I spent some of the happiest days of my life attending junior high and senior high in nearby University City. I was a stranger in the place I once felt so much a part of. The people, the places, the buildings that once were so significant to you now seemed strange and distant.
Life has a way of shrinking our treasures and clouding our thoughts.
But, alas, we can t stop the clock from ticking. That s why we must value every moment and cherish every occasion and do our best to feel at home in whatever situation God has placed us. You can go home again, but it is never quite the same. Wherever you are is where home is, and feeling at home is half the battle. Taken from The Pastor's Weekly Briefing .
