I have shared that we are getting ready to do a short sale on our house. It has been a difficult decision and process for me. While I know that my house is just a building, I have developed an emotional attachment to it.
It is where we lived when our son was born.
It has a great backyard.
It is small and easy to clean.
It is where we lived when we were both baptized.
It is where we have spent the last 6 years of our lives.
I understand that financially, it is a good decision to sell. But emotionally, there is a struggle within me.
"For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands." 2 Corinthians 5:1 NIV
My home here is just that, an earthly tent. Not a permanent place to reside. God has a place prepared for me in heaven, an eternal home with Him.
"...And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23:6 NIV
And I will have the privelege of living with Him forever in my eternal home.
I pray I can remain focused on that.
In His Grace...
