Ephesians 2:19-20
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.
In our faith communities
it is possible to be homeless
without knowing
that our restlessness
and our searching
that sense of not fitting in
were all signs
of homelessness
And when we discover
the way home
when we are welcomed
and embraced
shown hospitality
and invited to settle in
only then do we recognise
all that was missing
Only then can we breathe deeply
and rest in place
shrug off our big coats
step out of our walking boots
and allow our bare feet
to enjoy the feel
of sacred ground
That is coming home.
