You know... that glorious feeling when you finally pull into your driveway (or crunchy gravel road) and realize that you're back home... after days away and miles gone by...
You roll down the windows and breathe it in. The fragrance that tickles your nose...and draws a smile.
The happy pups who delight in your arrival!
The soul sighs with content even as the muscles protest the long, cramped ride! But what bliss to walk the farm, savoring the sights, the smells, the sounds... unpacking can wait as we discover all we've missed...
And as if on cue, we hear baby bleats from the stable!
Born just hours after we arrived home! Our farm-sitter was one nervous girl keeping nanny watch!
Twin Girls, Healthy and Sound, Silky and Sweet
Delightful Welcome Home Gift!
And then as dusk lulls the babies to sleep, these tired travelers finally fall into bed... Our own bed!
A scrumptious feeling to slide between cool sheets and sink into our own comfy mattress, with pillows plumped just so...
We melted into sleep, that kind of hazy, drifting away on waves of content...
and somewhere between wake and sleep, a thought floated gentle, and I wondered
if this is what it will be like when we finish this earthly Journey
and finally arrive Home...
A Heavenly Home that will feel as glorious to our senses as coming home to the farm...
walking down the lane to a fragrance familiar
to be greeted with welcome that wraps us in happy
and find unexpected delight in Gifts He has prepared just for us.
To Fall into Rest so Perfect and Complete
we can't help but sink into Peace
It will be Grace Amazing
in so many ways.
Grateful Always for His Tender Mercies in
bringing us home safely thus far,
Filled with Hope for the Journey and HomeComing
that is yet to come,
In Graced Assurance,
Jane
