coming "home"

home, when i looked up the definition there were 31 ways to describe this one word and its uses, 31. i take great effort in checking my head and heart to make every attempt at not clinging to things or places. i have come to believe that home has very little to do with a place, it has more to do with a feeling and the people, at least for me. i have lived a very transient life in the past 8 or so years. i have used the term "home" to label many of the places i have lived. not because they were where i was raised or because my blood family lived there, but instead it was a place i could breath deep and find a certain amount of rest.

for me the trick to making any place feel like home is peace. the peace i receive through the presence of our holy God is something i pursue with a fierce tenacity. i believe it is His gift to us and its what keeps me sane. His peace is pervasive in any situation and can make any place feel like home. we can take this where ever we go, it is the constant equalizer in a shifting and trying world. may you enjoy the peace that comes through heavenly and earthly fellowship.
