A poor beast that is going
homeward, goes cheerfully!
(Charles Spurgeon, "Flowers from a Puritan's Garden" 1883)
A poor beast that is going
homeward, goes cheerfully!
See how the horse pricks up his ears
and quickens his pace when you turn
his head to his stable. Even the dull
donkey does the same.
Much more then should Christians feel
the attractions of their heavenly home!
Courage, brothers and sisters;
we, too, are homeward bound!
Every hour brings us nearer to
the many mansions!
Our way is toward the FATHER'S
house on high, therefore let us
rejoice at every step we take!
In my FATHER'S house are many
mansions. I am going there to prepare
a place for you!" John 14:1-2
