And I came to where you are suggesting. Since my heart tries to live as God wants, then I can be "at home" wherever I end up. God's kingdom is all around me...the kids I teach, the people I meet, the people I don't ever meet. the beauty I see, and the pain I feel. <br />I'm so glad you came to comment, K.

That you are not stuck in one physical place really rather indicates that you see the entire world as a gift, and that you already carry your home with you. That is the heart of Christianity - that your home and hope are in Christ, and that you do his work, loving his love, feeding his sheep wherever you are. It means your spirit, perhaps without realizing it, already had that trust. Some people are spiritually gifted, I think - they carry that strong love with them when they are born, and it allows them a connection some people never get all their mortal lives long. It's in the nature of the spirit - people were all different from each other from the beginning. <br /><br />Anyway, that's another discussion. The old saying, "Home is where the heart is," definitely dovetails with "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be." If you were fixed on earthly treasure, you might not be so able to fly so free.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040714440875408436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824707168732803651.post-75337066004248957542011-01-13T14:19:47.380-08:002011-01-13T14:19:47.380-08:00So, then, let the adventure begin!So, then, let the adventure begin!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473148914709570743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824707168732803651.post-80433427733431401132011-01-12T19:27:52.141-08:002011-01-12T19:27:52.141-08:00Indeed it does!Indeed it does!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737262718516189862noreply@blogger.com
