Hometown

I spent the biggest part of my day today with my mom and dad in my hometown. I don't live that far from my hometown but its far enough that I don't get there but maybe 2 times a month if I am lucky. My parents still live in the house that I grew up in. They moved into it when I was 1 year old. So I sat there today thinking about the past... the memories and stuff like that... my parents are not in good health so my days of going to my childhood home and just "being there" is coming to and end soon... I talked about how much you run around when your kids are at home and sat there and looked at my dad and was thinking that not too long ago he was where I am raising kids at home and running them everywhere... with my oldest going into her senior year it won't be long before I'll be where dad is now... Where will I be when I am his age? What will my heath be like? What will I be able to do... not able to do? Will I still be preaching? Will I still own and run beagles? How many grand kids will I have? Will I be able to see them much? Live close to them? What stories of God's grace and love will I be able to tell those around me. I just hope I can remember them all to be able to share with my grand kids and those around me... I hope I'll be able to say then what I say now........
He's waiting.... I looking to rendezvous with Him!
