It's wonderful to be home again. To have something we call a home, whether it is a castle or a hut or something in between, rented or owned, is a fundamental need for mankind. Our kids would add: Home is where our parents are.This summer we have had reversed roles, we have been in the homes of our children and they have certainly made us feel at home. Applause for them!!
It is as important to be at home in God, here and now. I am reminded about the Swedish well known song: "As when a child comes home in the evening, and is welcomed with a sweet embrace; such it was for me to come home in God and I felt, here is where I belonged.....''
We can also be at home in Daddy's house, but act as if we were guests 
or servants and not as sons. If we have had a difficult time relating to our parents, we might have decided in our hearts, we don't need them, then we become emotionally homeless or orphans, and we might take that feeling with us into our relationship with Father God too. A wall is then being built against them, which remains in our emotional life even when we are stepping into Father God's home too.
We become like the child who is fidgity and not relaxed at home in the embrace and therefore can not receive the warmth of the love expressed.
Anyway ...... It is good to be at home in Chiang Mai and in Fathers embrace. Hugs Anna
PS. I'm thinking of all those missionaries whop these days are trying to create new homes, or are coming back to a home far away or in Sweden. Father help them!!
