Yesterday I was in my bathroom getting ready for work and my mind was on the Lord and on heaven and longing for the time when I would see my Lord and savior. I thought about the ones that has gone on before, my brother, Bro. Clay, Pat Hebb and many, many others that I long to see. Then my mind came back to those that I love so dear still with me here on the earth.
My mind went to the movie, The Wizzard of Oz and the scene where Dorothy was about to say good bye to her friends that she had met. The scarecrow, the lion and the tin man. They had been through so much and grown so close. She had landed in the land of oz totally out of circumstances out of her control and taken a journey of ups and downs but her focus was only on making her way back home.
When it came time to say goodbye she was torn between the love of new friends and the love she knew waited for her in her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. Giving her last farewell kiss and words of encouragement she told them good bye and headed home saying, as we all know...there is no place like home, there is no place like home.
I too know there is no place like home....we are just here for a SHORT time and then we will be able to go HOME and be with those that have gone on before us. My heart longs to be there but as I still travel this journey I hope that I will be able to pass the message to others that Jesus is waiting for us at HOME & THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!!
John 14 2&3 In my father's house are many mansions if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself. PTL Truth...HE will come again.

thanks for the reminder of our home in heaven. Beautiful application...It will be worth it all when we see Jesus. I am looking forward to that time but until then my heart will go on praising the Lord for His faithfulness. (and for my friends, like you Cheryl.)
