Somewhere more familiar

The other day, I was listening to my friend describe her road trip home to Ohio. As she was driving through Indiana, she began to cry. The surroundings and environment were so familiar to her that she felt like she was home, even though she wasn't. Yet.

As I was sitting there my brain was freaking out
*Attention. Attention. Life Metaphor. This is a Life Metaphor. Attention.*

While we are away from our Heavenly home, we often see and feel things that bring so much peace, and we wonder why. Well, I know why. It reminds us of home, heaven, our Heavenly Father.
Oceans, animals, music, friends, family, words - all of them are put here to remind us of a more familiar place. I can't wait to go home.

And that's what Jenny thinks.
