Returning Home to Goodness

by Jacque Watkins

A mama’s heart is never far from home, no matter how far away she is.

And I’m running home to the smiles and embraces, to the silly hands and smudge-filled spaces—A return to all that fills and inspires and stretches and teaches…

And Sundays are for returning home, to rest in surrender to His goodness, to Him who is faithful in using our very lives, for His glory alone.

Psalm 116:7 (NIV)
Return to your rest, my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.

 

May you return in surrender to Him this day, returning home to rest in His goodness, is my prayer.
