer all prepared from loving hand's!!!! Sorry no picture of this event, I was too busy eating!!

I'm looking forward to the coming week!!! I've got some more "homecoming's" this week and I'm excited!!
