Home

 Where is your home?

 This is a question that

has perhaps more than

one possible answer.

If we are fortunate,

in life we begin with a 

home with the family

which we grow up with.

Though the place in which

you lived may have changed

more than once, yet each new

place became your home.

Then perhaps you are at or have

passed the stage when you

move out of your parents

house and into a place of your own.

This place then becomes your home,

yet the previous place where

you dwelt still may for

a while also feel like home to you.

Throughout our lives we

may know a good many places that

we accept as and welcome as our home.

As Christians we know that

the obvious answer to the

question is that our home is

with God in heaven.

We look to this, we

long for this and we

know that someday we

will have this home.

Yet, though we look ahead

for this, what of now?

We still have a home here and 

we should have more than one of them.

We have a home where we live

and we also should have a 

home where we have and

know true life, our

home with God starts before 

we get there.

This is due to us belonging to him

and through this being made

alive by his Holy Spirit who dwells

within us.

Also though we should have 

another home, this is

a home where we should

always know support and comfort.

This of course is the Church 

to which we belong, this

should and needs to be a home 

for us.

We need to be able to see and 

know this as a home

and therefore where we 

belong.

So let us enjoy our

many homes that we have

in life, both actual and

symbolic, let us also

know that our home is in and

with God always.
