From the Pastor:
FBC Dayton Family,
Happy Spring, First Baptist Family!
When I was in Romania, I saw a fast-food restaurant that we have here in the states. We were looking for something for dinner that night, and I wasn’t too hungry. I decided I would go in and get a milkshake. When I asked for the chocolate shake, the reply from the young man was, “I am sorry sir our machine is broken”! I said, “Thank you for making me feel at home”!
I really got homesick on that trip because my family was not with me. I have noticed that I don’t get homesick when I have family with me because they are “home”. I don’t get "house" sick; I get homesick. Home is more than just a structure, instead it is people that make up our homes.
I remember a poem, “A house is made from wood and stone, but a home is made with love alone”!
A few older people have taught me while passing, “When you have more people in Heaven than you do here, you really want to go home!”
Philippians 3:20 “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ...”
Ephesians 2:19 “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household…”
I can’t wait until we are all around the throne of God worshipping Him forever! What about you?
Pastor Bob
