We have returned home after a very successful vacation in Helsinki Finland. One of the highlights was the time we spent with our friends Toni and Tuulia. But last night we returned home. What a joy to return home to the house in the forest. I could not go to bed before I had inspected the growing potatoes and the vegetables I had sown earlier before we went on a holiday. The light summer nights are so beautiful! At midnight I could walk in the garden, take in the smell, enjoy the silence and the peace. It was like every flower, every bush and every tree welcomed us home!
When I woke up this morning the sun was shining and our lake was like a mirror reflecting the blue sky. I felt so happy, I was filled with thankfulness to God for blessing us with a place like this.
We have this saying: East or West, home is best! But there is no joy like the joy of returning home!
