"I still close my eyes and go home - I can always draw from that."
I am finding that quote by Dolly Parton in an old 
Reader's Digest.(October 2008)
I have never had an earthly home.
I was born in 1940 in the east of Germany and I had to flee and ended up in the north of Germany near the 
danish border. (Schleswig - Holstein) 
But I have a heavenly home. In a very old book called 
GOOD IN EVERYTHING by H. L. Gee I find what Earl 
Baldwin said: "In the remote parts of the countryside 
old people still say of those who die, They have gone home."
I have never known my earthly father. My father fought in the war and did not 
come back. We don't even know where he died.
But I know my heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the same book GOOD IN EVERYTHING I read also what Rev. William J. May said: "In a quiet churchyard in Sussex is a simple grave which bears this lovely 
inscription: Gone home with a Friend."
I close my eyes and go to my heavenly home. I can always draw from that. But 
not only that. I open my BIBLE and read about my heavenly home!
