The call of home

God leads us in directions we don't expect sometimes. If we follow the path our Lord puts in front of us it will always work out. I say this because I never expected to leave my hometown. Five and one half years ago I left my hometown. I left by the leadership of my Lord Jesus. I do not regret my decision, although I do miss my people. I guess no matter how much time goes by I'll always miss the old days. I don't know if God will ever lead me back there again. We just have to accept what our Lord commands. As a pastor I never know where God will lead me... I just know He will not lead me astray. Maybe I'll stay at this church from now on, maybe I'll leave tomorrow. Whatever God says I must do I'll do. This is a small sacrifice compared to what my Lord did for me. No matter where I end up I guess I'll always hear the call of home where I grew up. One day I'll hear the call of my eternal home with the Lord.

Everyone feels like that sometimes. I feel that way sometimes to. Miss old places,and people. You remember the old days, though all of them were not good, but some were. But one day we will truly be home, and want it be great?
