But, in accordance with his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.
(2 Peter 3.13
NRSV)
King salmon fish amazingly hatches in the fresh water rivers of the northwestern U. S. After the female salmon lays approximately thirty thousand eggs, she swims away with her mate to die. From those eggs come young salmon who, when mature, will swim out to sea to spend four years swimming in the saltwater of the Pacific Ocean. Then something strange happens. After their time at sea, they somehow return to the mouth of the river in which they were born. Against overwhelming odds they seek their birthplace. Swimming upstream against the current, often leaping up and over strong waterfalls, they travel approximately twenty-five miles per day. Then they, in turn, lay eggs, beginning the cycle once again. Amazing.
Do you have a longing for your home with God our creator?
Dear Jesus, show me the way to our home. Amen.
