Old Buildings
I love history, old buildings, architecture, and museums. So today my wife and I visited the Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada, where we live. My niece has work there as a summer job, and she gave us a very informative tour of the house and its artifacts, telling us about the former, long ago, inhabitant and how he lost the house and all his possessions due to a bad investment and bankruptcy
With all the homes, castles, palaces, chateaus and manor houses I have visited around the world, the one I want to see the most is the Father’s House. That is a home that is out of this world. We are told very little about it in the Bible, but the Lord did say, “In My Father’s house are many mansions.” He also tells us, “I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:2-3). While we don’t know a lot about heaven, one thing is for sure, it is a place that will far outshine any of our expectations. Best of all, it is where the Lord Jesus will be, and we will be eternally with Him. It is often said that four walls and fine furniture don’t make a home, and this is certainly true. Heaven wouldn’t be heaven without the presence of our Saviour.
