It's a beautiful home...
Pool
Casita attached to the enormous three car garage
Theatre room
Game room with pool table
Kitchen pantry that is amazing; the pantry door opens and goes into a huge, walk-in room lined with shelves
Craft room
Big open entry with dramatic stairway to second floor
And one of the most truly stunning front doors I've ever seen
The best of everything!
But, the house has sorrow that the eye can't see.
The builders of the home suffered in the struggling economy. His business plummeted. His character plummeted briefly. They had to make adjustments and leave the house around the corner.
New people in the home. A beautiful family; three children - talented mother.
But, again the house has sorrow that the eye can't see.
A father abandoning the principles of his growing-up years. A separation, perhaps even divorce is in the future for the beautiful wife and family.
And, my heart aches for the wonderful people who have lived in the beautiful house around the corner.
The moral of this story is:
Even the very most beauitful front door can't keep sorrow or tragedy or sin or heatache out.

I really liked this post. Just because people look like they have it all, doesn't really mean they do.
How very true this is. It is all around us. More than we probably know. I am very grateful for my home and the people inside who make me very, very happy. Yes there are hard times, sad times even. But we work hard to make our family work.
