There is something so exciting about a homecoming. Whether it is your schools homecoming, your child coming home or your heavenly homecoming it makes your heart skip a beat.
This past week was full of homecomings in our family.
Our oldest daughter, Court, came home for the weekend and Seth her boyfriend got to join her. I love it when they are here. I espcially love our girl time and visits. I hate that our time together goes way toooooo fast!
We also traveled to my moms for a homecoming and some birthday parties. It is always relaxing there out in the country with only the cows mooing in the background.
While Court was here Bubberz came to visit more. Not only did he stay awhile and visit (a challenge for a busy college kid) he also played the guitar and piano for us. Oh – I can’t tell you how I miss the sound of his guitar ringing through the house. (I texted him late last night and asked if he’d come play for me – he texted back LOL!) Where’s the love?!!!
When everyone left and the house calmed down after the weekend, it was time to get ready for our school Homecoming. Linds is a sophomore and had been sick all week. Guess what? She miraculously managed to be well-enough to make it to Homecoming on Friday. (I’m sure the cutie in the pic had something to do with it! Go figure?)
Fun times definitely!
But just imagine your heavenly homecoming . . .
Time will stand still
No need to rush – you have eternity
It will be calm – not sure about mooing cows
You will have opportunity for guitar and praise music all day – wow –
and what about that trumpet
There will be no more sickness, nor sorrow, nor loneliness, nor death – Hallelujah
It won’t just happen once a year
It will be a heavenly homecoming everyday!
This was beautifully said! Thank you so much for the visit to my baby blog. :)
Oh Alene I calmed down just reading the end of your post. I think about eternity a lot and how wonderful it will be when we step on the other side. It is truely something I look forward to and long for often.
I loved this post!

I miss going home to my parents but I do enjoy when my son comes to vist,which could be more often:)
Thanks for bring your post from the natural to the spiritual. It tied it all in and warmed our hearts. We are family!
