Not Our Home

During the summer, I took my boys to visit Yellowstone. The picture is of Fort Yellowstone, the old army fort based inside the park. When the park was first established, it was the US Army that maintained and administered it; the National Park Service was not established until 1916 and subsequently took over the park in 1918. Anyway, I love old houses and I loved these old houses in particular, but nothing compared to the beauty of the park itself. Absolutely breathtaking. I love our national parks! Even so, this beautiful country, this beautiful planet is not my permanent home; it is temporary. As Christians, we have been promised an even better home, an even better country. The best is yet to come!
