Good morning, Monday! You look gorgeous...I am so glad to meet you. There's never been a day quite like you, and never will be. You are completely unique, and I think I love you already. Your sunlight is dreamy. What other joys do you hold for us today?
I think I am going to light a candle, even in the morning sunshine, to celebrate you, Ms. Monday Morning! You certainly rate at least a little Pumpkin Spice scented candlelight...you've already been such a blessing, and it isn't even 9 o'clock yet!
How about a little vintage music? You seem like a Tony Bennett sort of Monday. Happy. Classic. Yes, even though we just met, I can tell exactly what kind of Monday you are! Tony it is...
I put away my summer blue mugs, and put these out, over the weekend. It was a few hours of fall nesting. Perfect for an almost-autumn Monday Morning. Would you like some coffee in one of these...
...or would you prefer some hot tea in one of these antique peach lustre-ware, depression era glass cups? (A gift from my Hannah...she found an amazing deal on a whole set of four. These are typically quite expensive. But don't let that worry you, Monday. I trust you. I'd be happy to pour your coffee or tea in one of these fall-colored beauties!)
The Lord has been good, in allowing me to make friends with such a delightful Monday Morning. You are something else, and I look forward to getting to know you, finding out all you have in store for me! What do you say, let's get this party started...

My heart often wishes to make a trip to visit the Atchley house. Mental images of landmarks along my once normal drive to your house flood me with a longing to visit once again. But alas, the commute that was once a near daily experience, has passed beyond my reach for a season.
But with each time, I have the idea to go and visit, I turn instead to this blog. I feel welcomed into your home once again, just as you have welcomed this Monday morning. I have found that the Atchley's hospitality is not found in comfortable sofas, or an endless supply of Dr Pepper, but rather in kind words and warm hearts.
Jesus' love pours out to meet each person who visits your home and this blog.
Thank you for faithfully pouring your experiences, and hospitality into this blog. It blesses me tremendously.
I miss you all, and SO look forward to seeing everyone in January.

Oh...my...goodness. I was not expecting this, as I moderated comments today. It *instantly* brought the tears streaming.
It was such a sacrifice for Harvest to send you out, my friend. We *need* and love you here...but at the same time, we knew God's plan is for you to be *there*...in Cambodia...where you are now.
We did send out our best. I look forward to the day when I can see your face in my kitchen and livingroom again. The Dr. Pepper will be waiting!
I've checked out your blog, Lloyd, good reading! Thank you for visiting me, come again any time!! Grace and peace to you and your wife!
