Homesick

I am in a weird place right now. I feel....homesick. But the thing is, I am home. I have been contemplating this for a while, this being homesick thing. Are any of us really home? Where is home? Home is where the heart is, but what if your heart is in a million places? Okay, not a millions, but a few hundred! I have pieces of my heart in Idaho, New Mexico, Utah, and here in California. Although my home is currently here in California, I believe that probably left my heart in New Mexico.

Given all this, it has made me even think more on a spiritual level. I guess home, our true home, would be with our Heavenly Parents. I cannot image the pain our Parents must have been in when They said those last good-byes and gave a hug and a kiss on the cheek and then sent us out the door. They asked for so little from us - keep in touch, be careful, and We will see you when you return. I get so excited when I get a text message from either Garrick or Natalie or when I see their numbers on the caller ID. I love to hear about their days and their lives. I image our Heavenly Father feels the exact same way when we get on our knees and tell him about our day. I can imagine Him beaming just a bit when we truly thank Him for all of our blessings and when we let Him know that are okay and are really trying our best. He is just waiting, as spiritually we all are, for us to return home.

I hope I make it there.
