Thoughts of Home…

Daily writing prompt
What brings you peace?

While I often write of my desire to do good for those around me, I feel fairly confident that I have also mentioned many times, that I’m ready to go home!

I haven’t felt apart of anyone’s world for so long, I no longer allow my mind to dream of things of this life… only that which is to come!

If I sat here all day, thinking on all the empty hours and solitude that I exist within, I guarantee you that there would be no peace available to partake in.

This world is vicious… selfish, petty, cruel, vindictive… filled with backbiting, slanderous and nefarious villains at every turn… again, no peace!

If I wasted all my time dwelling on every mistake, failure and sin that I’ve ever committed… also, no peace!

If I exhausted myself with wasted efforts at being a friend, sister, mother and all around good person… I’d be far too tired to have any amount of peace! Trust me… I tried all that!

I am being wholeheartedly honest here… I really really do want to go home!

But… as I am following God to wherever I am to go, my heavenly home will be there, ready to receive me when I’ve fulfilled whatever purpose I was born for doing. No, I don’t really have a clear picture what that purpose is, but as I remain in the word and dwell constantly beneath the shadow of my Father… He brings me peace!

Just sayin…

Here, have a cookie…
