Returning home

I just returned from some traveling and as I was on my last leg of a long drive, I began to think how good it was going to feel to be home.

You know that warm & fuzzy feeling we get after we have been away. That peaceful, comfortable, cannot wait to be back; ready to de-stress and plop down in that comfy favorite chair or couch. You get it right?

In those miles on the road, I had been praying for a lot of struggling in people’s lives around, and thinking also how blessed I am. It stuck me at that moment how that feeling of getting home resembles the feeling we get when we have God in our lives. Resembles, but really does not even come close!

It is amazing to think, but until I asked Him in my life about a decade ago, I never knew that warm & fuzzy, peaceful and loving feeling full time. It IS what happens when we ask Jesus in our lives. I know I thought I had that loving feeling, that I had it good, but nothing compares to where it is now. He sure gives me that feeling and knowledge of knowing He is always there. It is an instant thing, whenever I just think of Him or say His name.

Even when we have our downs, struggles and life problems, He is still there, providing that comfy warm & fuzzy chair and home-y feeling; like our Mommy or Daddy holding us. As the ultimate Father it is that same thing!

Just sharing that analogy with you, and with these warm temps, I hope you find peace and warmth this day in many ways. Now that I think of it, these warm temps after all the freezing weather is kind of like that feeling we get when He is with us…..never mind, you get it right?

A side note: I am doing something that I have never done – reading the bible thru from page one this year; a friend put the thought in my mind. It is just like 5 pages a day is all it takes! I am just on day three, but committed to doing it. Want to join me?!!

Thanks for listening to my wanderings and thoughts. Take care my friend,
