For the Love of Red Doors

I love all things red...red doors are no exception. I take pictures of red doors wherever we go (below are a few of theses photos). When I finally had a door I could paint...I painted it red. There are several meanings for red doors. The Chinese see the door as lucky. During the days of the Underground Railroad, a red door meant the house was safe. It has even been said that Albert Einstein painted his door red so he could find his house...not sure if that is totally true or not, but sounds like a fun bit of trivia. 


To me, a red door means "Welcome". I hope that all who enter our front door, feel welcome in our home. It is something my husband and I strive to do. I hope our home feels safe those visiting and those the Lord brings...through our Red Door.
