In approx. 30 minutes we will be leaving the North.
Several people have asked me if I'm ready to leave.
My response varies.
"Well, it's been a nice vacation, but I think I'm ready to go."
"Kinda of ready, but I loved it up here."
You know, that kind of stuff.
The truth is, the question they ask has a deeper meaning that goes beyond a simple visit.
I used to worship this place called Canada. It was my escape from all American problems.
My homeland. Until now.
The past several months, I have turned a new chapter in life. Being here has helped me to see. That crazy place called Lancaster is now home. I have found freedom in letting go of the bitterness I once had.
And being a strange person in a strange land has helped me to see that this home is only temporary. My real home is in Heaven.
This earthly life is only for so long.
I have learned so much from the Canadian culture. I hope I never forget those lessons. I have learned so much from Lancaster culture. I don't want to lose that either. Both places may be home for a little while.
But Heaven is no doubt so much better.
