Parting Thoughts...

The time is nearing 1am and I have to be up in the morning to finish packing up, running some errands, and then finally getting on the road by noon so I can be in Indy by 6pm where I will stay until I head back to SC on Friday morning. As I lay here on top of my bed, feeling the electric blanket getting things warm for one last night here at home, I am struck with a thought...I long for Heaven. I don't have a death wish or anything of the sort...I just long for that place where I can be with Jesus and there will be no more moving around or that constant feeling of "unsettled"...in Heaven, I can put down roots that will remain for all eternity. No more saying goodbye to those I love...no more uncertainties about the road ahead...no more long, lonely trips. I think I've shared before how my pastor once said that Heaven is a place where we are welcome, comfortable, and loved. Someone told me not long ago that everytime they say goodbye to people, it gets harder...my heart echoes that thought tonight. I can get pretty cozy where ever I am, which I suppose is why God keeps me on the move...it forces me to depend on Him all the more. Anyhow, a very warm bed is calling my name, so for now, I pray you are well, where ever you are...and I'll see you when I get back to SC. Grace.
