Home Is Where God Is

I got a beautiful card from a friend a little bit ago. I've been carrying it everywhere. It has been helping me keep perspective during the tough moments. I wanted to share what was written on the front of it....



Home Is Where God Is


There's no place like home,
and there's no home like the one
God is preparing for us someday.

We cling to the familiar, not understanding
that a far greater miracle awaits us
when we cross from this life into eternity.

There, Jesus waits to escort His own
into a place of sweet peace & blessed rest.

There, we can finally see with veil removed
the beauty which our souls
have so longed to know.

There, our loved ones wait with eager anticipation
for us to celebrate with them
the joys for which we were ultimately created.

If we were allowed one glimpse of that place,
our real home, we would not hold too tightly
to the ones gone before us.

Instead, we would grieve because we cannot
go with them ~ because home, after all,
is where God is.

Thank you, Lisa, for taking time to bless me with a perfect card for such a time as this.
