And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6
The "house of the Lord" is the only home of all pure and holy beings. It is the safe and happy home of angels. It is the everlasting home of the whole family of the redeemed." Stevenson.
This verse has been driven 'home' to me time and again, each time we journey down to Williston to gather the remains of my fathers late estate.
Years earlier, in 2000, after he sold what we considered our home place in Crawfordville, to move to Williston, we went through this same process. Only this time, after losing the property and home due to a reverse mortgage, we no longer have what we call a home place where everyone can gather at Thanksgiving and other occasions, which we often did over the years.
There is some comfort in knowing that we have an eternal home awaiting, a reunion of grand scale, yet still the sadness we experience upon this earth continues, and will, until that day.
