Home

I have recently been examining the meaning a home can have. I was hanging out with Jen, who is preparing a home for 3 children (previously orphans) and she said something that I will never forget. She was buying things to send for the little girls and she said "I don't know if they will bring these back HOME with them." That comment got me thinking. These children have never been to America and much less seen their cute little room. Yet they have room and a dad and mom and a brother waiting for them with open arms. It has been fight, but Jen and Jason are waiting with outstretched arms for these 3 little children.

I think it is because adoption is the Gospel that this draws a clear picture of Heaven for me.
We have a home, a room in Heaven and a Father waiting with arms wide open. He has fought hard for us, but He loves us with a love we will never understand.

"²⁰ But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."
Philippians 3:20-21
