On the other hand, if we possess every conceivable earthly good and do not have God, we have nothing. We dwell on earth, but heaven is our only destiny. Nothing else matters in comparison. We are reminded that we are pilgrims. We are homeless wayfarers.
Earth is but a temporary place of exile.
Our true home is heaven. Dear Father help us keep that goal in focus and not become sidetracked by those things which are perishable, illusionary and temporary. Help us remember that our journey on earth is for a very short period of time. Heaven is for eternity, forever. May your most holy name be sanctified and honored everywhere.
