The Homecoming

The Homecoming Jessica Powers The spirit, newly freed from earth, is all amazed at the surprise of her belonging: suddenly as native to eternity to see herself, to realize the heritage that lets her be at home where all this glory lies. By naught foretold could she have guessed such welcome home: the robe, the ring, music and endless banqueting, these people hers; this place of rest known, as of long remembering herself a child of God and pressed with warm endearments to God's breast.
