Besides the morning sickness and looking after my son and husband, we have also moved from an apartment in town to a house in the country.
I enjoy the solitude and silence. My home is now a haven from the outside world. I don’t hear the noisy trains, the neighbor’s television, or the industrial site that was behind our apartment. Instead I now only hear the horses, the cows, and the birds.
I was never unhappy in our cozy little apartment, but I can now not understand how I was at peace with so much noise.
We are renting the house and I know that we will probably not live here longer than two years, yet I have already grown to love our home- even though it is temporary.
We are sojourners in more than one sense. There will soon be a time when we will be called before our Judge and will then find our permanent home- in his kingdom here on earth. Then we will look back at our time now and be so relieved that it is now the past.
The contentment we will find then will far surpass the peace I have found in this little house in the country.
