It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold.
The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions.
After awhile, they decided to…

These couple who decided to dedicate their life to God and became missionaries. they became missionaries in Africa. For 12 years they stayed there. They built up 3 schools, 8 churches, fed, taught, and almost everything you’d ever imagine what a missionary would do. Which is basically minister to many other helpless souls. This was about in the 1900’s when Franklin Roosevelt was president. So, the married couple were so excited to go home! they couldn’t wait to see there family and friends to greet them at the port as soon as they arrived, imagining the thought of a big celebration. Coincidentally, as the two married decided to go back home to the states after years of serving overseas, the week they decided to go home was the same week and day Roosevelt went home after a few days spent in Africa to go hunting. As the airplane they were in landed and so did Roosevelt’s. seeing a big crowd at the port, Roosevelt steps out and people clap and shout with joy! excited that their president is home, balloons go up and cheers were being heard a mile away. Oh how exciting it was that day for the president. But as soon as the couple got off, the husband expected to see the same thing. But no. no one at the port, empty, quite, and complete solitude. Filled with disappointment the husband asks “Hun, why is it that when we come home, after years of helping out and serving, we don’t even get a greet like that? not even one person”. Feeling sad and gloomy the husband hangs his head down as he walks…
Wife holds his hand and romantically lifts his head up, and looks deep into his eyes and says “Love?…” He responds “yes?“…. “Because we’re not home yet, this is not our home..”
Like the wife, i’m thankful that this earth is not our home. we are just passing through. I’m thankful that the Lord promises us that He is preparing us a place and is coming back to get us. Are you discouraged? do you feel like there’s no hope?… Well good news. this world is not our home one day and very soon we will be leaving, do you want to be with Jesus?are you interested in knowing God? give your heart today…
HAHA! thankkkss uce!! Love you!
Thank you. :/ …
