There is such a tearing of ones heart as you say those good byes to dear friends and family. I had very simular feelings when we arrived back stateside 6 years ago. It takes time to adjust and build new memories with friends and family here. This is when it gets challenging when God calls you again to move. I remember Dave Abbotts message one Sunday at Aritao, Are you still willing to go where God wants you to go? You think well I've already answered His call to go, but then things happen and He may move you to some unfamiliar island or place, are you still willing to go? I say yes, but that isn't always easy as those feelings of leaving come back again.

This I've learned well the last couple years. I am not sure we are supposed to ever feel like we are "home". That would mean rest, relaxation and lets face it, as long as there is breath there is work to be done in God's Kingdom. Just my thoughts from one who doesn't always feel like she is home even while gardening in her urban plot.<br />The Roundy 7https://www.blogger.com/profile/08347433685570292484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28920341.post-66956702037502894702012-08-14T17:19:25.485-05:002012-08-14T17:19:25.485-05:00Well said, Cynthia!

Maybe for a Christian it's difficult to find "home" because heaven is our home. All I know is I always seem to have a longing for somewhere that's not here.Bobbi https://www.blogger.com/profile/06871406311048136591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28920341.post-48858250528771829152012-08-14T11:52:38.508-05:002012-08-14T11:52:38.508-05:00Wow, Cynthia.

I could have written it myself, but perhaps not half so eloquently, just substituting 'California' for 'Canada.'Donna Amis Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408854527092656997noreply@blogger.com
