Well, welcome to another edition of our weekday podcast, Things Unseen, where this week

we've been reflecting on special places, or more accurately I've been talking about

some of the places and moments and people that have proven to be special in my own life.

In the hope that it will encourage us all to reflect on exactly the same thing, people

and places and moments when the Lord has met with us, that we should never forget.

And actually it's something our spiritual forefathers thought was important for our spiritual

well-being, that we remember the ways in which God has met with us, and we all have different

places, different events that have been spiritually significant in our lives.

There's one place however I hope you can put on your list, home.

Some of us may have moved so often that we find it difficult to answer the question, where

do you call home?

I think over the years we've lived in about a dozen different houses that you could have

called home, at least in the sense they've been the place where we've returned at the end

of the day.

But they haven't all felt in the same way, this is our home.

There's a difference between a house being where you return at the end of the day, and

where you feel is really home.

That's where you sense that you belong, where your roots are, where the people you feel

you belong to live.

In many ways the old adage is true, isn't it?

Home is where the heart is, where you have a sense of ease and comfort, not just physical

comfort with familiar things, but comfort with people, your home.
