The year is speeding past, September has almost closed. At the moment I am hoping that the current batch of server weather, will pass as others have done, leaving behind wind tossed trees, by that I don't mean blown over, but just that limbs move with the winds passing, some rain, and no damage to people or property.   

So far this year has produced savage weather and for many the thought of 'Coming Home', has been devastating to say the least, grief at dealing with loss and having to start again can be more than some are able to bear, so my thoughts reached for a home that will not suffer damage and cannot be taken from me.

This is my blog for the Christian Writer Blog Chain.




Coming Home



A lifetime is spent
Travelling to my home
My Father is waiting
He guides me,
To encourage others
Onto the road
And, they in turn,
Help me to navigate.


I can see,
A large mansion
My room is prepared
I have not rested,
In this room,
Yet I have seen,
Through foggy glass,
And promise.


Words from my Father,
Walk with me,
He encourages me,
 To light His path,
Feed anyone who,
Does not have food,
Care for the injured,
Bandage their wounds


                                                    For now, says my Father,
I want you to travel,
Love, as I love you,
My father's words
Are my GPS,
I will welcome you,
He promises, when,
Your journey ends, and
You come home.

  3. It seems to be a consensus - the GPS line is brilliant.

  4. "A lifetime is spent traveling to my home" reminds me of "This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through." A journey of a lifetime to get to our true home.

    Thanks for sharing.

  5. I'm slow in reading this month but I've made the commitment to do it. Thanks for your post. I was especially drawn to the phrasing "My father's words
    are my GPS."
