I know, dear God, I am a glimpse away from the pearly gates. I'd like the last league of my journey home to be one worthy of your promises. You have been with me, ahead of me, often times You had to carry me, or pick me up from a muddy patch, or gently guide me back on track. Your hand is always there, your love the strongest force in my character. With anticipation I take every step to my eternal home, a legacy you gave me paid for in full on the cross, just as you want me to. My cup will surely overflow........ and I will dwell in your house forever, Lord.
