Thought For The Day

New Home

After working most of our lives – thus far – my bride and I have decided that it is time for a new home. We won’t be abandoning our current home right yet, but we have found the one we are thinking about for our future. As soon as I saw the listing, I knew I would be interested, and when I discovered it was a simple house, on a beautiful beach, I knew it was just what we needed.

Here’s the add:

Hawaiian Hideaway
Julia Roberts is known for being fiercely protective of her family’s privacy, so it’s no surprise the actress calls a hidden Hawaiian getaway a home away from home. America’s sweetheart just put her historic estate on the market for—wait for it—an astronomical $29.8 million. (Lonny)
 If I can’t get the money (I would need each reader of Lloveletters to send me $2) I will just have to wait a bit. I am absolutely confident that when our Father creates a new Heaven and Earth, every place where Believers will dwell will be just as “perfect” as this one is now. I believe Believers will live with everything that makes them happy and fulfilled – and that might be worship, but it doesn’t leave out beaches, mountains, incredible islands and the beauty that is so much a part of this “first Earth” creation.
I think more and more every day about Heaven. Randy Alcorn, who writes about Heaven, believes we are made for this Earth, and the new Earth will be like the old Earth before sin and death. I think he’s right. My mansion may be on that Hawaiian beach or high in the Tetons just outside Jackson Hole. Wherever it is, it’s going to be affordable – free – a gift from the one who spoke life into existence, and purchased our forever with His own blood.
