Home is where you hang your hat or at least that is how the saying goes. But how do you balance that with "home is where your heart is"?The two notions are polar opposites of one another, but we try hard to combine them. Home is where we are to be content and happy. So, we change jobs in hopes that by hanging our hat in a new place we will be content or happy. We join different groups and put on their hats in hopes of being happy and content. We seek out new people to try to find happiness in them and we borrow their hats. We buy things for our houses in hopes of making a home. We dream of far away places that might be our home for contentment. We rush and hurry in hopes of finding the perfect place to call home.
And yet ... our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ Philippians 3:20 NIV
Our search for peace and contentment is in the wrong place. Our home is with Christ. This place - this world - is only a temporary stop over. Don't waste your time trying to make this place home. No matter how hard you try it will never be your true home.
Hang your hat for awhile, but it's okay to be restless. It's all part of the journey to the place we call home.
See you Sunday and we can share stories the place we call home ...
