“Come, go home with me.”

My wife is my Tennessee sweetheart.

It was from her family I heard this expression; some one who’s been at your home is leaving. In the midst of “good-bys” they say, “Come, go home with me.” They may live in a mansion compared to your cottage but they’ve enjoyed your home, loved the meal (Was it crispy-fried chicken, fluffy mashed “taters” and scrumptious gravy?) and they like you. In fact they enjoyed the time together so much they don’t want it to end. Believer, as we obey the Father He’s in our home, with us as we enjoy spiritual food, and wants to extend His time with us forever.

Oh, I want to go with the Father, as life winds down, and He says, “Come, go home with Me.”
