Homecoming

God showed me something just now as I was reading my daily devotion and I thought I would share it with you. Lately I've been homesick for my house in Wilmore. I loved that house and that neigborhood. I loved that I could walk to my friend Jen's house anytime of the day and be greeted with open arms and a smile. I loved that Anna Claire had several playmates within walking distance. I miss everything so, so, so much!! However, I do like it here, please don't think I'm miserable here. There is lots to do and see and I've met several nice people who have been so welcoming, but it just doesn't feel like home...yet. Anyhow, I miss home...I told Craig last night how homesick I am and he said you shouldn't be homesick for Wilmore, you should be homesick for Heaven, that's our home. That really wasn't what I wanted to hear, oh well.
My devotion today was called "Homecoming" and the passage was Psalm 73:21-28. Part of the scripture says, " When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered, ...you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you." Ahhhh, He always knows what I need to hear and when I need to hear it. I love it when I open God's word and He speaks right to me. In chapel at preschool at SCC Ms. Connie always said to the kids, "When you open God's word, God opens his mouth." How true! And how amazing is it to picture my heavenly Father holding my right hand through this journey! I know several of you reading this have went through a move and have experienced the same feelings I am feeling. I pray that God will give you the peace, comfort and strength He has given me during this time.
