MARY

When Kay's Mother, Mary, moved to Aiken from Charlotte, Kay and Henry built her a precious little house, behind their own home. It was just a short walk from Kay and Henry's and you could see it from Kay's living room. My, how she loved being in that home too.
When it became evident that she was unable to care for herself, she moved in with Kay and Henry, but everyday, she would sit and look out at her home and long to be there in her own dwelling place.
Mary got her wish a few weeks ago, and went Home to our Father above at age 94!
The picture of Mary looking out at her house, reminded me of how God has placed a longing in each of us to be Home with Him too.....
There is a sense within us that this existence right here, is not all there is, because God placed that sense within us when we were created, and our longing is to return from whence we came.
Just as Mary longed to go to her earthly home, but received a a grander "Heavenly Home" in the process, we can temporarily live in our earthly homes but be assured of our Heavenly Homes when the time comes!
