“For this world is not our permanent home; we are
looking forward to a home yet to come.”
(Hebrews 13:14)

Thoughts…After serving as a missionary for forty years in Africa, Henry C. Morrison became sick and had to return to America. As the great ocean liner docked in New York Harbor, there was a great crowd gathered to welcome home another passenger on that boat. Morrison watched as President Teddy Roosevelt received a grand welcome home party after his African Safari.Resentment seized Morrison and he turned to God in anger, “I have come back home after all this time and service to the church and there is no one, not even one person here to welcome me home.”

Then a still small voice came to Morrison and said, “You’re not home yet.”

And neither are you!

Prayer… Lord, help me not to get too earth bound. Heaven is my real destination. Keep reminding me that I’m not home yet.

One More Thing… “God destines us for an end beyond the grasp of reason.” —Thomas Aquinas
