So, I am returning home today. I am so excited to see my family. In my ten years of marriage, my wife and I have never been apart for this long. I have butterflies in my stomach fluttering around for joy at the thought of seeing my family again. As I ponder this further, my mind moves to the Father God waiting to see his children. There is so much to gain when we come to meet the Father. There is great joy and I can see why. The relationship with my wife and children has given me insight into this. My heart yearns for them. Every time the phone rings while I am gone, my face smiles at the possibility of hearing their voices at the other end. My day is incomplete until I hear from them. I think in some ways, God is the same. He is joyous when his children call upon him. He waits for them to come to him. He is so patient, but he longs for them to call to him. Call upon the Lord today. Spend time with him because he longs to hear from you. When we are far away, he waits for us to come back home. He is waiting with open arms for you to return, are you ready to go home? I know that I am.
In Him,
Paul
