So, today I was struck with a bit of homesickness. As hard as homesickness can be the Lord is always faithful to remind me that this world is not my home. He gently reminds me of the truth that this longing in my heart for a place here on earth is really longing for my true home in heaven. Oh, how wonderful that place must be! I have had the privilege of living in
some amazing places and calling them home over my 24 years and yet they are just a small taste of the goodness the Lord has in store for us. But heaven's goodness is not just simply because of how amazing heaven is going tobe but the amazing reality that I will be able to gaze upon my be
autiful Saviour and spend eternity worshiping him. Now that is an incredible thought. So on a day like today when I am longing for the beautiful sandy beach in Sandbridge or the old tree lined streets of Fredericksburg or my fun and welcoming family I am once again reminded that my extraordinary eternal home is awaiting me in heaven with my Saviour's hands outstretched waiting to finally welcome me home.
