Full House
Each perch at the bird feeder was full as I glanced
out my window this morning. "Full house," I thought, "glad I filled it up!"
Some restaurants also experience a full house, especially on week ends.
"Sorry," they will say, "reservations are full." This can be a
discouraging situation, especially if you are planning a celebration.
Football stadiums may have a full house for game weekends, though it is
referred to as a sell out crowd. Being turned away at the gate can be an
disappointing situation.
There is a house which is never full, for there is room for all in this
particular one. Jesus said, "There are many rooms in my father's home,
and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell
you plainly." (John 14:2) What a promise!
There will always be room for you and me or all of God's children in His
house. No short supply of places to abide, and it is for eternity. That is
the good news, and I am thankful for it!
