Whenever my brother comes into town from Missouri, he has regular stops he anticipates, besides family gatherings. The first stop today was Whataburger and tomorrow he has Chick-Fil-A scoped out for lunch. My sister-in-law will make sure one meal involves Mexican food and our mother will make sure two or three of her trademark “goodies” are offered. When we lived in Memphis, one of the meals I made sure to eat on returning trips to Dallas was Jack-In-The-Box tacos. This summer my husband and I plan to make a trip to the Pacific Northwest and one of the staples we plan to eat is salmon because we have such fond memories of salmon served on our Vancouver trip. I have been hoping to eat fish tacos for almost a month, but haven’t found it offered at many restaurants like we discovered in San Diego. On a long trip, home can be in the form of Dairy Queen or McDonalds.
My prayer for the congregation?
Dear God, You supply all our needs and quench our desires. Let us crave to spend time with you, yearn to be fed by your word, and ache to call home within your presence. You offer one-of-a-kind sustenance that cannot be found anywhere else. Let us rejoice that we don’t have to wander, you are everywhere. Let us also praise the remarkable truth that because you are everywhere, we can journey and still have our necessities met there as well. You are home. Amen.
