IT’S TIME FOR YOUR LOVE CHECK-MRS. BROWN ISN’T HOME

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God,  an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.  2 Corinthians 5:1

​A nursing home stood next door to my church in New Albany, Indiana, and once each month I held a Bible study there for the residents. One of the regular attenders was a nice lady named Mrs. Brown. My youngest son was four at the time, and he would come with us to the Bible studies. Mrs. Brown always had candy for him, which may have been more incentive to go than to hear his Dad talk.

​After Mrs. Brown got so she couldn’t come anymore, my son would still go down the hall to visit her and get candy. At the Bible study one day he went down the hall and knocked on her door, but she did not answer. He came back to us and said, “Mrs. Brown isn’t home.” We learned that she had passed into the presence of her Lord. “Mrs. Brown is home,” my wife and I both thought together.

​How clearly children speak, often without knowing the importance of their words.
