our home and our street

It is in the snow flow 9:59 AM Tuesday morning. I took pictures of our home this morning before driving over to the hospital to pick up my wife (my wife works night shift at a local hospital). We have lived in this house for 25 years. It is the longest place I have lived in my entire life. I love our home. To me our home is paradise on earth. I do not like to leave our home because I am always afraid it won't be here when I come back. I am always afraid some evil force will destroy our home. It is a blessing to have a home. It is a blessing to have a place you can call your own. I feel pain for all those millions of people in the world who are homeless or displaced.

I constantly have to remind myself I am seeking a heavenly homeland. This world is not my home. "Nevertheless we according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells" 2 Peter 3:13.
