"This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through,
my treasures are laid up somewhere byond the blue,
The angels beckon from heaven's open doors,
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore."

The beauty of this feeling is that it's what we're supposed to be feeling as Christians. If you feel to "at home" here, you might have to stop and take inventory. I can't go anywhere without it hitting me in the face "this world is SO not my home". I can't read the newspaper, watch a movie, read a book, or even work at a Christian publishing house without realizing how so much of the world has discreetly permeated every thought base. Nobody stands for truth anymore because we're trying to placate this world!
The danger in thinking of this world as not our home is that we just sit back and don't get involved. You know I'm not one to sit back and not voice my opinion. My point is to remind us that BECAUSE this world is not our home, we must do everything possible to stand for something, to have purpose in our lives.
This World is not our home, let's fight as hard as we can to make what we do count in our heavenly HOME!!!

Great thought! Thanks for the reminder!
Well, Nanni is there now. I'm a bit jealousy.
Even so, come Lord Jesus!
It is so easy to get distracted! I have found the only thing to really help is to be in the Word daily, studying and meditating on it. If only I was consistent!
Great thoughts Lolli. Thanks for sharing.
Amen! I thank God everyday for all he has given us and attempt to spread the word to anyone who will listen. It's such a shame that so many people have been brainwashed into believing in the Darwin theory or the big bang theory(I remember 'learning it')and now find it hard to believe in God and that the truth is right in our bibles...
