The Big Digs Reasons

I have at times, found myself wondering how or why we have such a big house. Our home only houses 2 people, my husband and myself, and is over 2,000 square feet. Yet in my life, it has always been that I am given what I need despite my thinking otherwise. For this I have always been thankful. So, this big house hasn't been without its reasons.

We liked this house from the outset. It had a wonderful wooded back yard and a large frontage as well. It was country, yet not too far from the city. When we first moved here there were three of us. Our daughter had already married and had a home of her own, but our son still lived with us. However, shortly after we moved here our son moved out. Despite the size of our home, he felt he wanted to be a homeowner too, and not just a dweller. This left me and my husband with much more space than we really needed.

Over the years, however, our home has been a haven for our family. They have visited, or lived with us for a couple of days, a couple of weeks and even several months. The bigness of the house has given us enough space that, if needed, we could get away and find a niche of our own. And, too, we have had many occasions of celebration at which extended family members come and the room to hold them all is available. When there are only my husband and myself residing here, I can go from the usual rooms (kitchen, living room, et cet), to the more quiet recesses, such as the den or my art room. I revel in the fact that I have as much, or as little, space as I need, or require.

Everything that happens, happens when the time is right;  sometimes there are reasons beyond comprehension as to why things do, or do not, take place. For the most part things fall neatly into place, other times things fall apart. Keeping faith that all will work out as it should, is what makes the difference between ourselves either falling apart or remaining whole and continuing on. May your rooms always be filled with what brings you joy and may you always be given that which you need when you need it the most!
