This Old House
By Peggy Curtice Harris
6/10/95 - Inspired by Joshua 18-21

This old House has existed for many a year.
It comes and goes in the memory
of those who lived here.

This old House is a house of glass,
with walls that expand
and a view that goes into eternity.

Our inheritance of this old House is only confined
by the limit of the imagination of those who live in it.
Some have big imaginations
	and some small.

Our inheritance can be occupied
in our minds right now
if we will only accept it fully.
This old House can fill all our needs:
It shelters all our lambs,
comforts all who sorrow,
brings healing to all of those who taste the Living Water,
and satisfies the hunger of all those who eat the Living Bread.

This old House was created to give us a vision,
a vision of our inheritance for eternity.

This old House was designed by the Master Designer.
There is none like it anywhere.
It is an original creation.
YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE!

Come, occupy, enjoy!
You are only restricted by your own vision!
Weary traveler of life,
come stop by here,
and rest!
And be filled with eternal Peace!
