Home Sweet Home, Here and There

As much as I love traveling and soaking in the beauty of places like Puerto Vallarta, there’s nothing quite like coming home. We returned home yesterday! Sweet Home Austin!

Home sweet home! Home is where the heart is. There’s no place like home. My happy place. Home, my sanctuary. A place of comfort. Home, my refuge. The comfort of home. My cozy corner.

Home, a place of peace. It’s the place where we can kick off our shoes, sink into the comfort of our surroundings, and just be ourselves—no pretenses, no masks, just being home!

As grateful as I am for my sweet earthly home, another home fills my heart with even greater excitement—the home that awaits us in heaven. Can you imagine it? A home where we’ll be welcomed by a heavenly choir, all prepared for those who love and serve the Lord. What a day of rejoicing that will be!

When we all see Jesus, we’ll sing and shout the victory. The struggles of this life will be behind us, and in that moment, nothing will matter but the overwhelming joy of being with Him. There will be no more tears, no more pain—just pure, everlasting peace.

And in that eternal home, there’s no need for the sun or moon because the Lord Himself is our light. His glory will shine brighter than anything we’ve ever known, and we’ll be forever in His presence, basking in His love and majesty.

As much as I love my earthly home, nothing compares to the home we have waiting for us in heaven. It’s a place prepared just for us—a place where we’ll dwell with our Savior, worshiping and rejoicing for all eternity.

So while I’m grateful for my time here, my heart leaps with joy at the thought of that eternal home. I can’t wait to join that heavenly choir and sing, “Victory in Jesus!” What a homecoming that will be!
