HOMETOWN

David and I watched a Hallmark movie tonight, entitled "Candles on Baystreet."
It was a sweet movie and all about hometown kindness.A young girl returns home to die, but not before she finds just the right family for her young son.It just so happens to be the family of an old flame! What touched me about this movie, was how much stock they placed on the value of the town's people.They all came together at the end,and brought a picnic to this young girl, because she was too sick to go.This made me think about how special my own hometown of Mount Dora was, and how the folks there have always stood by me in everything that has happened to me.They were right by me,when my son died;when my folks died, and when I spent most of my life being sick......
Then there are those folks in Aiken, who are like family to me, and so special too.They have been through my brain hemorrage,and the death of my son.They have been right there, giving me encouragement with God's word, and that's what the body does!
One of these places is like a hometown to me.The other actually is my hometown.
Both are very special, because the love of my Lord was involved
In reality,though, I haven't even arrived at my real Hometown.
My real family is there, and some folks I have never met.
This is one Hometown that will last for an Eternity,folks and I can't wait to go Home to this Hometown, 'cause my Lord will be waiting!
Woo Hoo!
