Some people's thoughts about our house

We have lived in our house for twenty three years...in that time, I have had the building inspector stop here and demand to see my daycare license (at that time we had nine children: ages nine, seven, six, five, five, four, three, two, one and I was pregnant).
The inspector was rude and presumptious! I did think it was quite a good idea to get paid for taking care of them, though!!
After many years had passed, Bill came home very late one evening to see a strange car in our drive-way, with someone sitting in the car. Bill went up to him and asked if he could help. The young man had run out of gas and just had enough to pull into our drive-way. He had been trying to get ahold of his friends, but no one would pick up their phones. Bill went and got a gas can, filled it up for the guy, and when he was about to leave....he said "you know, I thought this was a frat house". Well, I guess I could understand that one having nine sons and a million cars!
That night , Bill had been praying about being a blessing to someone and trying to make his day "count"...Isn't it great that God takes you at your word????
The next "incident" was just a bit ago. Someone wanted directions to our home and when Bill shared them, the guy said...."oh, I thought that was a landscape parking lot"!!!!!
We've been called alot of things, but I like this one best....... HOME!!!!! It's true what they say. THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!!
