Hello, I'm John Eldridge, and welcome to the Ransomed Heart Audio Podcast.

For more information on Ransomed Heart Ministries, our resources and events, please visit

us online at W.W. Ransomed Heart.

This is the Ransomed Heart podcast and this is your host Craig McConnell welcoming you to a

continuation of a series we've been doing and this is actually part five in the series titled Hoping in the

coming kingdom.

And on this particular excerpt from that recording, John's wife Stacy Eldridge is sharing and I'm a big

fan of Stacy's. I love her heart, I love her words and I love what she sees and talks about and in this particular

podcast Stacey's going to be talking about our memories and dreams and hopes and

what we yearn for I think you're going to enjoy. Let's listen now.

Sometimes a partial is really great, right?

I mean when you think about it and just thinking last night about some of our favorite moments at the times around the dinner table when there's such connection and laughter or sitting in front of a fireplace doing smores, seeing a sunset an exquisite night that God gives

just for you.

The signs of connection and intimacy and beauty, those are so stunning and they stir our hearts.

Lori has taught me that a good appetizer does not

satisfy our hunger, but it stirs it.

So it is with the partial.

It does not satisfy our hunger.

We're like, oh good, I'm sated.

No, it stirs our longing for... fire, hunger, we're like, oh good, I'm sated.

And no, it stirs our longing for the more.

And there is more.
