I really like this house; I could call it home in a heartbeat!!! What first caught my eye was that veranda. Most homes do not have these, but I wish more did; just the place for outside furniture. And how unusual is that multi-sided entrance? Even the brick paver’s seem well placed; someone put a lot of thought into the design of this little beauty. This home could be a place where I would live, but where I really live is inside my own skin and that house is showing its age. Wouldn't it be nice if I could change that abode to something more pleasing? Well, it will happen, sooner or later as The God of heaven, will supply me with a new spiritual body and a new place to live in as well. Jesus puts it this way...
John, Chapter 14
1 “Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also. 4 Where I go, you know, and you know the way.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him.”

If God were to design a home, what would it be like? Don't know, but from what I hear, that first home for humans (the garden of Eden) was a nice place. Perhaps, God will just read our minds and give us our hearts desire or maybe have someone like Moses or Elijah get us to fill out a "wish list" form. I think mine would include a swimming pool out back (salt based purification, thank you) and a veranda and a heated pool for relaxation as well. I don't know where God will put it in heaven- I guess I will just have to ask Jesus to show me the way!!! Why not????
