Thought of the day

As much as our homes mean to us, they are not permanent…. Those disciples who for Christ’s sake gave up houses and lands and loved ones knew little of home life or home joys…. The venerable Bishop Ryle is reputed to have said, “Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people, and those who enter shall find that they are neither unknown or unexpected.” Even life’s happiest experiences last but a moment, yet heaven’s joy is eternal. Some day we will go to our eternal Home—and Christ will be there to welcome us!
