The Comforts of Home

 



When I moved to Ghana in February 2011, I brought with me necessities...towels, sheets, clothes, flashlight, insect repellent...oh, and Mr. Mooey! When I returned to Ghana in March 2013, from my visit to the USA, I brought "the comforts of home." My home was comfortable before I left. But, now, it is truly a space where I can rest, relax and renew as well as work, receive guests and bless others. Here is a partial list of the "comforts" that came to Ghana with me:

~ Heinz Ketchup, made in the USA

~ Yankee candles

~ a variety of Bibles

~ more sheets & towels

~ a flip flop shaped pillow (for my beach themed bed room)

~ a variety of crosses for a collage on my living room wall

~ DECAF coffee, hazelnut is my favorite!

~ hazelnut and vanilla flavored coffee creamer

~ pots and pans

~ Starbucks coffee mugs and a mug tree

~ an iPod and tiny speaker

~ slippers

~ STAMPING SUPPLIES...stamps, inks, papers, ribbons, glue, punches, etc.

~ pictures of family and friends

~ office supplies

~ journals

~ decorative pillows

~ a french press

~ books

 

Even without all these "spoiled American" items, God has helped me make my house a home. But, I am getting older and I am here for the long haul. Thank You, Lord for providing all of this for me!
