Home. What is home? Home is a place where one resides. A place where one rests after coming home from work. Home is somewhere that one feels loved and cherished by a family around them. Today we go home. Home to our families that love and cherish us. Home to summer jobs and friends. Home to rest and recover from this trip where we experienced so much.
At the same time, we leave a home. Africa has blessed us so richly. We have met people that showed us kindness, hospitality and love. We leave behind a culture rich with traditions and full of opportunities. Today I have left a piece of myself in Africa. I am leaving a home for another home. Is not that the truth though? We leave brothers and sisters in Christ to be united with churches and brothers and sisters in Christ who have been praying for our safety and well being. Home is a word that is possibly associated with a house. I am associating it with the people that you meet when you are living in a home. It is the people that make the home. With that being said I can conclude that today we leave our home in Africa to arrive in our homes in North America. In all of this we must remember though, our homes here on earth are only temporary and we must wait patiently for our heavenly Father to call us to our real Home, where we will be reunited with our brothers and sisters in Christ. So with that yes, we are going home. Although, the work is not finished yet. There is still a kingdom waiting to be built and only when that is finished will we hear a voice saying “Welcome Home” and we will know that yes, this is truly home.
