Probably the MOST important thing we learned in Africa was, "This is NOT our home."
No, the "this" isn't Botswana, or Africa, or even Alabama. This WORLD is NOT our home!
"We are just a passin' through" indeed.
It is very easy to get comfortable in this world. We are very comfortable in our Alabama home in Bellwood, Northport.
We were never really, really comfortable in Botswana, and even less comfortable when we traveled away from Gabs. And that is good.
We should NOT be so very comfortable in this world. It is NOT our home, at least to the extent we are spiritually minded.
As CS Lewis said,“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
There once was a popular rural saying, "She's so heavenly minded that she is no earthly good."
I can see a small problem in this situation, but here's a MUCH bigger problem.
"She's so earthly minded that she is no heavenly good."
So where's your mind today?
