Someplace Other Than Here

The old adage is “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”

We seem to always be drawn to someplace other than here. We visit other places, which is a good idea, but then we get all nostalgic and think, “Wow! Wouldn’t it be great to just be here?”

We often forget about the place we are and what draws us to that place.

Our family was trying to sell my nephew on moving to Minneapolis. He commented, “Wow. You guys sound like people from Paris or New York.”

I was happy to hear that. I don’t live in Paris or New York. I live in Minneapolis and (get this) I love it.

So, tell me…

What is great about your place? If you had to brag on it to someone NOT from where you live, what would you say to BRAG on it. (If you don’t like it… move somewhere you love THEN tell me about it!) 😉

  1. I love Adelaide because it is home. Familiar! Safe. Relaxed. I know this earth and I feel as though it knows me. Couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.

    I love it most of all because of those who live here with me. I suffer every now and again with a severe case of geographical pornography. I look at the brochures and I visit these places and think to myself, wow, I could really serve Jesus here. But truth be told, they are great places to visit but at the end of the day they too would become familiar and boring.

    1. What makes a place truly home, I believe, is the people.
