Dear God,

You give us a home with you, not so much at the end of life as much as every day on earth.  If home is a place of quiet peace, of wondrous joy, and blessed love, then you give it to us daily so we may live with you and face the issues of every day life.

Today I was reminded of our home with you.  Minutes after we arrived back home, a couple appeared at the door to check on us and remind us how much they loved us.  Minutes after that a neighbor rang the door bell, just to welcome us home.  An hour later a friend came through the door with open arms and a beautiful smile.  As the rest of the day unfolded, I thought of how much home changes us.

Home is really our place with you, Lord.  Is there any greater home than home with you?  No.  None.

Bless you, Abba Father.
Thank you
for your
welcome arms
and your
welcoming spirit.
Thank you
for joy
that rises up
within us
when you
stand before us.
Glory to you, Lord;
glory to you.

Love always, Andrea
