Load the buses!

We are getting ready to head out on our annual California Tour! I am so excited! Yesterday, we spent packing and getting ready for that. Of course, after Cali Tour, we have Christmas Break. I can not wait to go home.
In class today, we sang hymn 626. It goes like this:
Let us sing a song that will cheer us by the way,
In a little while we're going home;
For the night will end in the everlasting day,
in a little while we're going home.

In a little while, in a little while,
We shall cross the billow's foam;
We shall meet at last,
When the stormy winds are past,
In a little while we're going home.

We will do the work that our hands may find to do,
In a little while we're going home;
And the grace of God will our daily strength renew,
In a little while we're going home.

We will smooth the path for some weary, way-worn feet,
In a little while we're going home;
And may loving hearts spread around an influence sweet!
In a little while we're going home.

There's a rest beyond, there's relief from every care,
In a little while we're going home;
And no tears shall fall in that city bright and fair,
In a little while we're going home.

What powerful words! I know most of us were thinking about our earthly homes when we sang this morning, but we were all also thinking about our heavenly homes. We are getting ready to go home, even today. So let's load the bus!
