Psalms 27:4 "One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek Him in His temple."

Three men were marooned on a desert island.  As the days slowly went by, they dreamed of what it would be like to be at home with their friends and family, to be back at their jobs doing the things they loved.  One day one of the men found a bottle.  When he opened it, a genie came out and announced that he would grant each of them one wish.
"Really?" one of the men said, "Boy, I sure would love to be back in Seattle with my wife and kids."  POOF! — in an instant he was gone.  Seeing that, the second man immediately gave his request, "I want to be back in New York with my fiancé!" And in a flash, POOF! — he was gone too.
The third man was left all alone sitting on the sandy beach and said, "Wow, it's lonely here with my friends gone. I sure wish they'd come back."  And POOF.
Merriam Webster defines "wish" as "to have a desire for, as something unattainable."  We use that word to much, don't you think?  We're always wishing for something, always yearning for something, always "needing" that one more thing. It seems we can never be satisfied!  There is only one thing we should truly desire, to have a deep love for God and people and to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of our lives. Let’s narrow that down and focus on one person today.  Moms are people – REALLY - so let’s start there on Mother’s day.  Because the God we love and whose house we dwell in has commanded it.
