People of a Distant Country, Wending Our Way Home

by Sandra Bennett
TCF

25 Dec

“I believe in the Virgin Birth in the fullest and most literal sense; 
that is, 
I deny that copulation with a man was the cause of the Virgin’s pregnancy.”
~ C. S. Lewis ~ 

Especially on holy days …holidays… we people who are aliens upon this globe, with one eye on the here and now, the other on the hereafter, celebrate His story. The greatest love story of all time, meted out in one small Book, giving only glimpses of unspeakable joy because our hearts are small.

For those who have loved ones gone ahead, when you’re able, because of hope, choose joy. In a brief instant, this life will be over and we will celebrate His Story, His Father throughout eternity. Our minds cannot conceive no fear, no pain, no sorrow rather an eternity of unlimited, unbounded joy with the Creator of the universe.

Dare I suggest God has saved the best for last?
“I have come so that you may have life and have it more abundantly.” 
~ Jesus ~ 
Choose joy and life everlasting; 
please join we people of a distant country, 
wending our way home.

Blessings ~ God, the Father who sent His only begotten Son ~ Jesus Christ, the Son who gave His will freely to do His Father’s bidding ~ Christians, we people of a Distant Country, wending our way Home ~ eternity in heaven ~
