They say "Home is where the heart is" . For the Brown Family we say "Home is wherever your furniture happens to be". Spoken like a true military family. We do however have a soft spot in our hearts for Middle Georgia and Central Florida, for those are the places we can refer to as home even though we do not have any furniture there. These places are home for us not because we grew up there but because we still have family and friends there. These are the places that we can go to and be loved on by people who have known us for years and are still happy to see us. For a military family who has to uproot and start over every few years, having a place to go to where you don't have to introduce yourself is very comforting. I love how my kids can just pop in at Grace Tab after a year or two absence as if they never left, and how they know where to find all the goodies in Grandma's closets because she would never dream of moving their goodies from the spots where they left them. We have just recently returned from a bit of time spent in both of these places we love so much. It was hard to leave and return back here to our new life of starting over in this new place. I have to keep telling myself to plug on and remember all that God has rewarded us with in the past. In every place we have lived, He has given us friends, most of which have been of the "life-long" variety. He has been very good to us and I have no doubt that He will continue. You never know we just may meet our new life long friends tomorrow.
