All Things New

Our new home is brand new. The only other creature that has lived in it besides us was a disoriented field mouse, but he has since moved on. Not only do we have a new home, but it has brand new address. No other house in our town has ever had our address. Together with our son we are embarking on the new experiene of home schooling. A new home, a new address, new educational experience, and now I have a new job at a brand new store. It reminds me of the passage in Revelation: "Behold, I make all things new. Former things have passed away." I wasn't looking for a new life. I loved the life I was in. But there are many things now, living here, that are richer, warmer, even more gratifying than even the best of what was before. And if it's this good down here, think of how wonderful it will be when the Lord returns and there is a brand new heaven, and a brand new earth!
PS. I like the NEWsboys.
