Thoughts from a home-sick Nona

What am I homesick for?  My children and grandchildren.  My friends.  The life I am accustom to?  I had a very emotional encounter with a woman yesterday who is consumed with loving the Lord Jesus Christ, she just kept saying to me over and over again " I just love HIM, I just love HIM!" and then she would ask "do you understand?".   I did understand but was also ashamed of myself after listening to her story.  Everything and everyone she has ever held dear have been taken away from her, she was evicted from her home and stripped of all her finances and yet she sat across from me and kept saying "My God is so good, so great and awesome in HIS power, I just love HIM, I just love HIM!"  After a few hours of contemplation I realized I should be homesick for the presence of Almighty GOD!  I should miss the consuming desire to be pleasing in HIS sight above all else.  I have spent the last twelve hours greatly convicted of my petty desires.  I really do want the testimony of my life to point to Jesus Christ and HIM alone.  May you find HIM in the center of your thoughts, your desires, your time and in fact your entire life.  As always a contemplative Nona.
