Dear God,

The song stood out during worship, "We are just walking each other home."  Indeed.  There is something about that that rang true.  

There are so many cliched phrases about home.  Home is where the heart is.  But home is much more than that.  Home, a true home is one where we are accepted, loved, and supported.  It is a place of safety and warmth.  It is the dwelling place of God.

When we walk each other home, sometimes we are holding people up until they can finally arrive there.  Sometimes we just walk beside.  Other times we run or crawl but always do we need to make the journey with others.  We help each other get to where we are most loved.

Home is not just a place in eternity; it is a place here and now.  It is a quiet place always inviting us in.  Come and rest awhile it says.  For me right now I long for home more than any other.

Holy God,

thank you

for the

continual invitation

to come home.

Show us

the way.

Help us remember

there is

no place

like home

with you.

Yours, Andrea
