I got off my flight with a cramp in my leg, an empty stomach, a bad attitude, and three more hours to go. And the connecting flight was late!
I set down my bags and called home. Denalyn answered. She’s always glad when I call. We made no decisions. We solved no problems. We just talked. And I felt better. When we finished, Denalyn said, “I’m glad you called.” And I hung up happy! I can handle being a pilgrim as long as I can call home whenever I want.
It occurs to me Jesus needed to call home in the middle of the hassles as much as I did. He needed a minute with Someone who would understand. So He chatted with the One He loved; heard the sound of the home He missed.
And He was reminded when all hell breaks loose, all heaven draws near! Maybe you should call home too!
