Over the weekend, I made a T J MAXX run with a dear friend! After going through every aisle several times, I found my new "happy" for my home! This is my new rug for my foyer. I LOVE IT! I thought it was so cheerful and just what I wanted to see when I open my front door. The colors are much more vibrant and bold in person but I love the combination of the colors and designs.
As I have looked at this rug for the past few days, I began to see how this rug is a symbol for me and my home. I began to think about the front door of a home and what that represents. The entry way for friends and family to enter, a welcome spot, a place to leave into the world, a safe haven, a place to greet one another, were a few things that came to mind. Then my thoughts shifted to this rug. I started thinking of all the different people in my life, the ones that enter my home. Some enter often, others come and go. Everyone leaving a part of them. Each of them having their own color, design, and part of them that makes them special and dear to me. Once I saw this, it made me realize how important each person is in my life and how their "color" and "design" brightens my day, and is so welcoming my life. I saw how all these people come together in my life and create a beautiful creation, like this rug. They bring joy, hope, happiness, color, and their own spark to me as they enter my days/home and hopefully as they leave me and go into the world, they are able to take what makes them unique and special and share it with the others they encounter along the way showing their beauty to all.
So now when I see my rug, not only will it make me happy but I will be reminded of how dear people are to me and I will cherish what they bring into my home and life. Today, I am grateful for ALL the people God has blessed me with and the beautiful "rug" He creates each day in my life. Thanks be to God!
(Hopefully this wasn't too deep and it made sense!)
