Home – and endings

There’s no place like home. And there’s no lack of creativity among God’s people.

For almost a year, I’ve been honored to host a range of writers on the topic of home, and each week I’ve marveled at the creativity and wisdom they’ve offered. Home is such an evocative topic, whether it’s the place we yearn for with longing or the fond memory lodged in our hearts and minds from years gone by – or the space we live in at the present.

People have written about the tastes and smells that remind them of home. Of the changing face of home when family members move out. Of space and decluttering and what makes a home. Of living in a foreign country and how to make that – with all of its strangeness – home. Of our hunger for home and our hope in heaven as our ultimate home.

I remain profoundly grateful to all who shared in this blog series, for they’ve enriched my life through their thoughts on home. I’ll soon have a page on my website with an annotated list of the contributions.

Where is home for you?
