Once you settle in maybe you could have a group of us over so we can bless the house with prayer and rejoice with you in your new home...   I actually don't know if that is a southern tradition or not- but where I grew up (VA), when a person moved into a new home, friends and family would come with a gift and one person brought the oil. Then we would walk the house and pray as we entered each room anointing the door post with oil and praying God would use the house as a blessing to all who enter it. Is this action common knowledge? I have no idea- but even if it is a little too weird for ya, please feel free to have a regular old get together sometime. Love to see it! Congrats!
