Thanksgiving

I have felt so homesick for siblings, parents, dear friends, things that are familiar. Today, the pangs of family far away has ached deep inside of my heart.

I have been thinking a lot about being here and family states away...

which really isn't like countries away...

or heaven away...

I find I am on my knees more.

I seek for peace from Him and He comforts my sad, homesick heart.

And this is what I see...and thank for.

I am thankful for Jesus Christ.
He has lifted my heart when it has felt sad...
so sad to weep...
so sad that I thought it would crumble...
When I prayed,
He lifted me up,
to feel His love...
His Perfect love.
To keep moving...
To keep serving...
