Home, sweet, home

Sometimes I get this feeling that I am not home when I am home.
Sitting on my couch. Watching my tv or sleeping on my own bed.
I get this feeling that I do not belong.
Where ever I go, what ever I do,  sometimes I feel like it is not enough.
A feeling that there is so much more greatness to be achieved no matter how
much I have achieved already.
I feel a yearning for a place that I havent seen but that I know well.


I was recently reading a book by one of my favorite authors Max Lucado called Traveling Light and speaks about how we must never get too comfortable in this temporary home that we have on earth. Make sure to not carry too much luggage because we are traveling on our way to our permanant home. A place that has beautiful things waiting for us. In his book Lucado he pointed out some important things:

-when we travel on a plane do we buy a king size bed and put it on the plane?

when we travel by train do we hang photos of the people that we love?

when we travel by car, do we put in it a kitchen?

we DO NOT because we know its temporary-

 

 

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." book of Matthew

 

 

We must remember that all this that we are living is temporary.

Don't focus so much on decorating. On getting too comfortable in a place where you will never be completely comfortable no matter how much you try.
Or building treasures on quick sand.
Enjoy the journey you're in.
Love and live with passion and rember to Travel light,
our permanent home is in heaven!!!!
