Change Of Address
Volume 2, Day 255
Every 26 years or so, we move to a different house.
Actually Sue and I moved into our first home when our first child was a baby. We had no idea we would live there for 26 years. When we finally did change our residence, it was an emotional time.
On the day we moved, after everything was out of the house, we did one final walk through to relive the memories. The toughest moment came when we entered Melissa’s bedroom. We had said goodbye to her 2 years earlier after a car accident took her earthly life. Now we were bidding adieu to the room decorated with sunflowers she loved so much.
As I think of that emotional time when we moved, I am reminded of what a great change of address Melissa enjoyed on the day she was ushered into God’s presence. Our move to a different house pales in comparison to the glories our daughter now enjoys in heaven. What a grand comfort to know that our departed loved ones who have trusted in Jesus are now living in God’s majestic kingdom! (2 Cor. 5:1).
Are you ready for that ultimate change of address? No matter where you live on this earth, make sure your final home will be heaven.
