Good morning and happy Monday. We just got home late yesterday from a trip to the mountains. Absolutely gorgeous. I just love being there. But when we got home our little dogs were so happy to see us. There is not a welcome home in the world better than that of the family dog. Our newest one, Sophie, has now been under my feet the whole time. She's letting know I'm not to leave again. There is one welcome home though that is by far untouchable in comparison, "Well done good and faithful servant". Oh to hear those words spoke over us will be amazing. But even now, in this lifetime, we can have a part of that here on earth with us. When we invite Jesus into our hearts to take up residency, then the angels rejoice and sing as we come home to God. If we've been gone a while or a minute makes no difference, we're Home. God welcomes us Home in way we cannot imagine. The plans He has for us pick up where we are and move forward toward that final welcoming. Now along the way will there be bumps and valleys to be gotten through? Yes there will, but we have Christ with us, God with us as the Holy Spirit lives in us. We're never alone and always home, no matter where we are. God is always with us, it's us who's not always with Him. When we return back home it's always a wonderful, never leave again welcome. It's unconditional and it's nonjudgemental as to where you've been. Turn around and go Home. He's waiting with open arms. He misses you more than you'll ever know. In love always. <><
