As I walked into my home tonight I was greeted by hearty barks, wagging tails and happy whimpering. The smell of a clean house with the aroma of autumn in the air tickled my nose and the soft snores of my husband sleeping soundly and peacefully reached my ears. I closed my eyes and took a deep sigh. There are few feelings that compare to the feeling of finally reaching your destination, home, after a long journey! I had only been to Tennessee to visit my parents, a four hour trip one way, but I was quickly reminded that if it feels this good to return safely to my earthly home, how great will it feel to get to my eternal home. Oh, what a welcome that will be!!!
I used to be afraid of death, but the older I get, the more of a relief it is than a fear to know that my life here on earth is only a blink in time to eternity. Oh, how I long for days to walk along the Crystal Sea with my Lord and have long talks with Him... or just to sit and "be" in His company. All of these things He has promised!! Thank you, Lord!!
"In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know." John 14: 2-4
