the house

There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?

- John 14:2 (NLT)

 I have this crazy dream of being able to have a house so big that each of my children can move in with their families but still have their own space.

My husband and I would have our own space too, but there would be one central gathering place in the center for family fun and events.
Obviously, we would also have a lot of land for the dirt bikes and four wheelers and just so much fun.

While this is my dream, it is something very real for those who follow Christ.
Of course, you know I have a song about this, it’s from 1993 called Big House, by Audio Adrenaline:
I don't know where you lay your head

Or where you call your home

I don't know where you eat your meals

Or where you talk on the phone

I don't know if you got a cook

A butler or a maid

I don't know if you got a yard

With a hammock in the shade

I don't know if you got some shelter

Say a place to hide

I don't know if you live with friends

In whom you can confide

I don't know if you got a family

Say a mom or dad

I don't know if you feel love at all

But I bet you wish you had

Come and go with me

To my Father's house

Come and go with me

To my Father's house

It's a big big house

With lots and lots a room

A big big table

With lots and lots of food

A big big yard

Where we can play football

A big big house

Its my Father's house

Ibidibidee bop bop bow whew! yeah!

All I know is a big ole house

With rooms for everyone

All I know is lots a land

Where we can play and run

All I know is you need love

And I've got a family

All I know is your all alone

So why not come with me?

Come and go with me

To my Father's house

Come and go with me

To my Father's house

It's a big big house

With lots and lots a room

A big big table

With lots and lots of food

A big big yard

Where we can play football

A big big house

Its my Father's house

I may not be able to build a mansion to hold my whole family here on earth, but there is a mansion waiting for all God’s children when we go home.
