Day 58 longing for home

Day 58 “Oh yeah

To all the travelers, pilgrims longing for a home From one who walks with you

On this journey called life’s road

It is a long and winding road

From one who’s seen the view

Dreamt of staying on the mountains high And one who’s cried like you Wanting so much just to lay down and die

I offer this, we must remember this

We are not home yet, we are not home yet Keep on looking ahead, let your heart not forget We are not home yet, not home yet, not home yet

So close your eyes with me

And hear the Father saying, ” Welcome home”

Let us find the strength in all His promises…

So keep on lookin’ ahead, let your heart not forget

We are not home yet, oh, we are not home yet”

Not Home Yet Steven Curtis Chapman

This will be very personal so bear with me. There are places I have been in my life where I have felt at home. I have felt a connection to the earth or the building even; there are people with whom I have made this same connection. I don’t think I’m alone in this…I have heard others talk of this amazing sense of being in a place that feels like home.

But there is still a restlessness…it seems….at least for me…even in the places that feel like home…a longing for another country…a place from which we are longing.

As CS Lewis wrote, “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
