After a very busy day, it is wonderful to finally return home. It's that time of year when a perfect evening includes a hot cup of tea...warm, comfortable clothes...soothing classical music...a nice book to read...and shadows dancing from candlelight.
I often remind myself during life's challenges that at the end of the day, I will return home to enjoy the cozy, familiar and peaceful surroundings. I will not always be stuck in traffic...or with busy checkouts...or noisy distractions...or annoying attitudes. The time will come for solitude, serenity and security.
My soul also yearns for retreat. While each day brings abundant blessings, the harshness of this world has a way of eroding the very core of my being. Instead of my faith encouraging the world, I sometimes find the world discouraging my faith. As my focus decreases, my weariness increases and I am spent.
What an absolute joy to realize that my thirst for renewal is met when I return to Him. Reading His Word, basking in His love, accepting His grace and embracing His promises restore my soul once more. He continually takes me in His arms and reminds me that He holds me...always. At the end of this journey, I will go to an even greater Home...illuminated by the magnificent Presence of God! This world is not forever. I am truly just passing through.♥~thl
"The Lord reigns, He is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and is armed with strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity." Psalm 93: 1>2
