Come Sit on My Porch....

This is a picture of my front porch and I just love the sign that I picked up earlier this summer! Can you believe that I have actually had people come up and sit on my porch?? Yep, I have gotten to know several of my neighbors better because of it. Crazy what I sign can do, don't you think? God has impressed upon me this scripture today. I know it is a very common set of scripture but still very important. Here it is;
28 One of the scribes approached. When he heard them debating and saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked Him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"
29 "This is the most important," Jesus answered:
Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, The Lord is One. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.
31 "The second is: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these."
Mark 12:28-31 (HCS)
I hope that you are all having a great week!

Your front porch looks very inviting. Do you serve tea? Oh yes, I know you will since my "little" Great Grandaughter would make it for me. She has since she was sooooo little, I thought sure she would fall of the counter she climbed up to make it, or burn herself. Soooo cute. Now she is all grown up and still makes tea for me.
I love you all, Gramma

I love your front porch Ditty!!! I wish I had a porch but people would not even know what that is here. It is one thing I miss from home. I once said to Bull that I was going to buy a sign...it said "Please use the back door" and Bull said "You don't have a back door!" Yep! We don't live in a nice street. People don't say hello and only talk to us when they want something or to criticize. But that is okay...I have been able to make my peace with it and have so many wonderful friends! Still, I love your sign and I love your furniture too. Now wouldn't you be surprised if you came outside and saw your old aunt sitting there?!?

Love and hugs ~
Aunt Heidi

Hi, This is my first visit. Nancy thought that I would enjoy it and I have. You have a beautiful daughter, a handsome son and a husband that is one of the brave who has given back to his country. How wonderful! I am thinking that I would enjoy making rugs. That is a cool weather project. Today I am planting mums. I love your front porch. Our neighborhood is very friendly and sometimes people congregate on our patio - even when we aren't home. I think that I will visit Heidi now!
Hugs,
Sweetie

Love the chairs! I love a front porch to sit on. I'm so jealous. It's a great way to socialize! Which I love, but I only know a few neighbors...I must need a bigger front porch!

Hi Kristen, I love your porch. I would love to come and sit. Happy belated birthday to your DH. Your DD is very beautiful. Like her Mom! Your men are quite handsome as well.(smile)
What a great job you are doing on that rug. I started one here a while back, but haven't gotten very far.

Blessings, Shelley

Greetings from Holland, Carolien

P.S. LOVE your new look. I knew you were pretty already, but this is also really stunning to see. Great!

I like your porch. I will sit there with you, if only in spirit. "A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother."

What an inviting porch.... Would be a wonderful place to sip iced tea and visit and ponder the Word of God. I like the star too! :)

Proverbs 31: 10-31

While the woman described in Proverbs 31 may seem to be unatainable, I have made it my goal to learn as much as is possible about her in order to make myself a more capable and virtuous woman in God's eyes.
