Travelling – seeing new sights, hearing new music, and meeting new people – is exciting and exhilarating. But when we have no home to return to where someone will ask us, “How was your trip?” we might be less eager to go. Travelling is joyful when we travel with the eyes and ears of those who love us, who want to see our slides and hear our stories.
This is what life is about. It is being sent on a trip by a loving God, who is waiting at home for our return and is eager to watch the slides we took and hear about the friends we made. When we travel with the eyes and ears of the God who sent us, we will see wonderful sights, hear wonderful sounds, meet wonderful people … and be happy to return home.

I love the last line of this.

Now this is a goal worth reaching for!(pardon the dangling participle 😆 )

I agree with writeathome. If everyone would apply the principle of “seeing through God’s eyes,” we would have a much more pleasant world.
On another note, I have had some health issues this past year and I really want to stay here and watch my kids grow up. I know I should be ready to “go home” and that “home” is a better place, but……..hopefully you understand what I mean.

Hi Carol, I agree; we will be happy to return home.
And Jana, yes, knowing we have a home with God in heaven doesn’t mean we make a resevation for a specific day. If God’s in control, we’ll go when we ought to go. I do understand.
