'For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.' (2 Corinthians 5:1)
Our homes aren't the buildings we live in. They're the memories we build around those places.
'Do you remember...?'
'Here's where...'
'What about that time...?'
Memories that can make you cry, painful connections to something lost. But good memories as well - ones that make you smile, ones that will always be precious.
Homes are also the people we live with, feel safe and comfortable with. Family. Friends. Maybe pets for some?
If we move house, as long as these people are with us, home won't be lost. New memories will be built.
God will never leave us. no matter where we live.
Finally, this world is not our permanent home. The New Earth is coming - where we will live forever with our Lord. That's our true and eternal home!
Thank you God for our homes, both temporary and eternal.
