Today's Upper Room and Luke's story of the Prodigal Son discusses homecomings--of which Dad is so close to having. The writer refers to the "homesickness" and "longing" for home and God. Mom and I have certainly experienced this as well, maybe not to the degree or extent which Dad has in the past eighty one days but we sure know about longing for and missing home and routine.
Unfamiliar places
Lengthy absences
Holes in the family unit
Alone and lost feelings
The realization is that home is where God is and when you feel closest to your beloved family.
Home is a state of mind.
Home is where you find your heart.
Home is where you bare your soul.
Home is the place where God sits in your spirit.
Home is when you find peace and contentment in living.
