In today’s episode, we’re saying goodbye to the house that held us this past year. Not our forever home. Not our first home. But a rental that saw deep change, quiet survival, and surprising joy. We’re reflecting on what it means to move out—why it feels like a hard line in the sand—and how you carry both gratitude and grief when a chapter closes.

🏠 A Liturgy for Leaving a Home (Rental Edition)
For the home that held us, though it was never ours—
For keys handed over in transition,
for the first time we crossed the threshold,
for the echo of furniture being moved in—
For the unexpected gift of these walls,
for the sidewalk loops and stroller walks,
for the cracked window that let in morning light,
for the air where dreams and prayers hung quietly—
This was a space of becoming.
Of trying. Of surviving. Of starting again.
Of holding joy in one hand and exhaustion in the other.
Of learning what our rhythms could carry.
Of changing, not all at once, but a little more each day.
We didn’t know how much we would grow here.
So we close this chapter with full hearts—
not because the house was perfect,
but because it was provision.
It was the right place for this version of us.
May we remember that even the temporary places can shape us.
Even the not-forever homes can hold something eternal.
Even a rental can be a refuge.
So here’s to the houses that held us—
for a while, for a season,
And now, with arms full of boxes
and hearts full of memory,
we bless this space one last time—
not as a final destination,
but as a waypoint on the path You’ve always known.
Amen
