HOME

Today I was having lunch with some friends and we were talking about the word "HOME". This word has so many meaning and emotions connected with it. It means peace, love, rest, freedom, joy. It is the place where we can be the most ourselves.

We also talked about a song that we sing at church titled "HOME." A portion of the lyrics say "Home is heaven, where one day Lord I will live. In your courts you'll find me, in worship at your feet. Hide me now in the shadow of your wings, where I will be home." We talked about how much we long for our earthly homes and how much greater our home in heaven is. As much as I long for my earthly home, I should long for my heavenly home with Jesus even more.

I think that HOME is one of my favorite words.
