What Do E.T. and Dorothy Long For?

     What do both E.T. and Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz long for?
     
It’s a simple, four-letter word.
     
E.T. pointed his bony finger toward the heavens and mourned for home.
     
Dorothy faced a Wicked Witch with Flying Monkeys to get back home.
     
We all aspire for the peace and comfort that’s inherent in that little word.
      
In fact, we may have the best of times with family and friends. But after we say our goodbyes, we may sense that what we’ve experienced is just a taste of something better - what “home” is meant to be.
     
That’s because we live in a paradise lost, where one way or another, everything’s broken.
     
So we yearn for more.
     
“We were not meant for this world alone,” Billy Graham said. “We were meant for Heaven. And Heaven is our ultimate home.”     Which is why I burst with excitement that Jesus said he was going on ahead to prepare a place for us in God’s big, big house. Where nothing is broken. With no more goodbyes. Only endless hellos.
​     
What a homecoming that will be.

Amen on your "HOME" comment....Trish....btw, I did thoroughly enjoy reading the digital version of the Wooden Indian. I got into the characters in this lovely fiction with locations I have visited or stayed in the past. I am happy for your successful 1st book. It was filled with intrigue, humor, historical accuracy and development of your characters and short chapters. Say hello to Bernice please and Duane. HE HAS RISEN
