The Welcoming House Blog

“Welcome friend, I’m glad you’re here. Its nice to see someone so dear… take off your shoes, sit down and sigh, grab a cup of coffee and a piece of pie..The House is the same, the stories pile up…but my House is YOUR house, so refill that cup! Let’s talk about, pray about, share about things that matter in life, and make our hearts sing. The door is still open, we’re just a bit older, but OLD friends are GOOD friends, and we’re glad to have you over! Welcome to the NEW Welcoming House Blog….. ❤️ Heather
