Today is the last day of classes before Thanksgiving break! I could not be any happier or any more ready for the break. As much as I have enjoyed college so far, this break is much needed. I have not been home for almost two months, and though I have seen my family since then (I went camping at Bennett Springs with my dad and brother, my grandparents visited me at SBU, and my mom and I ran a 5K here in Bolivar), I miss my bed and the comforts of home. Not to mention the home-cooked meals. At the risk of being over-spiritual, my excitement for going home has me thinking about going home to heaven. If I am this excited to go back to Lee's Summit after spending only two months away, how excited should I be to go to heaven when the time comes? To return to God and be in His glory forever... that will be so amazing! Because I am pretty sure that heaven will be much, much better than a familiar bed and a good home-cooked meal. Heaven will be continuous joy, continuous praise, continuous basking in the face and glory of our God. Going Home will be so great; it is unfathomable to me.
I pray that all of my friends who are traveling home for Thanksgiving break will have a safe, quick journey. I pray that everyone will have a restful and relaxing break and will be re-energized. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
Home-cooked meals???? Whose home are you going to? Haha. We will have to cook some of those meals together. I am excited to have you around for a week. Many games of scrabble, runs together (outside), our first watching of White Christmas for 2010. See you soon.
