HOUSE BLESSING
Our house blessing yesterday was made complete in two ways:
1) Our original Marriage Journey group
at our church came to share it with us, and 2) Father Jim, our priest at our
church, led the ceremony. We started with a prayer as everyone stood outside
the front of the house, and Peter and I were at the front door with a candle,
welcoming them in. As the service continued, we all went from room to room,
following the service leaflet that Father Jim had brought for the
occasion. By the time we had gone to
every room and blessed it, Peter and I agreed that we had made a super choice
in arranging this blessing for our new Decatur home.
Peter described our reaction to this event perfectly when he
said that our new house has always seemed to have some negative vibe to it, and
this house blessing was like an exorcism. Now the house is happy, and we are
very happy to be in it. Thank you, all of you dear friends, for joining us in
this wonderful event.
We love you all!
Peter and Colleen
