A Summer Morninghas come!
Looking
through the lace screen in the doorway facing the mountains from the front window, suddenly reminding me of the song the Gaither's sing, it is relating some of the story of Jesus life here on earth. Then came the Morning!
I have already had my cup of hot drink filtered in a recycled teabag with the only creamer in the fridge, Pacific canned milk, listening to the ambulance siren somewhere, and a dog’s incessant barking. Clouds from last nights rain hang over the mountains and the mist from the river that touches with the earth hovers over the land. Every thing is still again. Most mornings are that way now, a car went by and two people from their morning walk stroll by chatting and laughing!! Its quiet again as they disappear and the stillness squeezes me. PING. facebook says there is a message!! I look and there is a story to read on the fire in Williams Lake. Its epic, turn to it here.
The question came to my mind, how important is it to keep these memories and to make blogs or diaries, to take pictures? When we are lonely for home the old pictures fill the space that is locked in our heart. Other peoples memories inspire and touch the heart! Stewart Schwab shared his homeland pictures to which I related. All of us have the same goals to go back where we came from, where we belonged. Here is his home in the pink and green and then there is mine with all the windows. Both are school houses!! I remember the crystal/glass doorknobs the doors had and always wondered what happened to them :) the old house is not there anymore, but Stewart could go back to his.
The pictures we have of our home in heaven is something to look forward to, Evacuations from earth will tear us up, because some of us find beauty in what we see. What we only imagine from His word is that there will be beauty in heaven also, that there will be peaceful, happy times, forever times, where our cowboy hats will be in place and the smiles on our faces will be real, the door knobs of crystal will still be there, the door will always be open to welcome another visitor at the porch. God doesn’t say there will be flowers that will line the railings but I am sure there will be!!!
the last sip of my drink is cool now, but it still tastes good!!
Thanking God for the memories, I am looking forward to a place where there will always be peace and hope you will come to my porch in heaven and I will a have a good herbal tea ready!! My angel and I will serenade you!! Seriously... may each one who reads this be blest as you envision your place in heaven!!

Song:
song from Vestal Goodman Holy Hills of Home
The holy hills of Heaven call me
To mansions bright across the sea
Where loved ones wait and crowns are given
When the hills of home keep calling me
This house of flesh is but a prison
Bars of bone hold my soul
But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open
When the angel sets my spirit free
I'll take my flight like a mighty eagle
When the hills of home start calling me
I see loved ones over yonder
Tears are gone and hearts are free
And from the throne king Jesus beckons
Oh the hills of home are calling me
This house of flesh is but a prison
Bars of bone hold my soul
But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open
When the angel sets my spirit free and
I'll take my flight like a mighty eagle
When the hills of home start calling me
When the hills of home start calling me
So enjoy your thoughts in these letters. They strike a chord in me. Thank you for sharing your heart.
