I've decided that when I have forgotten what my last post was about, it's a good indication that it's time for a new post! So here it is.
My dear "little" brother (who is bigger than me :) has just returned from a trip to Italy with a flash card full of amazing pictures and several treasures for his family who has missed him dearly. Specifically the treasures of an awesome hat and a red Italian leather notebook for the scribbler, yours truly!
Traveling is a great thing. New sights, sounds, and smells. Honestly, though, I think one of the greatest things about traveling is by far, coming home. Oh, you wouldn't trade the trip and memories for anything! But there is that ache for your own little piece of the world that thrills when you are homeward bound!
This ache is only a reflection of the deeper longing for my real home- heaven. Not that I'm tired of this life and want it to end, by any means! But knowing that this is not where I was made for, that this is just the journey, makes my heart thrill at the thought that I will someday be home. Enjoying the trip, helping where I can, but just passing through.
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
Romans 8:18
