“But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I remember traveling to get somewhere for the holidays and constantly on the phone letting the other loved one know we are almost there. The excitement would build. Then finally we would be greeted in the driveway. Hugs, kisses, excitement.

We are not so much citizens of where we reside. Or captive to the situation we are in, instead we are citizens of heaven. This is not our true home. We live now knowing this and we live with a great expectation and excitement because some is waiting on us in the driveway.

* This heron would greet us when we would visit our family in Pine Level. We hold great memories of visiting those that we love.
